Well actors are actors, half a dozen lines of dialogue in a dodgy film and they will spend the rest of their lives dining out on it.
Past glories? Maybe it's genuine.

It is one of those quotes though!

Is the letter suspect?

It's a fake, but still entertaining and I can imagine that might well have been his reply had he been approached.

One of our friends tells the story of how he was a Dr Who fan and was taken by his Grandfather to a Dr Who convention as a Birthday Treat.

His Grandfather then started chatting as they went round. He then casually dropped into the conversation that the Cybermen had changed since he was one!

A gobsmacked child!

Turns out Grandfather had been to stage school and after graduating had played cybermen in the Patrick Troughton era. He had though never got the big break and had left acting to pursue a career in banking. It was an episode of hislife that he never thought important enough to talk about. However his Grandson did when he went back to School!

Ahh; the good ol' "Tele"!

Good story, but I have heard that it is also a fake. Worked in Greenock for 19 years and have never heard of such a place as the "reformed temperance hall".

Indeed; that would be like staging an Irish ceilidh and lock-in in a "reformed mosque".

Nice site - a time sink. I particularly liked 'Lost cat: Please return dead and alive to Mr Schrodinger' on the Street Poster one, and the wormhole poster is great as well - took some effort that one!

Maybe his boss said he was going to light a fire under his arse.
