	3:12pm worldsworstrecords: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:11 Entwhistle's bass on that is astounding
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ worldsworstrecords @3:12 That man could be a total beast on the bass <3
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "High Speed Shutter" by "The London Studio Group" This one comes pretty close to the music on the "Casino Royale" soundtrack - my personal fave David Niven film :-)
	3:16pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:12 Hi Georgy. I'm moved in to the cottage, it's day three andI'm still battling the endless boxes. Got the internut installed, so that's the main thing.

	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Niven that distinct admixture of class & lack of pretension ? A comedic actor, after all I suppose... Interesting how the Goons were a reaction to their experience of the War - down to the name. The deranged Colonel sort of trope throughout the Humour Anglais as we've known & adored it...
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, this music is fabulous, isn't it? :-)
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:20 He was that wonderful combination of utterly down to earth and yet also very cultured, like you say. A lovely man <3
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Imagine doing all of this at just 18?? That blows my mind.
	3:22pm Aitch: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:22 Very english...
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:20 The archetypical Colonel Blimp ;-)
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Aitch @3:22 Lol! Very much so ;-)
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Niven was also a man who had a tremendous amount of heartbreak in his life and yet maintained a dignified stoicism <3
	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah reading his wigkey page - he actually quit Service in 1933 - went to Hollywood - re-enlisted for WWII...
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:25 I want to say that he was decorated? Am I misremembering that?
	3:26pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:17 Exhausted but happy it's finally done.
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:26 Consider yourself gently hugged then with a nice cup of tea administered :-)
	3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & oh yes - Saint David's Day. & me a David with no leak to wear...
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love the use of "mauve" ;-)
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:27 Ah! A David listening to a David on the Day of David! Perfect! :-)
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: In fact TWO Davids in the room :-) We just need David in London for a trifecta ;-)
	3:33pm Stanley: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:26 :)
	3:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:33 <3
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Re his funeral : ...' Biographer Graham Lord wrote, "the biggest wreath, worthy of a Mafia Godfather's funeral, was delivered from the porters at London's Heathrow Airport, along with a card that read: 'To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a porter feel like a king.'" '...
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:33 Oh how lovely!!! What a wonderful legacy to leave behind - true kindness <3
	3:34pm David-menic: The music is very Ninevesque
	3:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David-menic @3:34 I love the name change ;-)
	3:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David-menic @3:34 How was the pizza? :-)
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: HUGE apologies to any Scottish people listening. Lol
	3:36pm David-menic: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:35 Italians have vowed to loath pineapple pizza for all eternity. LOL
	3:36pm Stanley: GG - was that a Scottish accent, I hear?
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I was channelling my best Lewis Capaldi ;-)
	3:37pm Stanley: Nae bad, hen.
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David-menic @3:36 Lol! You could have thrown it over the ocean to me - I'd have helped you out ;-)
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:36 I think it may have required quotes ;-) "Scottish" accent. Lol
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Stanley @3:37 Oh, bless you :-) x
	3:38pm Aitch: ock aye
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Aitch @3:38 LOL!
	3:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I like to think that I committed to that accent ;-)
	3:42pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:40 I ken ye, lass!
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:42 I shall serve haggis later with neeps ;-) Lol
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' The day after Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, Niven returned home and rejoined the British Army. He was alone among British stars in Hollywood in doing so; the British Embassy advised most actors to stay '...
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:43 Very brave man then!! Goodness me!
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The day after. Before the U.S. was in it too...
	3:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:45 Where was he stationed?
	3:47pm Aitch: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:38 High time for the swagger-cane to make a comeback I say in my best Vince Noir voice.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:45 He chose to be in the Commandos. Special Forces : en.wikipedia.org...
	3:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Aitch @3:47 That's something I could imagine The Barman having ;-)
	3:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:47 WOW! He really was a jolly brave man <3
	3:52pm Mike Rogers: Hi DJ GG san!
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mike Rogers @3:52 Hello, lovely! :-)
