David Calder

Another great British actor. What can I say - love him in everything.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)

Pre-smoked: Honey Pot King Palm

Smoking: SuckerPunch

So obviously the least favorite of the trilogy. Only because the original Evy isn’t in it. At the very least when they re-casted her they could have made her an English actor and not Maria Bello who had a pretty cruddy accent. No offense to MB but she wasn’t the right fit I feel.

Moving on before I get on this tangent about something not so important. I do like that Jet Li is in this. He is a good actor. I like him a lot in The Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan.

The ever-beautiful Michelle Yeoh is the one who curses JL into the next cursed “Mummy”.

Come to find Alex O’Connell, Luke Ford, digging just like his mom. Looks nothing like the one who played him in the second movie. Doesn’t even have a British accent. But once again, I’ll stop while I’m ahead lol.

Not surprising. A double cross. What a douche. Roger Wilson, played by David Calder, basically uses LF to help out the bad guys who of course want to wake the dead to take over the world. Like the other two movies of course.

I do like that they changed it from being desert and Egypt and when with a new location and atmosphere. Right now, they are in the snow mountains. Definitely different type of terrain.

Now we have Lin, Isabella Leong, calling for the Yeti for help. She sends them after they soldiers. Which is definitely not something you would have expected in this movie. But it would be really cool to be able to speak to yeti. It could be useful for lots of reasons. I mean if you ever really ran into a yeti. And apparently, they know about football. One of them just did the arm signal for Score.

We still have John Hannah playing the comedic relief. Always good for a laugh, “mummies, they never play fair.”

There are so many repeats of the same phrases in these movies. “Time to go,” “That’s comforting,” and those two were just in a 5-minute period. I don’t know if it was on purpose but they are definitely ones that I remember from at least the first movie.

JL’s death is a little gross. Not what I expected to see. I’ve only seen this once before because I got the trilogy, you know you have to lol.

Well I’ll leave the rest for you to watch.

Thanks for reading.

Toke On

Interviewer: In 2006, you had the opportunity to work with another Burke, your son Tom, in “Number 13,” the M. R. James Christmas ghost story. Was that the first time you ever worked with Tom on screen?

David Burke: The first time we worked together professionally. When Tom was still at school, we used to do performances in the village hall.

Anna Calder-Marshall: We’d make them up, in secret, just comedy, clowning, poems…we’d do Victoria Wood sketches.

David: Tom was brilliant at that.

Anna: Brilliant…we’d work them up over Christmas … We worked so much together as a threesome. I mean we did show after show … we must have done about 8 or something.

Interviewer: Do you think Tom would ever give the role of Dr. Watson a try?

David: I think he has too much charisma.

Interviewer: I was gonna say, I think he could probably play Holmes …

David: He actually does a speech…

Anna: … Holmes, as Jeremy Brett. He’s an incredible mimic. He learned it for one of our shows.

Happy Birthday Scottish Rugby great, Gary Armstrong born 30th September 1966 in Edinburgh.

Armstrong was first capped at aged 22 against Australia at Murrayfield, he went on to be capped 51 times for Scotland in a career ravaged by injury brought on by his fearless playing style, it is quoted by fellow Scot David Sole (that) "If you were picking one guy to go over the top you would pick Gary Armstrong. He would put his body on the line for the cause -- a phenomenal player with incredible courage."

Such were Armstrong's injuries he devoted an entire chapter to them in his autobiography" Scotland played 89 matches in all between his debut against Australia in October 1988 and his final appearance against the All Blacks 11 years later,he would undoubtedly have played the majority of these matches had he remained injury free, however he surely would not have been the same fearless player. He was fearsomely committed, a quality which made him a favourite of notoriously demanding Scotland coach Jim Telfer.

To put him on a pedestal on my own would be unfair, I confess to not being a massive Rugby fan but when the late great Bill McLaren, said of him "I can't recall an occasion on which he passed one rubbish ball to his partner, then you might start believing the mans ability.

To sum things up in a poll in The Herald in 2015 Gary Armstrong was voted the Greatest Scottish Rugby player ever, another article from ESPN is titled "The man who never threw a rubbish pass" The Sports network have him at our number six best player.

The year Gary Armstrong retired, 1999 was the last time Scotland won the Five (now six) Nations Championship. Checking the facts myself, in the 20 years that have passed, we haven't even been runners up our best standing lately was third in 2018.

Coincidence? Make your own mind up. To borrow a line from a famous song...." When will we see your likes again?"

A former lorry driver in the amateur era, Armstrong returned to the lorry business after his rugby career ended while also trying his hand at farming. He has since made a successful transition to the grain business and turned out for Stewart Melville’s third XV at the age of 51 as part of his ongoing work to aid the My Name’5 Doddie Weir foundation.

Armstrong also made a surprise return to the playing field in 2018, turning out for Stewart’s Melville RFC’s third XV as a favour to his old friend and fellow former Scotland international Finlay Calder.
