  • "he took modesty to the level of a martial art"

    like father like son :)

  • To think, his Dad has an Olympic medal in rowing which, if anyone has tried it, is sheer pain, control and determination from start to finish, and he kept it in a sock!! And then became a doctor in his 40s! You really don't get them like that anymore.

    We may have better equality, technology etc but I think we've lost that respect, modesty & human decency. Everyone is so greedy and money-hungry. Theiving politicians, over-paid premadonna footballers, illegal wars...what next. Geez...

  • Love the cheeky Hamlet reference.

  • @crapcake813 And for me it's strange hearing him WITH the American accent

  • Its weird not hearing him in a American accent.

  • holy sit how long ago was this?! he looks so young here!!!

  • I fuckin love this guy! Watch him all the time on house!!! Another British icon!

  • @cbuck33 I suppose you are right in that the glory days of empire were long gone but there was still a large British presence in the traditional areas of empire going into the mid seventies when the money totally ran out. Even today it could be argued that one of the reasons for us being in afghanistan and Iraq today go back to our colonial past and its aftermath. During the fifties and sixties the predominant areas of British were mostly in the middle east and africa.

  • DrJode

  • Built empires....? That time was long gone before the previous generation...no need for false nostalgia.

  • @deshy88umkc

  • Can somebody tell me if the folks in the United Kingdom are able to watch the show "House" there? It's a damn good show.
