Yul Brynner A Tribute

[outwoodclaret]

I was recently watching a re-run of the King and I in which Yul appeared as the King of Siam with his trademark shaven head. Born in Vladivostok in 1920 Yul was often photographed in the 60’s when in London with leading footballers from Spurs and West Ham (Greaves Hurst Moore Peters etc) though perhaps not unsurprisingly as someone born in Russia it was the Reds of Bill Shankly’s Liverpool that captured his interest. Photos from the period always show his shaved pate but Brynner a known womaniser never wore after shave. They still sing about that at Anfield to this very day.

Is he dead.

Is he dead.

Yes he is BT. But that isn’t the punchline. Think about the song.

outwood, as one of advancing years I know that Yul never wore cologne. I'll get my coat.

Sorry lads I’ve been in the hot sun for nearly 3 weeks now and the brain is frazzled.

BT : You have been here in Israel ,why didn't you call me?

But the best way is to take just 10 mins, next time after that take longer about 15 -20 mins, still when you get more opportunity take longer. Now it will be at least 6 months every day 'sunshine' here.

I've no idea what the song was about Sir outwood, after shave or not, but i did enjoy the magnificent 7, I believe he was called Chris like me.
