Deid

[57vintage]

Grill magnate and former boxer George Foreman is deid at 76.

That fecht with Ali in October 1974 is still the most memorable bout I’ve seen.

It was good too, in decades after he, Frazier and Ali, punched the fuck out of each other, showing the mutual genuine respect and affection they had for each other as all true pugilists do.

RIP min.

You forgot Paris Angels min!

Sad to read of his passing.

Too many from that era seem to be passing and at relatively young ages. ☹️

My auld ma was a fan.maybe trying to get in about him IF there is another side.
Sure he started out as a singer.

Edit: Just read about his passing. He came out as gay in 2003. Nae luck mother!

He was in The Thorn Birds in the early 80s. A the woman lapped it up, but the very last episode couldn't be seen up here as the TV transmitter went down due to the weather.

🤣

I think they did eventually show it on another day. No catch up TV back then.

I was certainly aware of it at the time but I don’t remember the TV going down, I wasn’t allowed to actually watch it, it must have caused bedlam as The Thorn Birds was huge.
Swaddon must be young.

Father De Bricissart (sp?) was a huge *** symbol which was pretty disturbing given he was a Catholic priest.
Maybe why I wasn’t allowed to watch it

I'm 43. I've vaguely heard of Dr Kildare, but it's way before my time and I wouldn't have known who the star was.

I don't think it was the weather. Just something went wrong during the last episode. I can remember my Ma swearing at the telly. Interuptions with services were frequent back then.

I wouldn't have been watching it, but likely to have been in the living room or kitchen, either reading or colouring in. That was the choices of a winter evening for kids back then, if nothing on the four channels or if the big folk wanted to watch something.

Didn't we have no TV for a week in about 1987?
