Burt Reynolds has died

One of my favourites.... RIP, Burt.

Deliverance was a hard film to watch.... Smokey and the Bandit more fun.

Nice 2 C U Sweetpea.

I can't say I was ever really a Burt Reynolds fan, his films not to my taste but I saw a long interview with him quite a while ago and was extremely impressed by the way he kicked painkillers and didn't take them any more despite severe pain. That really takes strength of character.

Hello Robbie.... sorry, I missed this earlier. Good to see you too. Hope you enjoyed your holiday!

Yes, that was a very hard and courageous thing for Burt Reynolds giving up the painkillers. Addictions of any kind are difficult to overcome.

Yes and it really bugs me how some of these American doctors dish them out like sweets (think Prince and Michael Jackson). Probably happens here too but we hear less of it.

(I had a really good time thanks, got back late last night and glad to have had today to do nothing much. Going to work tomorrow and Saturday (I do the odd Saturday - and like it!). That's my hols over for this year.)

10-4!
As a then breaker, I was wowed by the chicken box movie.  The cool moves of the skateboard whilst modulating on the rig were bril!
73's and 51's.
We gone.
