R-I-P David McCallum

Oh dear.

Was a huge ‘Man From U.N.C.L.E. ‘ fan. Collected all the free cards you got with bubble gum or similar which put together made a big picture of the two stars. They are still in the loft somewhere, wonder if they are valuable?😂

Had ‘Ilya Forever’ in huge felt tip capitals on the inside of my school P.E. case.

So long ago.

[sigh]

He was always my favourite 😍
Just had his 90th birthday.

Aw. I was such an Ilya fan 😢

I can remember being taught French 57 years ago, and the French mistress, who was Very Old (i.e. about 40🫢), wondering why we all giggled when asked to repeat "il y a". When told, she said we were the best pronouncers of "il y a" she'd ever had 😄.
