Viejos Pins (72)
Tumblr media
1946/56.
Segunda entrega de pins de clubes catalanes que oficiaron ya como filiales del Barcelona gracias al estupendo material alojado en la web partidaria Pins Penyes.
En 1965 nace el Atlètic Catalunya, sucesor del Fabra i Coats, tras estrechar lazos con el Barcelona. El equipo cambió el uniforme por uno azul-grana, con las franjas más estrechas que las del Barça y pantalón azul. El Condal cambió también su uniforme, vistiendo de azul-grana entre 1968 y 1970.
Tras la Guerra Civil el FC Barcelona firmó un convenio de filiación con el equipo de la empresa textil L'Espanya Industrial, situada en el barrio barcelonés de Hostafrancs.
Gracias a ese acuerdo el equipo fabril pasó a nutrirse de los jugadores que no tenían cabida en la primera plantilla barcelonista, esencialmente sus jóvenes promesas.
En 1953 la Sección Deportiva La España Industrial logró el ascenso a Primera División, cambiando su nombre a Club Esportiu Comtal e interrumpiendo su filiación con el FC Barcelona. Después de un único año en la máxima categoría, el CD Condal (CD CONDAL) reanudó su filiación con el FC Barcelona, ​​jugando durante 15 años a caballo entre Segunda y Tercera División.

Movie Musical Divas Tournament: FINALE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It all comes down to this. The final round of our Movie Musical Divas tournament includes singer-songwriter, philanthropist, country music queen Dolly Parton, and actress, author, movie musical legend Dame Julie Andrews.
Primarily known for her music career, Dolly Parton nevertheless starred in a select few movie musicals, most notably the fine upstanding brothel owner Miss Mona in the film adaptation of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Conversely, Julie Andrews began her illustrious film career with her Oscar-winning performance as Mary Poppins, the titular character in the film adaptation of P.L. Travers's popular book, and continued starring in well-known musicals like The Sound of Music, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Victor/Victoria throughout her career.
After weeks of impassioned voting, it's time to crown the Queen of Movie Musicals once and for all. And once again, reminder: this is a movie musical-specific tournament. Thank you.
Julie Andrews (1935- ): Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins (1964) | Maria in The Sound of Music (1965) | Victoria Grant in Victor/Victoria (1982) | Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) Additional musical/singing roles include: Cinderella (1957), Star! (1968), Darling Lili (1970),
"The QUEEN of the movie musical. Started in so many long lasting favorites. Dressed in drag in Victor/Victoria, thanked the casting director of My Fair Lady in her Oscar Acceptance speech for snubbing her for the role so that she could win an Oscar instead. The voice of so many people’s childhoods and genuinely such an amazing person. Look up the story about her Tony nomination!" - @kingscatt
Dolly Parton (1946- ): The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) Miss Mona | The Best Little Special in Texas (1982) | Rhinestone (1984) Jake Farris Additional musical/singing roles include: n/a
"Just look at her." - anonymous
This is Round 7 (finals) of the Movie Musical Divas tournament. Add your propaganda and support by reblogging this post.

something i think more people need to remember about tf2's lore is that it takes place in 1972. Scout is twenty seven years old and the youngest of eight kids. that means he was born in 1945.
if we're assuming scout's mother had a child every other year, counting back, that's 1943, 1941, 1939, 1937, 1935, 1933, 1931 respectively. we know they live in the usa, specifically boston, which is important for state rights.
scout's ma raised eight boys in an era where she could not/did not have the right to:
- work more then a certain amount of hours (pay was cut at the same time) [1912]
-smoke in a public building [1908]
-vote under her birth name, only husband [1945, was repelled later]
-serve on a jury [the first state to allow this was NC in 1946, followed by texas in 1955]
-work at a bar unless her father or husband owned it [1948]
-serve in the army unless under specific restrictions (navy & airforce is a no no, can only be a certain rank) [also 1948]
-receive equal pay and benefits for any jobs [this was changed in 1963]
-protection from discrimination in the workforce [this was added in 1964]
-receive an abortion [rape exceptions in 3 states, slowly spread to others]
-work as a horse jockey [1967]
-have equal property rights to their husbands [the first state to allow this was texas in 1968]
-work as a news reporter [the first female reporters were in 1970]
and other issues that i didnt feel like researching.
spy knew all of this and left her to rot, raising eight boys all on her own. as far as we know he did not send child support and alice (fan name for scout's ma) never married.
spy had more then enough money to help them but chose not to. he also slept with loads of other people (a voiceline confirms he had orgies lmao) and never really made any effort to talk to her or see her.
do you think he looks at scout and feels any sort of shame? seeing how hard he works to send money back home for his mom? hearing scout insist that tom jones is his father, because the topic is so painful he can't stand to think about it? or do you think he doesn't give a shit?
ngl i got lazy but heres the wiki link i used

