Don`t worry if you are below forty and have never heard of Dinah, one of
the most beautiful women from the Rank "charm school" of the 1950s,
best known for her performances in the classic British movies, "Genevieve,
(about an old car race between London and Brighton) and the kids movie,
"The Railway Children".
She epitomised the well-spoken, high-cheekboned, well-dressed beauties
of 1950s British Cinema, the kind who never took their clothes off but you
knew would be mustard between the sheets. In Dinah`s case she retired
after "Genevieve" to marry John Davis, boss of the huge Rank organization
and probably the most loathed man in the history of Britrish Cinema. She
later confessed that he had S/M tendencies and used to whip her in the
bedroom.
Dinah shared a great line with another stunner, Kay Kendall, in "Genevieve".
Kay confesses her boyfriend thinks only of old cars "and the other thing !"
Dinah replies, wistfully, "Yes, mine just thinks of cars !"

Frank you are indeed the PR man for the Grim Reaper! It almost seems that He pushes notes under your door saying things like, "I took another last night Thring, swiftly pass news of my deed to those on BGAFD for it is they that I stalk and soon their time will come!" G.R.
"DELAY NOT THRING! YOU ARE TOO TARDY WITH POSTING NEWS OF MY DEEDS! ONE A WEEK IS SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH, CAN'T YOU SEE I HAVE A SCHEDULE TO KEEP TO? DO NOT TAX MY PATIENCE FURTHER FRANK THRING OTHERWISE SOON IT WILL BE YOUR DOOR I WILL BE KNOCKING AT!!!" !wink!

Not really Jim, I just love a good obituary, ahh, once a history graduate,
always a history graduate !! It is also, I think, right and proper to recall
people whose lives have been interesting at time of death....If you pop
off on your next exotic holiday....devoured by a crocodile, attacked by man-
eating ants or shagged to death on some beach by the wildsome Lara Latex,
then trust me mate, I will do you a grand obituary on the bgafd - and maybe
even the Daily Mail !!
