MANY YEARS AGO, I WAS GAZING HALF HEARTEDLY AT THE VACANCIES IN RICHMOND JOB CENTRE WHEN AN ADVERT CAUGHT MY EYE:WANTED: ATHLETIC PEOPLE WITH BEARDS TO UNDERTAKE FILM EXTRA WORK
I WAS NEITHER ATHLETIC, NOR DID I HAVE A BEARD - BUT THAT WASN'T GOING TO STOP ME IN MY QUEST FOR FAME.
FOR FOUR DAYS, I LIVED THE DREAM. WORKING AS AN EXTRA ON ROBIN HOOD, PRINCE OF THIEVES. I DRAGGED MORGAN FREEMAN OFF HIS HORSE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A SCENE THAT WAS SADLY LEFT ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR. WHAT DID I LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE? MORGAN FREEMAN IS A GENT - CHRISTIAN SLATER IS ALSO DESERVING OF A FOUR LETTER DESCRIPTION - BUT, GENT IS NOT IT.
HAMMERTIME WENT OUT TO THE FOLLOWING FINE ALE HOUSES: (FORTUNATELY CHRISTIAN SLATER WON'T BE AT ANY OF THEM)
THE OLD WELL, BARNARD CASTLE
THE QUAKERHOUSE, DARLINGTON
THE WHITE SWAN, GILLING WEST
NORTHALLERTON BEER FESTIVAL
THE STANWICK, ALDBROUGH ST JOHN
GLAXO SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB, BARNARD CASTLE
WENSLEYDALE RAILWAY
THE FOUR ALLS, OVINGTON
DOG AGILITY EVENT, LUCKY DOGS!
ENJOY!
