No question, but I'm sure I've heard him use "yins" as a plural as well.

edited due to odd double posting... Internet was a bit weird today, not to rioters but some issue with a major hub for UK internet traffic...

Billy Connolly is 6'3" Jesus he looked alot shorter than that in Absolution as well as The Last Samurai, unless 'Pocky' and Cruise are 7 footers.

I think they stood Cruise on a box. It's a contractual requirement that directors have to make him look tall.

No I think I got that wrong - first site said 6'3", but the rest say 6', so I guess that's the height to go for. Cruise is sub-miniature though, no question :)

Well Dicky Burton was no mini me, but he wasn't a giant, neither and I would think that Connolly came up short on him by half a head in the film Absolution. ( I better go have a look at that again, to be sure) But I think he was still in his 20's then...dunno if he groweded up somewhich from there.

Cruise's height is listed as 5'7" (which surprises me as I heard he was way shorter), although he used to claim it as 5'9", apparently. So Billy would be 3 inches taller. Richard Burton's height is listed as 5'9.5", so a bit of box-standing, or possibly camera angle maybe?

Or perhaps they just dug holes for the other two?

Dont' know about 'youns' though It's pronounced "you-uns", not "yowns", like "you-uns all get on home when the street lights come on!" Thanks to my southern-Ohio-born mother, I bathed with a "warsh-rag" instead of a washcloth and our first president was George Warshington. I found out about the "R's" when I left the farm and got out into the big wide world, lol.

This is a video of a man who has celebral palsy being pulled out of his wheelchair and dragged along the ground by a member of the the Metropolitan Police. He's later restrained by another police officer. However, in fairness, it's posted by those admittedly radically lefty anarchist agitators, the BBC.

quote: ORIGINAL: RapierFugue The Met Police's own spokeswoman has just spoken in support of people's right to protest peacefully (like the peaceful vigil on The Embankment currently going on), while criticising the small number of troublemakers who have been throwing missiles at police (snooker balls, flares and bricks), and vowing that those who do commit acts of unprovoked violence will be dealt with "firmly", and that they will be prosecuted. Christ almighty. The man I mentioned can't even use his fucking arms - much less throw a 'missile' - and hasn't been able to since birth, because of his celebral palsy. Priceless comment, RF. I shall treasure it forever.

I saw that later, but everything I saw before the cops were remarkably quiet and restrained and most of the protesters were also pretty mellow, just a bunch of idiots throwing stuff, I was actually impressed by the cops. A while later I went over and watched TV and that was all over the BBC. I honestly don't know what happened, I'm not saying the police is always right, there have been enough instances where the police was violent or too violent, but everything I saw until the wheelchair incident was them being very very calm despite having things thrown at them by a small group of the protesters. I thought they were fantastic, then I flopped out on the sofa with a glass of orange juice (I like to live dangerously) and they're showing the wheelchair incident and I was completely shocked. Mind you I am surprised that nothing more was heard of the incident since it was a few days ago.
