The RIP thread

[AngryAnt]

Yep the physical Vader whilst Earl Jones was the voice.

He was also this beefy guy in A Clockwork Orange!

Apparently died of Covid.

Has a bit of the Jemaine Clement's from the Flight of the Conchords

David Prowse, the original Darth Vader, RIP.

Yep the physical Vader whilst Earl Jones was the voice.

On the ABC radio over here today they actually had an original recording of Prowse saying

"you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. Take her away"

then they played Earl Jones saying the same thing.

Lucky they went with Earl is all I can say.

RIP Hugh Keays-Byrne.

Toecutter and Immortan Joe live on.

Never understood the angst.
How is it any different to when Martin did the most blatant throw out of a pack to Riewoldt who goaled?
The only difference is that each individual goal in a soccer match is so much more significant than they are in Australian Football.
But that's the fault of the sport, not Maradona.

England. Argentina. Falklands. World Cup.

Yep the Argentinian's did get a kick out of '86 when Maradona beat England "single handed"

Bloody Tunisian refs. Would have been better if it was a Russian like the linesman in 1966.

RIP Hugh Keays-Byrne.

Toecutter and Immortan Joe live on.

His turn in the original is captivating. Dominates every scene he is in.

RIP Charlie Pride.

What a legend Charlie was, I have very fond memories of listening to his music, a true legend.

I'm going to get drunk today and listen to his music.

Charlie Pride was the only singer that could almost do justice to the immortal Hank Williams songs.

RIP Charlie.

You could start thread on great verses in songs easy.

One of my favourites is from the late, great, Tennessee Ernie Ford's, Shotgun Boogie. There's some great lines in it.
