From Hull Daily Mail Funeral announcements

"
Peacefully passed away at home on October 9. He fit a few lifetimes worth of living in only 63 years. Dearly loved by his family and many friends around the world, John will be truly missed. He lived and travelled all over the world; but never loved anywhere as much as his home in Hull. The only thing he loved more than his Hull City Tigers was his devoted son Robert (his daughter-in-law, Jenny, was a close third.) John will also be remembered by Barbara, Bob and Tom; Puddin' and Andy; Zena, Andrae, and many more aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Private cremation to be held Friday October 30. Celebrations of his life to be held in Hull and Baton Rouge at a later date when coronavirus restrictions are lifted. In lieu of flowers, it was John's request that you consider donating to the Bishop Ott Shelter Program in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in his honor.

He was an extra in a few cheapo horror movies.

Is that all?

I thought he was part of the production team for some reason, something to do with special effects rings a bell.

Is there another member of this forum who does that who I’ve mixed him up with?

He did work in behind scenes and when he was working on "Dukes of Hazard" he put a City flag on the wall of the garage in the film.

Very good but are you sure it wasn't Meinberg?

There are a number of German words for hill, with some applied to different things, the size, mound etc. Berg tends to be used for larger things and normally used for mountains or huge pile.. The most common one for hill, and the word we used when I did German for a while at school before I could get out of it (it was the teacher not the subject) was hugel. Though there are other words. A bit like technically there is a point in [HASHTAG]#nglish[/HASHTAG] where you should use Mountain instead of hill.
After all that it is possible he used berg. I read somewhere on an article about him he had used hugel. Either way pretty inventive by him.

Never did German so I had to look it all up! This is the bloke you referred to, makes you wonder how often this sort of thing happens.
