Tick tock. Fortnight left.

Bob Holness has rolled a 7.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16443263

No doubt there's loads of jokes on Twitter about having an RIP or something like that.

I was putting together my list and Holness was on it. Ah well, better timing required.

"Holness was the second actor to portray James Bond"
Isn't that a myth?

Oh no, that's the Baker Street one.

No. The playing the saxophone on Baker Street is a myth, the Janes Bind thing is true.

Hey! You stealth edited! And I wrote Janes Vind instead of James Bind, but can't edit my posts

I am not better than MaliA.

You're thinking of Gerry Rafferty.

edit: and he died last year.

Gerry Rafferty played Bond and types better than MaliA.

That's what I read

Malc

There's certainly some blonde typing evident in here

Well yeah.

Look at the colour of his shirt:



EDIT: He even rocks a red SUIT:

Ha! I'd completely forgotten about that!

If they're all doing the hand jive, where is the clapping noise coming from?

P.S. Raphael Ravenscroft played the sax on Rafferty's 'Baker Street.' Maybe Bob played a sax on the real Baker Street before he was famous.

No, it's just a myth that would be awesome if true. Like Jessica Fletcher being a hermaphrodite.

One week left! GovYard, I need a replacement for your Gazza nomination

Ooh, go on then.
