Audax Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Christopher Lee was Fu Manchu in a movie(s) as well, The Brides of Fu Manchu, 1966.

T J Hooker Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 cheers but that just doesn't work for me for some reason, nevermind though I've never really watched his series of fu manchu films, i'll have to give them a go sometime(it gives me an excuse to buy a hammer dvd boxset)
Audax Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Don't even take the "S" out, that is true for some websites, not others. The whole thing, https
Neil Weaver Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I've never really watched his series of fu manchu films, i'll have to give them a go sometime(it gives me an excuse to buy a hammer dvd boxset) Testing the memory a bit this, but I don't think the Fu Manchu films were made by Hammer.
Audax Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Testing the memory a bit this, but I don't think the Fu Manchu films were made by Hammer. I think you are correct, I even looked up Fu Manchu, first movie made was back in the day of silent movies. Fu Manchu first appeared on the big screen in the 1923 British silent film serial The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu starring Harry Agar Lyons. Lyons returned to the role the next year in The Further Mysteries of Dr. Fu Manchu. In 1929 Fu Manchu made his American film début in Paramount's early talkie, The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu starring Warner Oland, best known for his later portrayal of Charlie Chan in the 1930s. Oland repeated the role in 1930's The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu and 1931's Daughter of the Dragon as well as in the short, Murder Will Out as part of the omnibus film, Paramount on Parade where the Devil Doctor confronts both Philo Vance and Sherlock Holmes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_Manchu I do like some old movies and there are a lot of people who really like the Hammer films obviously.

dave birch Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I liked this one, probably because of his age, Looking for a local hero.......you won’t find better than this guy. Three men remain in hospital today after what is believed to have been a late-night home invasion gone sour in Taree on Friday. The group of three to four suspected “junkies” have been terrorising the streets of Taree for some time, with a string of break and enters. However it appears the serial burglars have recently struck trouble of their own when they attempted to break in to the house of former tent boxing champion, 78 year-old local Reg “Slim” Flynn. 78 year-old Taree identity Reg “Slim” Flynn has not provided police with consistent stories about what happened to the three men who tried to rob his home. At around 10:15 pm on Friday night, neighbours of Mr Flynn reporting hearing “muffled whispers and footsteps” followed by a “slamming door”. The chaos that erupted was described by Reg’s next door neighbour as “World war f-ing three”. “Old Reg had obviously known they were in the house He’s gone and locked both the front and back doors and worked them over. They couldn’t get out!” “He turned the lights off and everything. He may look like a gentle old man but Reg showed himself to be a real sicko” The chaotic scenes were reported to have continued until local police arrived on the scene, one whole hour and a half later, to find three men in their late teens and early twenties, unconscious and bleeding profusely from multiple facial lacerations on Mr Flynn’s front lawn. Police say no charges have been laid yet, as they are still working to piece together the unusual turn of events. AAP cameras were able to snap images of Flynn’s bruised knuckles as he made way out of the police station yesterday morning, but when questioned by local media about how he had incurred such recent injuries, he stated that he had cut his hands fixing up his roof gutters a couple of weeks ago. Mr Flynn’s hands, photographed as he left the Taree police station PHOTO: AAP The Advocate was able to contact Reg’s estranged wife, Marie, about the matter. Mrs Flynn stated on the record that: “[Reg] towelled those druggie fwits for two whole hours. He wiped the floor with the lot of them” However, Reg has provided a different account in the official police report. “I was watching some old Wheel Of Fortune shows on the telly when I heard someone out the front. They were making their way up the stairs and into my house. I must have given them a fright because all three fell down the stairs and knocked themselves out.” Reg, a junior rugby league coach and former prize fighter, still works as a bouncer at a local hotel One thing that old Reg wasn’t able to explain was how the three men were able to knock themselves unconscious and land ten metres away with such severe injuries. Witnesses claim it looked as though their bodies had been dragged down the front steps. This statement also counteracts statements made by neighbours: “I saw old Reg run to his front door and lock it after seeing someone sneaking in the back side. I heard him cry “Let’s dance, pretty boy!” and the house erupted,” However, as cruel as the alleged “beat down” was, the greater Taree community have rallied behind Mr Flynn. “I just took one look at the poor blokes and patted ol’ Reg on the back. He had punched holes through them. Not so tough now are they!” Despite his age, Mr Flynn still holds several records in six divisions for boxing in North-NSW, which makes him the number one suspect for this grotesque assault. The fact that he still works as a security guard at the local Taree nightspot “Foths” (The Fotheringham Hotel) was not lost on the detectives either However, until the three hospitalised men are able to make a statement, no further inroads can be made in the case. Many local community members have rallied around Reg, claiming that he is a hero and should be treated as one.
thenodrog Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 Christopher Lee................ Don't worry I suspect he'll be back.

An example MUST be made, he asked him for his phone got god's sake. Nail him through the courts. Cue lots of local comment ..... "I don't understand why he did this. He's a good boy from a wery good family he always helps elderly neighbours, attends mosque every day and is a very good muslim."

Unfortunately for the citizens of this country if it were here he'd be looking at a long stretch. Two contradictory cases which outline how much of an ass the UK law can be. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2729113/I-m-worried-I-kill-Farmer-Tony-Martin-shot-burglar-dead-remote-cottage-1999-says-won-t-return-home-case-history-repeats-itself.html Seems you can be a victim of violence in your own home but you cannot administer it. Tony Martin should have had a medal for his public spirited act and if he'd got the other gypsy scroat Fearon between the eyes too instead of the leg he should have had a knighthood.

dave birch Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I think the Reg story may be a hoax It would seem so. Check out www.betootaadvocate.com . A bit of a pisstake on things general, but particularly Australian.

Backroom Tom Posted June 14, 2015 Backroom Posted June 14, 2015 Just back from holiday, what the hell is going on in Rishton? Post office robbed again a week or so back with the owner being held hostage. Apparently nobody saw anything of use but this was 17:30 on a Friday on the main drag through Rishton, very odd. Also came home to sad news that a good bloke from Rishton doing volunteering for a while out in Laos has passed away out there after a Mosquito bite
Audax Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 What a tragedy, a mosquito bite? The Hmong come from Laos, hill tribe. I know Laos is regarded as poor. Some very lovely scenery too. In Laos, women's rugby flourishes on unsuitable groundhttp://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/06/07/uk-games-sea-rugby-laos-idUKKBN0ON03K20150607
