On this day in 1981 No 33 UK Album Chart UB40 with their first album “Signing Off” IMHO an absolutely perfect debut album which I still think was their best. A very difficult choice but I’ll choose “Food For Thought” how about you? #1980s #UB40 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

On this day in 1984 No 76 UK Album Chart Big Country with their debut album “The Crossing” still there in the charts having being released July ‘83. IMHO a magnificent album and I’ll choose “Fields Of Fire” how about you? #1980s #BigCountry @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

Quentin Tarantino wrote Butch in Pulp Fiction for Matt Dillon, but Dillon was unsure about the part. Tarantino needed another big-name actor alongside Harvey Keitel to get the film financed. Luckily, he was able to cast Bruce Willis in the role, he explains how.
“We weren’t going out to Bruce Willis. Especially at that time, he was one of the top five, maybe even top three biggest stars in the world - He was definitely popular in America, but you go to Korea or somewhere like that - he was the man.
What happened was, I originally wrote the part for Matt Dillon, because Matt Dillon was a fan of my script for Reservoir Dogs.
The deal with Miramax was that we had an ensemble cast, but we needed at least one, if not two, Miramax-approved actors. After that, I could cast anybody I wanted, as long as there was somebody they considered a name that they could sell.
Matt Dillon fell into the category of names they would accept. So I wrote it for Matt, and it seemed like getting him would be easy. But he read it and he wasn’t so sure. He liked it, but he was disturbed by the fact that you never actually see Butch boxing.
He said, “I want to see the fight.”
And maybe he didn’t one hundred percent get it. Also, he didn’t want to play that part. He wanted to play Vincent - that happened a lot. Any time I offered somebody a part, they wanted to play somebody else.
So Matt didn’t say no, but he didn’t say yes. He still had to think about it. That was a little scary, because I thought I had him in the bag. With him, I had a go movie. Then all of a sudden, I didn’t have such a go movie anymore.
Harvey Keitel, who's in the movie - he was one of the guys - so I had him.
He was he was shooting in town. When he was shooting in town, he'd usually rent a house in Malibu. And so he would invite friends to come over for the weekend and hang out. And so I came over and I'm hanging out at Harvey's place.
And then, well, it turns out that Bruce Willis was only living about three or four or five houses down the way. OK. And so I come over to Harvey's - and there's Bruce Willis. (1/2)

@SJ4TT @henrysaye 12-13 I reckon. Leaves Bolton needing 21-22 from 10
Maybe a couple more - depending on Bolton and Bradford. One thing is for sure. 22 does it ! And on our average points so far we would get 20-21. 😉

Disgusting... and what these morons will never understand is that they're only free to do this in Britain because Churchill saved us from the Nazis.

@henrysaye As I’ve said before, I’m happy with Jan window, coz we’ll need much more in the summer. These boys have done well, BBM has rotated well, they will see it thro and be better players for it.
That said, as much as I like him, Tanner looked whacked from 70 min on.
Salech is needed

@sciencegirl I’ve never been to Kazakhstan, but my stomach is currently checking flight prices for a Samsa.

@henrysaye Love that analogy Henners!
I’m of the belief that the less we spend this window, will be beneficial to us in the summer window for the Championship. We should really have enough to get us over the line. The young players really need promotion and will benefit most
