He could be quite proper in spots and then be quite difficult if he felt someone stepped on his toes a bit.

In a hundred or so years those gaudy monstrosities could be valued as much as the Victorian buildings they replaced. It's not necessarily about the buildings, it's about the era. It's not necessarily about the people that lived in the era, it's about the people that would have liked, in some way, to be in that era, or their view of that era. That is why older buildings tend to be perceived as having a higher value. It has an emotional basis rather than a logical, practical basis. People tend to focus on the perceived good side of the era and generally ignore the bad side. Decisions based on nostalgic views can get people into a lot of financial debt or can lead to great wealth, or possibly both over a long enough time period.

Those victorian buildings were money pits. Hard to heat with the open stairways, high ceilings (many were dropped) metal or leaded windows. The 70's was when the energy crisis happened. Though I agree they were beautiful and the 70's architecture horrible. There was a reason.

@malpreece5008

Жыл бұрын

@@garyburchgb You might be right, but I hope not! I’m sure nostalgia plays a part to a certain extent, but it’s not entirely about that. Beauty isn’t entirely subjective, and many of the buildings torn down in the 1960’s-70’s were objectively beautiful. Many of the pre-war buildings were built at a time when architects considered aesthetics as well as utility. Whereas, most modern buildings are only built with utility in mind, and they’re usually built with poor materials and with the idea that they only need to last 60 years or so. Few could be described as beautiful. The problem is modern architects seem to forget that there is utility in beauty. If a building is beautiful, people will want to keep it and continue to use it.

Sadly, another alcoholic and both deceased rip. I don't necessarily agree with all he said, but it was his time on the shop. Gay Byrne would have sorted this carry-on quickly. Carson took no control.

Oliver spent his last few years living in Ireland about ten miles from where I live. He should have moved there years before as drunken brawling, Oliver's favorite pastime, was also much enjoyed by the locals. Unbelievable as it many seem, Oliver often served behind the bar in one of the pubs and he became something of a tourist attraction: a big crumbling wreck of a man always ready with a joke but just as likely to throw a powerful right hander! Not surprisingly, Oliver was loved by the locals who adopted him as one of their own as they also loved drinking and brawling in the street. Hundreds of local Irish folk lined the roads to pay their respects as Oliver's hearse made it's way to the church and the only one from the movie business to bother showing up was his lifelong friend Michael Winner. Winner said this was the most touching scene he had ever witnessed. We could do with Olly now and that's for sure!

Ollie was a genius actor. Pure hell raiser and had great sense of humour. His best friend was Keith moon out of the who. Both were complete nutters eccentric but both geniuses at the same time. His attitude changed as he got older. Plus his acting talent grew from strength to strength. I agree about Gladiator he was definitely Oscar worthy. He was also excellent in the Three musketeers. Played some incredible roles during his career . He took that well and managed to ride it out and turn it round . Both of them had huge personalities. Bound to clash. He certainly knew how to party let's put it that way .

Oliver Reed was one of our great hell raisers of all time. This tv interview along with the one he did on The Des O’Conner Show in 1986 is very funny and hilarious. Celebrities wouldn’t get away with it today on television. He was a great actor and a larger than life personality. We just don’t get the likes of him and Richard Burton anymore.

WHy are women so angry about being housewives? WOmen are supposed to provide comfort and cook the food for the children and husband and a man is supposed to bring home the money to get said food and pay for the roof over their heads. It's nature Men and women compliment each other they are two sides of the same coin. WHy doesn't everyone realize that without balance everything falls apart and that everything in this reality has a duality to it. I call it the reality of duality. CHildren need their mothers to grow up properly not be sent off to a day care with some strangers or sent to their grandparents who have already raised their own children so why should they have to raise someone else as well? The only time a child should be without both parents is if there is an accidental death. I was raised by a single mom from the age of 5 upward and I am a sniveling wreck and my life sucks. My mom had no time to make sure I did my homework. I was stuck in front of a video game system or taken to the babysitters instead of given attention by my parents. THAT is the reason so many "adults" these days act like sniveling spoiled brats! nobody is raising their children correctly anymore!

When he said 'at the turn of the century will you have left us the ashes of the earth or will you have left us houses'......... wow. how well that resonates to the modern age

3:18 When Carson says "That's very nice", that was comedy genius.

Hollywood legend Oliver Reed ‘liked young girls’, the Max Clifford trial sensationally heard today. The millionaire PR guru claimed to represent the Oliver Twist star to a teenage recruitment consultant - and said he had to cover up the actor’s controversial sexual preferences, jurors heard. The consultant, just 19 at the time, said Clifford made the shock revelations during a meeting about a PA job at his Bond Street offices. She said: ‘He said it was working as his PA and as part of that it would be looking after his list of celebrities, taking care of their needs. ‘He named a lot of celebrities, and one that I remember is Oliver Reed. ‘I was very young and didn’t really know who the other ones were very much. I remember clearly Oliver Reed. ‘He said that some of his clients, and specifically named Oliver Reed, had sexual preferences and he explained that Oliver Reed liked young girls. ‘And that as a publicist, this was problematic for him and it would be part of the role I was there for, to protect the clients. ‘He just said they had different sexual preferences and I remember him specifically saying about Oliver Reed, that he liked young girls.’She said that very quickly Clifford began interviewing her for the job and quizzing her about how she could help ‘protect Oliver Reed’.
