Wolford6 1,736 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 It's coming up to Oscars time, and the forum is ripe for a thread containing current and historical comments from deluded showbiz types. This is from Cathy Tyson in the Guardian: I’m indebted to my parents... they were both working-class. My father was a barrister and my mother was a senior social worker.

Still alive, according the internet, which i didn't realise. Haven't seen him since the late Eighties.

Exiled Townie 231 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 For his performance as a man dying of AIDS in 'Philadelphia' Tom Hanks received the Best Actor gong. In his speech he thanked his old drama teacher and called him 'One of the finest gay Americans'.Trouble was, the actor's teacher had never actually come out.!!! Oops. A few years later this incident was made into a film, 'In and Out'. And chief luvvy Sir Laurence Olivier's speech takes come beating - "This award is a great firmament of your nation's generosities which shows the prodigal, pure human kindness of it all. This is a beautiful star in that firmament which shines on me at this moment and I am experiencing the euphoria that happens to so many of us at the first breath of the majestic glow of a new tomorrow." Quote Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.
