As for the Equalizer, I challenge anyone to find a pic of a man looking natural, wearing a double-cuffed shirt and suit with a watch chain in the breast pocket, while firing an Uzi - even if with an excessively bladed stance and elbows too high.




27 seconds in (cream OD, big collar). The 9-10-year old me wanted to be him. Replaced Doctor Who.

Leave G alone. He's got the vibe.

To be precise, I think it's a mini-uzi, and the closed-bolt version. Where is J Libourel when you need him?

There's some confusion to where he was born. Both Leeds and Connemara are named. We'll claim him though...!!!

No one mentioned my hero, Peter Cook;

2David Frost rang Peter Cook up some years ago. "Peter, I'm having a little dinner party on behalf of Prince Andrew and his new bride-to-be Sarah Ferguson. I know they'd love to meet you, big fans; Be super if you could make it: Wednesday the twelfth." "Hang on... I'll just check my diary." Pause and rummaging and leafing through diary noises. And then Peter said "Oh dear. I find I'm watching television that night." "

Now that, is style....

Cook hated Frost with a passion. Saved him from drowning and forever regretted it.
