The Buzz / Acting legend Dame Maggie Smith dies at 89
« Last post by Simon on September 27, 2024, 17:57 »
Actress Dame Maggie Smith, known for the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey, has died at the age of 89, her family has said.

A legend of British stage and screen, she won two Oscars during her career - for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in 1970 and California Suite in 1979.

She had four other nominations, and received seven Bafta awards.

Leading the tributes, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Dame Maggie "was beloved by so many for her great talent, becoming a true national treasure whose work will be cherished for generations to come".

In the Harry Potter films, Dame Maggie played the acerbic Professor Minerva McGonagall, famous for her pointed witch's hat and stern manner with the young wizards at Hogwarts.

In hit ITV drama Downton Abbey, she played Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, the grand matriarch who excelled at withering one-liners through the show's six series.

A very cranky old woman was arrested for shoplifting at a grocery store.

She gave everyone a hard time, from the store manager to the security guard to the arresting officer who took her away.

She complained and criticized everything and everyone throughout the process.

When she appeared before the judge, the judge asked her what she had stolen from the store.

 The lady defiantly replied, "Just a stupid can of peaches."

 The judge then asked why she had done it.

 She replied, "I was hungry and forgot to bring any cash to the store."

 The judge asked how many peaches were in the can. 

 She replied in a nasty tone, "Nine! But why do you care about that?"

 The judge answered patiently, "Well, ma'am, because I'm going to give you nine days in jail -- one day for each peach."

 As the judge was about to drop his gavel, the lady's long-suffering husband raised his hand slowly and asked if he might speak.

 The judge said, "Yes sir, what do you have to add?"

 The husband said meekly, "Your Honour, she also stole a can of peas."   ::)

A woman finds a Genie and this was her wish:

I want my husband to only have eyes for me.

I want him to laugh at my mindless jokes with utter disregard to the people around him.

I want to be the only one in his life.

I want him to always sleep by my side.

I want to have his undivided attention.

I want that when he gets up in the morning I'm the 1st thing he reaches for & for him to take me where he goes.

The Genie turned her into a Mobile phone.   :o:

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me trace a family that I knew from Seaton, Devon?

They were fishermen/women and went by the surname of Mr & Mrs Biggens-Lately.

In particular, I am trying to locate their daughter Courtney.

Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks.   :)x
