LOL. We talked that up. I got the start time wrong by an hour. I was trundling along at 7.30 when the phone rang . Had to drive my poor little VW like Sebastien Loeb around the tiny country roads. Luckily the whole crew had been drinking till 3am because it was the last night so they were all late anyway.
Very unprofessional all round. Lucky I was working for myself or I could have got sacked. :lol:

Vinnie didn't give me a bottle of vintage port the fucking cheapskate.
I used some of my best dog killed venison on him as well.
He did drive over to us as he left in his custom shooting Landrover and shout ''cheers for all the great food'' out of the window.
That's as near to a man hug as you'll ever get off him.
He never ate with the rest of the crew and he only really talked to his driver, the leading actor and occasionally me.
The best guy on this one was the ex boxer from Dublin called Joe.Huge man who looked and talked like a pikey but was really polite. He was Mike Tyson's sparring partner for 2 years. A real gentle giant, always telling bad jokes and keeping the other actors entertained while they hung around for hours waiting for their turn to get killed.
I had to ask him as I was saying goodbye...
''what was it like to get hit by Mike Tyson?''
He looked me in the eye and was serious for the first time in 4 weeks.
''painful''
:lol:

Are you really in your 50s Monte? I just picked up on that fact when you said you read the James Bond books 40 years ago. Goddamn I thought you were maybe 5 or 10 years older than me.

holy shit. I never got into punk rock. I like some of the rock that came out of England after that time like the Smiths though. One of my favorite bands.

My first ever gig was The Stranglers in 1979.

There should be a thread for this.
First single, first LP and first live gig.
