Little Herbert

© m4sure

I was looking at my old picture files today and I came across this adorable photo of my maternal grandfather as a small child. It is his branch of my family that I am doing research on at the moment. There is mystery, and a tragic turn of events as well. Herbert was the same grandfather who later served in the Eighth Army during WW2 in North Africa and the middle east. He was one of the "desert rats" there as well...

Little Herbert...

The Legendary Marx Brothers



Been watching a couple of the Marx Brother's movies today. Have one of their box sets. Was in fits of laughter at some of their antics. They were so talented in their own crazy way. My favourite film by far at the mo is 'Duck Soup'. I've liked the Marx Brothers since I was a kid with my favourite being Harpo. And even though these films are really old, they're still extremely fun to watch. My favourite quotes by Groucho so far include... "Go and never darken my towels again!" Classic.


Here's another pic I like...



Harpo and those scissors! That mischievous look on his face when he snips everything in sight is just so hilarious.

Critics hail Tennant for part-time Hamlet

.."David Tennant was honoured today for the best Shakespearean performance of the year despite his limited London run"..

I know that David is a good actor, but would he of got this award if he hadn't been the current Dr Who? :\
