[smudge]

Hi Neti - only popped in for a few min's, as have daughter & girls staying with us at the mo' - long story. Thank you for asking after us. Take care of you & yours. -xx-

[smudge]

Sorry to hear you have problems with your son Dris. Hope it's nothing too serious. We've had our fair share with our eldest daughter, so hoping for a brighter future..... -x-

Oh God I just read this !!! I have been at work all day and missed the news, blimey makes you feel old eh when your heros start to go!!! I went to the pics to watch Butch cassidy 3 times in the first week of release. He had lots of kids didnlt he with Joanne Woodward, what a shame, the last thing I saw him in was Road to perdition I think. It is sad, he was an icon really.

is Paul Newman the one that ate all the eggs in the film Cool Hand Luke?

[Jugglering]

Sure was Maizy ! He also starred in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (with Robert Redford) and both of them were in The Sting.... He also got his Oscar in The Colour of Money... flipping brilliant films, all of them...

[Drisgirl]

Just back -well on this planet lol

His daughter has just been speaking about her dad on the news and they obviously were a very close family -yet she was so positive -think it helps a wee bit when you have the 'luxury' (term used loosely) of spending the last months with a very loved family man.

Im not a film buff (obviously) but I loved all his work -all the films mentioned I watched and thoroughly enjoyed.

Its very sad
