I liked his performance in Alec Guiness's 'orchestra' in The Ladykillers. He could do sinister very well..

Re: OBITUARIES
Agreed Comrade. He was never frightened of criticism and, unpopular though his views were, presented them without fear and was very influential. He ignored the 'bogeyman' potential of discussing Communism and revolution and looked dispassionately at the evidence. Think of the damage that irrational fear of the 'Red Menace' has done over the last 100 years.

Re: OBITUARIES
Or - think of the damage that the Red Menace actually did over the last hundred years. Stalin's purges, and Mao Tse Tung 's great leap forward come to mind.

Re: OBITUARIES
Connelly's Plaice if memory serves.
I see that Pat Jones has died. Until 2003 he ran the vacuum cleaner shop on Rainhall Road and he could always get you that elusive bearing that was going to save buying a new washing machine. A nice man and a useful shop.
