It was the most moving thing I have every heard. I and every one else in the room hung on his every word and he was every bit as good as his reputation as the best actor the world has ever produced.
I spent a week working side by side with Laurence Olivier. I was a teenager and working on a project for Dave Clark of the DC5 fame called 'Time' with cliff Richard. We had booked Richard Burton to play a holographic God whose face was projected onto a 3D screen but he died so Laurence Olivier was brought in to replace him.
Despite his age he was very spritely and my job was to take care of his every need including keeping his 1/2 pint beer glass constantly stocked with whisky.
His poor eyesight meant he couldn't ready the autocue to do a sound check so he recited some Shakespeare instead. After he finished everyone in the small filming room applauded as it was so moving. it was the most memorable week of my life.
Claim 2
I was once in the comedy store in London when a special guest poked his head round the door. Robin Williams was in town doing some filming and he offered to do a set. There was only about 40 people in the room and it felt like a personal show. He was so funny and went on for nearly 90 minutes. My jaw hurt for a week afterwards.
Claim 3
When I started out working, my friend had a job working for Columbia pictures in London sorting out itinarys for stars who were over here for short visits. I went to meet him for lunch and when I went in his office he was talking with Clint Eastwood. I'd never seem anyone famous before and my jaw dropped to the floor and I couldn't speak. He just said 'hi' to me, spoke for a while to my friend and smiled at me when he left. I felt such a fool to be so star struck.
I hope this helps get your soundcard working properly.
Check you have the latest drivers for your soundcard. Download them from the manufacturers website.
If it's onboard the motherboard do a google search and find out the mother boards specs for and it should tell you which soundcard is embedded. Normally it's an AC97 but this does vary and search for a driver for it on Google.
Got to 'Control Panel' then 'Sounds and Audio Devices' Go through all the drop down boxes (except MIDI) and make sure that your souncard is selected in them all and then click 'Apply'
Go to 'Start', 'All Programs', 'Assessories', 'Entertainment','volume control'
Make sure that all the sliders are at the top and none of the sound types are muted.
If you are having problems with a particular player. ie iTunes is using Quicktime but Explorer (and therefore You Tube) is defaulting to Windows Media Player make Quicktime your default player. Alternatively download Real Player for free and allow it to become your default player. Uopdate your windows media player too.
I'd also advice swaping you browser from explorer to Firefox. It's free and has none of the problems Internet Explorer seems to be plagued by. I'd advice using the free Add ons for Firefox called WOT and Adblock too.
Re slow performance.
If you've cleaned up the PC and it's still running slow. I'd suggest looking at what you have running in the background. Most internet security applications are extremely processor intensive and I might be an idea to swap for something less heavy. There are plenty of good free ones like Comodo, Online Amor or if you're a novice Outpost.
Keep your registry cleaned up and clean out the DNS on a regular basis too.
if you're looking for a good preventative tools to protect from hihacks etc, I suggest Win Patrol. Again it's free, uses little processing power and you can actually see what is running in the background.
I travel around the World a lot and I measure everything by time not distance.. I can be in NYC in 6hrs or LA in 11hrs. Rio is only 12hrs away.
In Europe, Spain and Italy is just 2 1/2 hrs from me
My ex came from Brazil, but at the time I was also seeing girls in South Africa, Romania, Italy and Greece. (not at the same time but over a 2 year period)
Airfares are so low now.. and travel so much fun
Don't turn your nose up at other cultures. I'm more attracted to women from overseas than here, and there's nothing better if you're going on holiday to have someone to meet and show you the culture and lifestyle of the country.
If someone is interesting and exciting, I don't mind spending a few hours on a plane to meet them.
And if we hit it off we can spend time in each country
I had a friend who worked inside a car. She had to hold jellies while wearing a bikini. The car was driven round a track at high speed as the jellies went everywhere.
The result was video'd and then sold ... God knows who to...Who'd want to buy that? Must be a market as she got £400 per day.
Be Careful.. Some of these girls are experts at getting you to part with your cash. They'll tell you what you want to hear.
If they sound too good to be true, they probably are.
Look for undoctored photo's where they don't look like supermodels (even then they've picked up on that ,and are using more normal photo's now). Make sure the profile has more than one photo and there are a few photo's taken in normal locations not studios.
Never go anywhere with them other than a place recommended by the hotel. Under no circumstances give them money. Sometimes they'll ask for presents and before you know it you've blown $1000 in a video camera and when your cash is gone so are they. Flowers are fine, but keep it at that.
Use netmeeting to have an online video chat and see where they are and what they look like. You can activate it by going to Start then Run and typing in 'Conf'
There are some decent girls but for ever one there are 5 scammers. I'd check out a few sites as well and see if they are on there to. I've seen the same girl on 6 sites each time with a different name.
You can also see then in a video using Netmeeting... If she has on a large Kaftan, pill box hat and look like a big hairy guy from Nigeria, do write to her anymore.
