I remember reading about that in a biography on David Niven. A taxi driver recalled David Niven asking him to turn around and return to the airport though they had travelled a fair way as he had forgotten to tip the porter.
The writer said he had a hard job finding anything negative about him to balance things up. He had to setyle for a family member telling himmthat Niven could be a bit unpleasant if he drank a lot of gin. But when someone mentioned it to him he stopped drinking it.

During the war he was asked to stay in the USA to carry on making propoganda films but returned and joined up as he said he wouldn't be able to look people in the eye after the war otherwise. (That fine actor Leslie Howard said the same and lost his life).

If you have never read them, The Moon's A Balloon and Bring On The Empty Horses are worth reading if you feel like being cheered up.
Aye great books both of them.

Pacific for specific gets right on my tit end.
 
I did ask for this nonsense to end, as my request was ignored and the thread was being ruined, I've ended it.
Amber Nectar has a Miscellaneous thread called "Things that piss me off" I suggest that for this subject in particular I reckon certain posters would be on that thread more than any other......

That's my room 101 scenario. Trapped in a narrow tunnel, alive with no hope of rescue.

a guy actually died in that very cave, went into a tight tunnel like that head first and got stuck upside down, rescuers tried for over 24h to get him out but they couldn't
they sealed it off and it's now his tomb
 
i have nightmares about crawling under a table never mind a 10 inch high tunnel

I'd **** myself in a 10' tunnel, never mind a 10" one.

A relative of someone I know was asked to check out a newly discovered network, but got caught in flash floods underground. They reckon he'd have been treading water, as the water slowly rose to fill the void he was in. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
I know that the thread is called And Now For Something Completely Different but after those last 2 videos it should be renamed And Now For Something Completely Insane.
