My current and long time choice of avatar is Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, star of the silent movies. He was one of the Keystone Cops and a close friend of Buster Keaton. Although one of the highest earners and biggest attractions of the silent film era Arbuckle is more likely remembered for a sex scandal where a wannabe film starlet Virginia Rappe died not long after a party that Arbuckle had attended. Although she was an alcoholic with a history of mental illness and abortions her death was attributed at the time to Arbuckle who was accused of raping her and causing internal bleeding as a result of his heavy weight and also having used a bottle to rape Rappe with. Even though the first two court cases ended in mis-trials and the final one found him not guilty Arbuckle's career was in ruins and he never recaptured the status he'd once enjoyed.
That was my second holiday, I'm planning a 3rd in October so I have to hold some days back, hence the 12 day holiday.
Can't afford a two week holiday and can only just afford a 12 day holiday if his missus gets him free parking at the airport.
Churchill used to be an MP in Dundee but instead of living there he chose to go the Western Front instead. True story and can anybody blame him?
I think you have become confused Iain, the free parking is a bonus not a deal breaker and If I had taken 14 days holiday in July I probably could not have gone away for 7 days in October (also with free airport parking). Thinking of going to Madeira.
You posted that only after we'd asked. Lying ****, but we knew that after you'd claimed falsely to be Glaswegian.
