Stan & Ollie

No, not these two!

These two!

Who are playing these two!

It was a very good film, if a little sad as it showed the great Laurel and Hardy in the Autumn of their careers. It is a fictionalized account, they didn't play London, not on this tour and I think I'm right in saying there was never a Robin Hood film potentially being made, with references to a mysterious Mr Miffin. It is however a good film and the portrayals of Stan by Steve Coogan and Olly by John C Reilly are absolutely superb.

An A to something of music.

We often put on a CD rather than watch some crap on the television so tonight T came up with the idea of going through the alphabet playing a band with each letter choosing from the CD's that are downstairs, you see we are gradually decorating & clearing the lounge so the CD's are slowly making their way upstairs. We didn't get through the whole alphabet tonight, we got up to the letter 'I' with the following bands:
Alice Cooper
Bryan Ferry
Coldplay
David Gray
Eagles
Fairport Convention
Genesis
Hard Fi
Iggy Pop
It was great fun choosing & I in particular put on CD's I wouldn't normally have chosen. I was surprised how good Hard Fi were, billed as a rock band I have never heard them played on Planet Rock, but then they are always playing Supertramp who I wouldn't have called rock at all!
Music, a couple of glasses of red including my Birthday presie from Gary & Ellie. A good evening.
