I haven't seen much of Natasha (my travelling companion), since March (you probably know why), but I did see Natasha, today and yesterday, I have been keeping in contact, with Natasha, via email, in an email, I sent to Natasha, at the weekend, I mentioned the sad news about Sean Connery, when Natasha replied, to the email, she told me some interesting information, her Drama teacher's father, appeared in the opening scene of Goldfinger, when I saw Natasha, this afternoon, she told me her Drama teacher's father, said the following words - there's a plane leaving for Miami, in an hour, words that were said to Sean Connery, at the bar, in the El Scorpio Nightclub.
The father of Natasha's Drama teacher, would have been Raymond Young (who played Sierra, in Goldfinger).

Very sad news.
I know Sean, will always be best remembered, for playing the role of James Bond, in seven films, but his sad passing, made me think how many films have I got starring Sean, where he didn't play James Bond, thanks to IMDb, I have now worked out the answer - 10.
I hope Sean, is up there now, with Roger Moore, and that they are both enjoying a Martini (shaken not stirred).
R.I.P. Sean Connery.

I voted for Buster and Roy of the Rovers, Buster contained my all time favourite Comic Strip - The Leopard from Lime Street.
I used to read a lot of Comics, when I was a child, only problem, they used to take up a lot of room, but nowadays, a lot easier, because you are now able to buy DVD-ROMs, which contain hundreds of issues of old Comics, DVD-ROMs, take up a lot less room, I have got a lot of DVD-ROMs, which contain thousands of issues of old Comics, some of the DVD-ROMs, also contain Annuals and Specials.

Since you posted up the pics Billy does this mean there’s no 2021 calendar? Arch, I have never thought of designing a Hitchcock ladies calendar, but since you made the suggestion on this Thread, I thought to myself - good idea.

Nicholas Parsons played Rev Wainwright, in The Curse of Fenric, one of the best serials, from the last series of classic Doctor Who (1989).
My Great Granny, was once (probably in the 1970's), in the audience, watching an episode of Sale of the Century, being filmed at a studio in Norwich, at the time, she was with other members of the Cromer British Legion.
My Grandad, used to work on the Railways (in the Restaurant Cars), Norwich to London line, and he used to see Nicholas Parsons, on the Train, quite a lot.
R.I.P. Nicholas Parsons.
