There isn't anyone more important than westgrand. Who else would keep us as well informed as he does about all those birthdays!
And.......I want to know who's going to see Eddy & Patsy?
Happy Birthday WGB! I almost missed it, but it's still the 2nd here in California! You are awesome WGB, Soulful Detroit wouldn't be the same without you. You the man.
"Thank you!", theboyfromxtown, moe and sophisticated_soul, for your very kind comments and good wishes.
Not so much time during the last few days, so the Birthday information has been just 'bare bones' lists of names. I must try harder!
Moe, not sure if I'll get to a cinema to see Eddy and Patsy in AbFab The Movie, but will catch it on DVD later.....
Let us know if you catch it yourself! The reviews seem to rate it 'OK', if not great, but there still seems to be some good fun in it....

Speaking of great ladies in comedy, a quiet tribute to Caroline Aherne [['Mrs Merton'; 'The Royle Family'), who passed away yesterday, much too young. She will be remembered on her birthday, Christmas Eve.
Caroline's life seemed to be a constant battle against physical ill health and other troubles, which made her very vulnerable, but a lovely and very talented lady, whose skills with human observation and sly humour made so many people laugh.
Was she known at all in the US?
No, westgrand, not that I could tell.
That's a shame, Moe. If you have a minute sometime, check out 'The Royle Family : The Queen Of Sheba', as an example of her work.
It was written by Caroline, together with Craig Cash - who respectively also play Denise [[who has to be the most flaky of daughters ever born) and Dave, her husband.
In the manner of 'Mrs Brown's Boys' [[which came along later), and not played for laughs to a studio audience, it is an earthy depiction of maybe the last family you would ever want to know very well..but can also be poignant and unexpectedly moving......

All the best westgrand. You make Soulful Detroit a better place.
Thank you Ralph. Just being one of the many who contribute to Soulful Detroit certainly puts me in a better place, and in more ways than just one.

Thank you, Arr&bee, but let's not talk right now about that 'special dish' of Grady's.
I'm sure we'll be bringing it up again, very soon....
Gives "Dinner's coming up!" a more literal interpretation?

Tab Hunter is 85 years old! Yikes! I am really getting old - but not as old as Tab! Tab looks great at 85 and is currently in the news for the critically acclaimed documentary "Tab Hunter Confidential". Happy Birthday Tab Cacciatore!
'The Sigh Guy' - Tab Hunter [[so much better a name than Arthur Kelm!)
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to Sigh Guy [[Sigh Guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of Sigh Guy [[Sigh Guy)
Then Sigh Guy will just have to do, until the Real Thing comes along.....
I'm old enough to remember Tab Hunter
I'm old enough to know better, but I still act the way I do.
You'll probably still be that way when EVERYBODY is younger than you.
The UK's oldest woman, Gladys Hooper [[from the Isle of Wight, a few miles offshore from here) died at the weekend, aged 113 years.
When it happens to you, I hope you're with someone like Tab Hunter at the time.
What a way to go.......
Didn't work out so well for Methuselah
"Methuselah lived nine hundred years
I said Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Who calls that living
When no gal will give in to no man
That's nine hundred years"
But I thought YOU were always the one to give in?!
Extreme age should be no barrier for you.....
Oh, I NEVER make the first move!
Wearing a T-shirt bearing the message "Help Yourself!!" on both the front and back, I hardly think you'd need to make any move at all....
It's called MANipulation.
I'd call it clever selling.
50% what you've got; and 50% what they think you've got....
