    Ahh no, I meant the film. Never saw the series. He's been in lots of stuff I've seen but I suppose I started noticing him more a couple of years ago after Little Boy Blue.

    Isn't he now one of the highest paid as well. I thought Jumanji was pretty bloody good.

    Highly recommend watching the series, it follows on from the film and it's utterly brilliant.

    Not sure he invented it, he put his own stamp on it which were very good and therefore copied. He brought it to life on the big screen though.

    Obviously not kung fu... although between him and ip ...they certainly modernised it at the time.

    Tbf though ... it's the switch from the "martial" in the arts.... meaning at my to the one v one of sport ..the regimented forms of old Chinese Korean Japanese and even English martial arts were about battle not one v one. Lee just recognised it was no longer 400 guys gathered close but 1 vs 1 so... take any advantage...

    He'd have been a huge exponent of mma now

    Initially but nowadays you can't just specialise in one area, you need to master all types of combat to succeed.

    McGregor is fantastic at stand up but the current champ beat him easily because Coner can't wrestle.

    I've had kidney stones and I was told the same about the pain and yes they bloody well hurt but nowhere near as bad as the pain in my back and left leg due to a prolapse disc pressing on my nerves in spinal chord.Lots of people have prolapsed disc and feel nothing if it aint pressing on a nerve....lucky buggers.

    Had a 8mm kidney stone once. Took 6 weeks to pass it, close to killing myself

    The doctor told me if you get them once the chances are they will appear again with 10 years being about average between stones. If you avoid dehydration it apparently helps, he did not agree with me that this meant staying drunk would avoid stones!
