pacman Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The right wing media would often drag out Ian Paisley & his warnings whenever they wanted to frighten the public about the danger of foreigners. I remember his "river of blood" speech, it was very effective in alarming the masses. If Ian had directed his warnings against angry young Muslims he would have been more relevant but many of his dire predictions never came to pass. I always liked his passion but grew to realise he was a dinosaur with a racial agenda. I'm sure there are many people who still carry his concerns but no one dares say them. Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think youre getting Paisley Ian mixed up with Powel,Enoch Paccers.....Paisley didnt mind immigration as long as they weren't catholics that were immigrating...... Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ahhhh.... thanks Willie. Of course I was thinking of Enoch Powell. I jumped to my conclusion when I read JD's post about him going to hell. Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ahhhh.... thanks Willie. Of course I was thinking of Enoch Powell. I jumped to my conclusion when I read JD's post about him going to hell. i think the jury's still out on enoch paccers.....many of my generation still give it the "enoch was right".....he was a brilliant man...double first in greek at oxford i think....after the Conservatives kicked him out he went and got a safe seat in northern ireland ....at least he had the balls to say what he thought rather than the mealy mouth career politicians we have now.....He never forsaw the rise in fundamentalist islam that is spreading all over europe and the UK....he'd be spinning in his grave over those fuckwits Quote Link to comment

Sorry to hear about your long boring nights at work. My father spent a good part of his life working the Graveyard shift and I think he preferred it. Don't think it's for me though.

SiamSam Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Jack Bruce who was a member of John Mayall & the Bluebreakers, Manfred Mann, and the Cream has died at the age of 71. It was just the other day we were talking about the Cream in the "Band Names" thread. Strange coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Seven mentioned this one today as well in the Band thread. Tony Iommi {Black Sabbath} had mentioned his passing on his FB feed today, he was very influential to rockers who came after him. Quote Link to comment

Big Beliveau the announcers on tv used to call him. Remember him. and Jacques Laperrière, Yvan Cournoyer, JC Tremblay, Serge Savard, Henri Richard the pocket rocket, the Gumper, Rogatein Vachon, just off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment

pdogg Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 RIP Donna Douglas Elly May was a Tom and a Dee rolled into one. A beauty queen from Pride, La., she was already divorced and the mother of a son when she moved to New York to pursue acting not long after finishing high school. She had a number of small TV roles, her most memorable coming about two years before she was cast as Elly May,in theTwilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder." Douglas played a woman who was undergoing surgery to become more "normal"-looking and you don't understand why she isn't happy with the way she looks until it's revealed that everyone else looks...not so hot.

Hefe Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This is an actual newspaper obit, not a gag. I wish we all had this kind of attitude when vacating the premises, especially at such a young age... http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/citizensvoice/obituary.aspx?n=kevin-j-mcgroarty&pid=171851148&fhid=4786 Quote Link to comment
