Anyone know Andy Harkin?

Him and fam are pretty much in the path of the storm. Sounds like it’s winding down a ‘bit’ as it makes its way across land, but still brutal conditions….

      vinnyt77 Anyone know Andy Harkin?

      The guy who played Gollum in Lord of The Rings?

      Know of him but don’t know him.

          What is the direction of travel of Hurricane Ian? Straight from Scotland to destroy Smallman’s already roofless house?

            Lol!

              Edit. Old vid apparently. Still made me laugh though.

              Smallman1 not to sound too much like Hugo, I had to fact check that - he didn’t, but tediously, he did win the British Soap Award for best actor in 2015. I was interested to note that there was one triple-winner in Danny Miller and three double-winners of the same award from the very same soap in Shane Ritchie, Martin Kemp and Ross Kemp (no relation)

              A high bar indeed.

                  I was taking the piss!

                    I’ll raise you a Frank Butcher

                      Frank lives on in the term Frank Butchered.

                      As in ‘went down to the nuclear sub on Saturday for a Leo Sayer, got absolutely Frank Butchered.’

                      He’d be proud.

                      Pub I used to use in Hull had a Frank Butcher fruit machine. Regardless of if anyone was playing it or not it was programmed to randomly play a clip of frank himself shouting the word “wollop!”
