Steve Smith Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Have you seen "High Plains Drifter" ORF? I am sorry, of course you have I think it is one of Clint's best piece of work :finbar: :finbar: yes...good film... :banana: I just love the narrative and why I think Clint has much more acting talent than the bunch of other tough guys. A remote little town lets the evil gang horsewhip the sherriff to death and Clint rides in and gradually exposes corruption, incest, and nasty things. We are never told but we all know that Clint is the ghost of the murdered sheriff come back to wreak his terrible revenge. In the end he paints the town red and calls it "Hell" Such a great macabre story. That is why Clint is such a great and talented actor Someone above says "Where is Alaska" I will phone Sarah Palin and Alaska? Oh dear sorry very very poor, it was not worth the effort, I apologise :drool: :drool: Well the way I see it is that state is a beautiful wonderful wilderness if you like that sort of thing. But being snowed up in a cabin for 9 months of the year is just my idea of what hell would be, each to their own I understand. My idea of heaven is where you can go to the beach and have a barbeque and a few beers and a sing song with your friends in January. So I guess, South Portugal or California or Thailand would be my heaven. Nothing stupid hot, just about 90 degrees with a lovely sea breeze all year round :drool: :drool: :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Smith Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sorry I miss read the post. He said "where in Alaska" not "where is Alaska". Apologies for my dyslexia :P :P :P :P I once went Ski-ing with a friend who also sufferers dyslexia. I said to him "Ok we will go down this slope and Zag Zig all the way down" He said " No Steve it is Zig Zag not Zag Zig" So I said ok there is a guy on a sledge over there we will ask him Excuse me, when you ski from side to side is it Zag Zig or Zig Zag? "No idea, I am a tobboganist" So I said "Oh ok can I have a packet of Lucky Strike and some matches please?" Oh dear It's getting worse Sorry sorry :o :o :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see programmes that talk of people leaving their terrible stressful life in LA to live in Alaska. I think maybe if I may say please, there was a story about a successful banker in the City of London who just had a breakdown from all of the pressure of his job. When he came out of hospital he cashed in his shares and sold his London house for £3 million and moved his family to a Scottish Island and bought a small farm.

pjbear05 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Spent the morning and early afternoon at the Barrett-Jackson collector car show and auction in Palm Beach. Walked about first, looking at vehicles that were being sold or already were sold. Checked out the exhibitors hall and got to sit behind the wheel of a 2017 Viper, OMG what a RUSH! Then went into the staging area where the vehicles are prepared before going into the main hall and onto the auction block. Chevrolet Performance displayed a nasty looking 1969 Chevelle resto-mod with a 376 crate motor; body in a sharp black metal flake. Talked with a Ford rep about the Explorer, as that will likely be my next actual vehicle purchase (if the price of the Viper didn't do me in, the costs of insurance would). The TV broadcasts of the show are nice, but seeing the vehicles close up was too cool. Then went to bar owned by a family of ex-Detroiters for a taste from home. Coney dogs and chili fries. Have mercy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moony played a hand of cards with one of the road crew before a big gig in US. He had to take an "Elephant Tranquiliser" as a forfeit which he did!!!. The band went on and Moonny got slower and slower and started to pass out. The manager and road crew had to inject amphetimees and adrenilin substitute to bring him back.
