    i'm currently in the south of France, yesterday night enjoying a specifically beautiful, incredibly bright moon, in the dead silence of the countryside, when a friend informed me of Armstrong's passing.

    The extreme brightness of the moon certainly the appeared to me to be a fitting tribute to him as I dedicated a moment to one of the world's last true explorers, having gone -as one of the few in history- truly where no man had gone before.

    Thanks for the inspiration, Neil

  2. We spent a moment looking at the moon last night, remembering Neil Armstrong and the moon looked like something straight out of a movie: poking out from behind an archipelago of clouds. Stunning.

    To be able to look up at the moon and reflect on memories of being THERE!!

    I remember looking at the moon while Armstrong & Aldrin were actually on it, even as an 8 yr old I felt a huge sense of wonder, I think my life then revolved around Apollo missions, well, that and Dinosaurs wink

    I can't do better than this Tim except to say that that would be a great memory to have.

    Considering the Apollo missions ended in 1972 do you remember anything about them Alan?

  6. Not much. I remember watching splash-downs on TV. And I have vague recollections of seeing moon footage. But that is all.

    Where exactly are you Martijn? As I am also still in the south of France (near Albi) and we also had a stellar moon to look at.
    I'm wondering if you are close by...

    Yeah, I read about it last night, but was on mobile so couldn't comment as I'm unable to easily inserts much-needed links.

    You chose the ones I was going to, too. smile

    91, a very good stretch.
    And still too short for a talent of that magnitude.

    Never my cup of tea, he was an older generation entertainer, still, I was sad to hear of his passing, he played a substantial part in British TV history.

    Here's a clip of him and Geoff Love, you'd NEVER get this kind of TV now....

  12. Not my kind of entertainer either. But when he was on TV when I was a kid it wasn't something I would leave the room to avoid. I seem to recall that he was always interesting to listen to on talk shows.

    Just read that the actor Michael Clarke Duncan has died at the age of 54.

    He'll probably be remembered by most for his fantastic portrayal of John Coffey in The Green Mile.

    Sad news.

    Aw shit!!! For that role alone he'll always be remembered by me, a stunning and very moving performance in one of my all time favourite films.

  16. Wow. He was really young. Sad news. He had the coolest voice.
  17. The Green Mile is one of my all-time favorite films. He was primarily the reason why... sad
  18. yeah read the news too
    took me by surprise

    too young for a person sad
    may he rest in peace
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Ouch, sorry to hear that. This completely passed me by as I was travelling California.

    A powerful actor in every sense of the word -- his role in PLANET OF THE APES (beneath make-up) is great, as is THE GREEN MILE, obviously.

    54 is way too young. Strange, too, since he seemed so healthy and 'buffed'.
    I am extremely serious.

    He changed sizes in various films but in Green Mile he was enormous, afraid to say that you don't get that big without a little "help" and that could have been an underlying problem.

    Hm. Good point. slant

    Almost all my WWF heroes from the eighties are either dead or severely disabled in their early fifties thanks to that "little help".

    I'm familiar with him by name (mostly through the TV show), but I often confuse him with Andy Griffith and The Andy Griffith Show, for some reason. After reading the obit, I realize it's the guy who sang the beautiful "Moon River".

    In any case, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of someone who meant much to you, Timmer.
