Morning all,
More MHW last night. Took my massive chopper to flashbang lizard and puffball dragon with ease.
Moved to the next area and promptly got put on my arse by some sort of spiky ball thing. Back to the drawing board.
Anyone know what bits you need for the Blossom Blade III ?

He was a mess when he was drunk, as was clear from his famous appearance on After Dark. You are thinking of Android Oliver Reed, who appeared in Gladiator.

Morning all,
I remember reading a biography all about Oliver Reed, as with most functional alcoholics had was either very good or very bad. Can’t have been easy to live around. Stories I remember about him involve:
- Getting stuck up a chimney in a pub after a drunken version of hide and seek. Those dining the following day were shocked when he fell out of the chimney after waking up and rolling through the fireplace (which wasn’t lit)
- Trying to shoot down a helicopter which Keith Moon was in (how they met I believe)
- Lots of drunken and naked wrestling in pubs
- Holding Michael Winner captive at his estate for a weekend, Winner had turned up to discuss a new script and was met by Ollie in full musketeers garb.
- Jumping into a massive aquarium feature in a hotel lobby and eating the fish
- Being banned from hanging out with Keith Moon (lots of stories, Moon seems to have been crazier than Ollie. Alice Cooper once said of him “90% of all the stories about Moon are true, trouble is you’ve only heard 20% of them”).
There were plenty of others, many are initially hilarious but then seem quite sad. He was filming once in Mexico and a young actor and his wife was attending the post filming party. Ollie came up to him and asked him politely to leave. The young actor was horrified and was worried that he’d offended one of the leading British cinema stars of the time. Ollie replied “no I’m asking you to leave because I like you, it’s going to get nasty in a moment’.
The young actor left and he’d just made it out of the bar when he was a full sized pool table crash through a window.
In some ways I view him a bit like Gazza, years ago I heard one pundit tell a story about how Robson told Gazza he was as mad as a brush. Next day in training he turns up with several brushes in his socks. Hilarity ensues and it was told at the time with a sort of thigh slapping ‘what a joker’ tone.
Roll forward a good few years. Gazza is on Gazza-watch and the papers feature his decline. Same pundit rolls out the same story, only this time in a sober tone and adds how everyone thought it was a bit odd at the time (nice bit of revisionism).
So, games eh?

I can sink a good four or five pints with chasers and still run a mile. I’ll probably hurl everywhere, sure, but it’s eminently doable.
Last night I went for a run, cooked a healthy tea and didn’t drink anything. My life is spiralling dangerously into control.

[/quote] Do you mean the drinking mile? Something Ollie used to do round a village square (he had a number of pubs round it and used to visit them all)? The Ollie-being-drunk-on-tv thing is often mistaken as he would often pretend to be drunk (he could act drunk on demand). Case in point was The Word, where he wasn't drinking vodka in the changing rooms. It was water and he played up to it. |

Yeah his biographer mentioned Reed would often play the drunken fool role for the tv producers. He was 6 months sober when he died, foolishly accepting a drinking game invite whilst filming Gladiator and much drinking and arm wrestling ensued and led to a heart attack, all of which is tastefully referenced in the Maltese pub concerned.

I am the best at quote formatting
My dad's been to the pub in Malta, I think it's a bit of a double edged sword as he said that the owners seemed fed up about it, despite it bringing in lots of tourists.

I been to The Pub in Valetta a couple of times now. Lots of Ollie memorabilia as well as Navy (if that's yer thing), and letters from his wife thanking them for all the tributes. His last bar tab is framed behind the bar, and I have a T shirt with it immortalised, cos i'm an old sentimentalist, among other things that matter
8 pints of lager 12 double rums 14 whiskeys

My predictions.

2. England
3. Wales
4. France
5. Scotland
6. Italy
I really hope Scotland do better but I don't see it happening. I also can't see England winning it this year. Too many injuries.

My predictions for the 6 nations are the same as every year:
1. Won't pay much attention
2. Folk will go on about it
3. My curiosity will be piqued slightly
4. I'll watch a game
5. I'll remember I don't understand it
6. I'll be bored and swear I'll never watch rugby again
(also, Scotland will lose which ever match I watch)

Morning!
Bit more Monster Hunter last night. Smashing around with the hammer was quite entertaining. Killed 4 more Anjanaths, got 1 more fang, despite constantly trying to smash their face (worked quite well with a hammer). Also killed the Icy flying thing in the coral forest again. Building the armour set for it now as it looks a huge improvement on the fat bastard set I was using. Hat chat, currently using the one that makes me look like a beetle.
TV! Watched the finale of Kiri. Very lazy, disappointing ending.
