I nicked this icon of snapesbabe awhileback, but it seems particularly apposite now, Urquhart is dead:

Actor Ian Richardson, best known for his role as scheming chief whip Francis Urquhart in the BBC's House of Cards, has died suddenly at the age of 72.

Via Rob at libdemvoice_fd. I loved that show when it was on, and I even bought the books (which, despite the authors politics, were rather good). I guess we'll get a repeat run now then? May be worth investigating plugging a TV in if there is.

In completely unrelated memeage, Rum and Monkey think I'm 63% similar to faeriecween, it looks, as usual for one of their things, to actually be a rather good little meme thing.

I'm an apparently intelligent, liberal, not-too-generous, not-too-selfish, relatively well adjusted human being!
See how compatible you are with me!

Also? Empire Magazine has trailers for Hot Fuzz, the new Simon Pegg et al movie, which does look rather nice.

It does indeed look rather cool. :o)
I'm 88% compatible with you- how does that work?

See, window to the soul these tests, window to the soul.

I appear to be 90% compatible. I can't quite work out how I feel about that... I put it down to similar wet-Liberal politics!

And it was sad to hear about Urquhart Ian Richardson; though according to Radio 4, he hated the character of Urquhart!

[matgb]

Well, you're top so far of similar; if it was in any way a serious set of questions I'd be a little worried. Still, I now know your actual name without ever getting around to asking...

I read a quote somewhere today that while he disliked the associations, he did like that the line was now used in the House a bit; creating a Commons tradition normally takes a bit more effort...

I also found out earlier that he played Death in Hogfather, even ore freaky as I nearly used that icon instead.

Strangely, I am much more concerned about RL people finding my username than LJ people finding my real name - a lot of my f-list know my real name.

Scary thing? I looked up the emails I got from others that did it; 6 people on my friends list gave their email, they all got 85% or better</>. One person I've never met got 90%.

See, differences.

boring spod... Tee hee ;-)
