He wrote Vintage Stuff
Of
Riotous Assembly
And
Indecent Exposure
He
liked his Porterhouse Blue
In

And
was no Blott on the landscape
Nor
was he The Throwback
With
Ancestral Vices
And
in the end, he didn’t die
It
was just a simple case of Wilt
I remember like yesterday
That cold and crispy morn
And just how proud I felt
On the day my son was born
They’re putting on activities
For those whose lives need enhancing
Well, I’m hard of hearing
And of the activities they are advancing
Budgie jumping, parrot shooting
And hen gliding
Might be worth chancing
But no way am I going to have a go
“The Jackal” is a crime drama, screenplay by Kenneth Ross loosely based on the novel by Frederick Forsyth and Directed by Michael Caton-Jones.
The action starts in Moscow, where the FBI and their Russian counterparts,
the MVD, are working on a joint mission to apprehend Russian mobster Ghazzi
Murad (Ravil Isyanov) for murder, but he is killed in the process.
In retaliation Ghazzi's brother, Terek (David Hayman) hires an assassin by
the code name Jackal (Bruce Willis) to carry out a hit on a high profile
American target.
Initial intelligence points to that target being Donald Brown (John
Cunningham), the Director of the FBI.
The Jackal is known only by name and reputation, no one in authority
knows who he is or what he looks like, some are not sure he even exists, FBI
Deputy Director Preston (Sidney Poitier) learns of only one person alive who
they know has had ties to the Jackal: former Basque separatist Isabella
Zanconia (Mathilda May) , but her whereabouts are unknown, so Preston, MVD
officer Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) turn to the only person who might lead
them to her, former IRA gunman Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), but first they
need to get him out of Federal Prison.
It’s a great intelligent thriller rather than an all
action thrill fest, Willis portrays the perfect cold-blooded assassin, if I have
one criticism it would be Richard Gere’s dodgy Irish accent, but it’s still a
great thriller.
Would anyone know was Rip Torn?
Did
anyone else see Oliver Bourne?
Does
anyone know is George Nigh?
You
should have seen Kevin Tighe?
Taffy was a Welshman
He came from Porthcawl
I think if he were from Cardiff
He’d hardly be Welsh at all
“Taffy was a Welshman was an actual nursery rhyme
Popularised in the 18th Century, so don’t blame me”
Are you wearing a petticoat?
Are they even still in vogue?
That’s delightful apparel
For a lascivious old rogue
