The first one was done in 1946 and the popularity of the film led to a resurgence in his career. The second one was released shortly before his death in 1950.
He really was a super star - from Vaudeville, early movies (he did star in the very first "real" talking film)

He comes across as such a top top bloke.
He realises he was incredibly lucky to have the career he's had, knows he was never going to be the best actor in the world, has come through several life-threatening illnesses, and now, in his 80s, still travels the world raising millions of pounds for charity.
I'd love to meet him, and just tell him what a wonderful human being he is.

Sorry TJ. Just have to repeat what I heard from this Amerkin woman in the supermarket yesterday. Nothing like an idiot to affirm the stereotype.
Picture the scene snotty septic lady in her 50's looking with scorn in the middle of the fruit and veg aisle. She turns to suffering companion as says with acid dispisal
'What is this stuff you Brits eat? Green stuff. That's what you Brits eat!'
Now I have to point out that the English people in M&S were being very English and not saying anything in an extremely pointed way but I'm not really what you could call the silent type.
So I had to interject, 'If it's so terrible here why don't you fuck off home.' I even got a couple of very middle class 'here heres' out of some shoppers.

you should only have an issue with z-indexes if you're floating something over a flash movie or a form element

div - middle layer div
div - position relative, float right (otherwise empty)
div - position absolute, contains whatever you want in the top layer
slashdiv
slashdiv
slashdiv
by using an empty relative-positioned div as a wrapper for an absolute-positioned div you can put it wherever you like. use "top" and "left" css on the absolute-positioned div to move it around more if you want to

Snails routinely get into postboxes, where they promtply tuck into and munch the glue'y part of envelopes. The used to do the same to the lick and stick stamps, but since they have mostly been replaced with the plastic sticker-type ones this has stopped

that as a kid, he'd found some snails he couldn't identify, so he posted them all to the Natural History Museum in an envelope, whereupon they promptly ate the contents of the letterbox he'd posted them in
I found out later that all dads did this when they were kids, and if they didn't, they knew someone who did - in fact, everyone knows someone who did this - how strange. It's almost like someone had made it up or something.

My dad's a biologist, so the one about sheep that live on hills having shorter legs on one side meaning that they can only go 'round the hill one way and when they get to the top roll to the bottom again is absolutely true.

Also this is a totally unrelated but amazing quote:
I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am
a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff
like actually talking to people and living real life.
—Kanye West, promoting his book “Thank You and You’re Welcome.”

Oh yes, Kanye: because it's either/or, isn't it.People who read books never do stuff, talk to people, or live real lives.
*sigh*
It's a false syllogism. But you wouldn't know that unless you had a logician in your posse, or read a book or two!
I believe Kanye's approach can 'work' for rich & powerful geniuses. They just say to a lackey "get me a logician in my posse, stat!". There's some quote from a UK PM (Wilson?) along the lines that books are a waste of time, as he preferred to "just have a 30-minute conversation with the person who wrote it".
