I think that Alec was advised by the BAFTA winning filmmaker Paul Berriff who is from Hessle I believe.

Talking of photos, well OLM was, there is an exhibition of photos taken by Dr Alec Gill, local historian, held in the Brynmor Jones Library Hull Uni until January. He took over 6,000 photos and this exhibition is only of a very few, circa 1970's, all black & white photos. There are also some...

I know its a bit late in the day but Happy Birthday all the same Chaz :emoticon-0148-yes:

Then you should like, The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, Askew, one of the first Le Carre's books to get the film treatment, Richard Burton is superb as Alec Leamas, Denholm Elliott played George Smiley in A Murder Of Quality, another Le Carrè book. I think I have them all now, including the...

lol, you are right John he did indeed always have a red face, before and after training even, his mam lived down our street and I often saw him visiting her, not sure if Les had a car as I always saw him walking.

Having lost both parents, grandparents, my only brother (no sisters) aunties, uncles and old school friends it is now a sobering thought that I am the eldest living male on my dad's side of the family. As a youngster it never occurred to me that this would happen, I was always the 'young un', on...

Possibly DJ but it was only by accident that I came across the Liam Neeson film, and yes you could be right.

Could be Frank, but as I have stated, its slowly losing my interest despite me getting 'into' the series earlier on, shame really.

I've noticed with the Americans, they have a good series then flog it death to keep the advertisers happy, I think that's what happened with Homeland, and Taken is going the same way. Going back years to Dallas, Dynasty and the rest, I used to watch them as they were good for a laugh in the...

As you say Ernie, daughters? Won't see any of the 'borrowed' money that she has had ever again I don't think Ern, but she has had a shed load of sh*t to deal with and still has, she has a daughter herself and is helping her within her limited means, its endless. And as you say to take away fear...

Yes TC I remember the Sheffield Wednesday connection and for some reason I seem to think there was also a link to the 3 Sheffield players who played for England at the time and got banned for life, bribes I think it was.

Ah, got it, and yes I agree. :emoticon-0148-yes:

I've got a cut price (sort of) subscription to Amazon Prime, mainly just to see what it is all about, I have a Kindle and buy books and other stuff anyway and so its free delivery. Anyway I have been following a series, Taken, and really liked it, and kind of Homeland theme, but as I am now on...

Our son worked for one somewhere in the city centre a while back and its a bit of a pressure job, not sure about the shady side of things Plum.

A while back my daughter moved over for an ambulance to pass and went into the bus lane, she got the standard fine letter but ignored it. She is coping, just, with financial matters so just ignored the fine, and the next letter, which had risen to £120 I think. By this time she was told that she...

A bit of good news for the City (not Hull City unfortunately). https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/business/vodafone-resq-200-jobs-hull-2136961

Superb. Saw these guys at Hull City Hall but with Mick Taylor ex Rolling Stones, I was transfixed for 2hrs afterwards got John Mayall and Mick Taylor's autograph, memorable night, and even though Mrs Ref was not really into this stuff she was with it by the end of the night take it away boys.

That seemed to be the case back then Al, I have another pictures with Dudley Price in it, he seemed to be from this era although not on this picture.

With Bernard Fisher being in the picture maybe Billy Bly had hung up his boots by this time TC, as for Bill Bradbury not sure if he was still around either, bare in mind I was only a young lad at this point and City had signed both Jackie Sewell and Roy Shiner which, if I remember right were...

A picture Jimmy Lodge gave to me after I had sneaked into BP to watch a training session. As you can see I also collected autographs as well. As far as I can remember: Sat down Dave King. Front row: Gus MacLean (I think, trainer) Andy Davidson, Charlie Crickmore, Les Collinson, Paul Feasey...
