Always a great man for a quote

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

This would have been Senna's third win a row if he'd won the two before

With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.

We now have exactly the same situation as we had at the start of the race, only exactly the opposite.

And there's no damage to the car. Except to the car itself.

Unless I am very much mistaken...I AM very much mistaken...!

That's history. I say history because it happened in the past.

The European drivers have adapted to this circuit extremely quickly, especially Paul Radisich who's a New Zealander.

You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing.

I think this is the stand out one, shows a certain humility and self awareness but also the verbal dexterity to recover.

“There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire.”

Sad. Good age all the same. Some great memories of watching races in the late 80's and 90's. Not everyones cup of tea but I too thought a bit of the sport died when he stopped commentating.

Worked in advertising prior to full-time commentary and coined the phrase "A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play".

Irish singer and TV star Carmel Quinn has died aged 95 RIP.

Carmel Quinn, an entertainer whose Irish songs and stories made her a Carnegie Hall staple on St. Patrick’s day for a quarter century, died from pneumonia March 6 at her home in Leonia, N.J. She was 95 and her death was confirmed by her family.

Born and raised in Dublin, Quinn won an audition Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, a star-making vehicle of the 1950s whose alumni included Pat Boone, Tony Bennett and Connie Francis. She later moved to the television show Arthur Godfrey and His Friends, and also appeared on The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Mike Douglas Show and other top variety programs of the day. Much later, she showed up on Live With Regis and Kathie Lee.

Henry Darrow has died at 87: he had an extensive career in movies and TV, but he's probably best known as Manolito in The High Chapparal:

Very sad to hear about Murray

He was a Class Act, and Formula One was the never the same without him

There's a tribute programme for him on Tuesday night on BBC1 (11.15pm NI, 10.45pm England)

It looks like a re-edited version of a show they have broadcast in the past which was very well made and brought back memories

Yaphet Kotto, Parker in Alien, and Dr Kananga in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die has died aged 81.

A seriously talented actor with amazing presence. RIP.

Lieutenant Al Giardello in maybe the greatest ever cop show Homicide Life on the Streets RIP.

Also awesome in my favourite De Niro film Midnight Run.

arcticmonkeys · 16-03-2021 01:22PM

Blue collar is another underrated classic which he starred in for anyone who hasn't seen it, probably Richard Pryors best dramatic performance.