The Scottish actor David McCallum was born on 19th September 1933.
Born as David Keith McCallum, Jr in Maryhill, Glasgow, the second of two sons of Dorothy Dorman, a cellist, and orchestral violinist David McCallum Sr. When he was three, his family moved to London for his father to play as concertmaster in the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Early in the Second World War, he was evacuated back to Scotland, where he lived with his mother at Gartocharn by Loch Lomond.
McCallum won a scholarship to University College School, a boys’ independent school in Hampstead, London, where, encouraged by his parents to prepare for a career in music, he played the oboe.In 1946 he began doing boy voices for the BBC radio repertory company. Also involved in local amateur drama, at age 17, he appeared as Oberon in an open-air production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Play and Pageant Union. He left school at age 18 and was conscripted, joining the 3rd Battalion the Middlesex Regiment, which was seconded to the Royal West African Frontier Force.In March 1954 he was promoted to Lieutenant. After leaving the army he attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (also in London), where Joan Collins was a classmate.
David McCallum’s acting career has spanned six decades; however, these days he is best known for his starring role on the police procedural NCIS as medical examiner as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard. I first really remember McCallum for his role in another US show, The Invisible Man which ran for 13 episodes in the 70’s. McCallum by then was a veteran of many TV and Film roles, starting in the 50’s including Our Mutual Friend and The Eustace Diamonds, in the 60’s he was in several ITV Playhouse shows before moving across the Atlantic to take roles in The Outer Limits and his big break as Illya Kuryakin in several incantations of The Man from Uncle.
His most notable films were The Greatest Story Ever Told as Judas Iscariot and of course Ashley-Pitt ‘Dispersal’ in The Great Escape.
As well as the aforementioned Invisible Man in the 70’s he took time to pop back over to our shores to star in two quality series, as Flt. Lt. Simon Carter in Colditz and Alan Breck Stewart in an adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson’s, Kidnapped.
The 80’s saw him team up with the lovely Joanna Lumley in Sapphire & Steel and several guest roles in the likes of The A Team, Hart to Hart and Murder, She Wrote as well as a one off reprise of Illya in the TV movie The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair.
The 90’s saw David in Cluedo and Trainer on our TV screens over here and American science-fiction series VR-5 in the states..
During the last 20 years or so he has been in the kids TV show, Ben 10: Omniverse as the voice of Professor Paradox and of course Donald Horatio “Ducky” Mallard in a remarkable  436 episodes of the popular NCIS.
David has been married twice. He married his first wife Jill Ireland in 1957. They met on the set of the movie Hell Drivers. Together, they had two sons and a daughter, Paul, Jason and Valentine, with Jason being the only one who was adopted. In 1963, David introduced Jill to his co-star on The Great Escape, Charles Bronson, and she left David and married Charles in 1968. In 1967,
David McCallum passed away aged 90 on September 23rd last year, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, Katherine McCallum, his sons Paul McCallum, Valentine McCallum and Peter McCallum, his daughter Sophie McCallum and his eight grandchildren. NCIS paid tribute to him in an episode called The Stories We Leave Behind when the tagents find comfort in working on one of his unfinished cases. The episode features clips from several old shows.

On this day, 22 July 1946, actor and activist Danny Glover was born. The son of two postal workers who were also activists in the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, Glover took part in the longest student strike in US history in 1968. As a student at San Francisco State University, Glover took part in the successful strike of the Black Students Union and Third World Liberation Front demanding the creation of a School of Ethnic Studies. He worked in the Black Panthers free breakfast for children programme and helped them organise their newspaper. He later lived in a commune for a year, fought against the Vietnam war and colonialism in Africa and more recently has supported migrant workers, the occupy movement and Black Lives Matter. In 2004, in an interview with AARP magazine, he explained how he remains optimistic: 'I try to find hope in struggle and resistance in small places as much as I can. The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist.' You can learn more about the Black Panthers in these books by former members: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/black-panthers Pictured: Glover supporting Nissan workers' organising in Mississippi https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=666208148885737&set=a.602588028581083&type=3
