Yeah, Ian Ogilvy was my Saint, but damn Roger Moore was smooth.

I'm regretting that, as far as I can tell, he and Dina Merrill were never paired onscreen.
gasp.
I'm really starting to feel old now... (And there was Cher, just a few days ago, showing how young and flexible 71years can be)
Peter Sallis - the voice of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit - has died at the age of 96.
How about this for feeling old. The Met game the other night was on Fox, a national broadcast. No one in the 3 person broadcast team knew what punchball was. Not a clue. I mean, it wasn't like they were in their early twenties.

Maybe punchball was a Queens thing? Do kids ever go outside and play these days? G-d, I sound so old
I believe it was played all over America for decades, at least in urban areas. I rarely see kids playing "pick up" sports or other kinds of street games these days.
oh, my Day Respite ladies will be so sad! They lost one of their own this week and now Bingo favourite, Roger... very sad news.

TV Batman actor Adam West dies at 88 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/worl...
So sad to hear about Adam West. I was "friends" with him on Facebook and he seemed like a nice guy. Loved the Batman show when I was young. Really liked the original Batman movie too. Shark repellant!
He was universally liked and admired as a genuinely nice Person. Also the times of "Batman" were so different. It was a pre Vietnam time. Maybe not Camelot, but a kinder, gentler time
Gulf of Tonkin resolution was 1964. There never was a formal declaration of war
There was also never a "kinder and gentler time". It depended on your circumstances.
I never became A Philosophy major as their lunch breaks are too short
oh, but author, the long afternoon and evening discussions into the full implications of In Vino, Veritas....now, that's worth the exploration!! 
Assuming A plentiful supply of crackers and dip, I would become a geology major........for me a fate worse than death
I'd have to consider that discipline carefully... things move very slowly there....
Even sadder....
