I'm impressed Simon! I thought that none on here would know Fukasaku who is one of the most important Japanese film directors of the late 60s and early 70s and who revolutionized Japanese cinema with his yakuza films based on true accounts filmed in docu style with quasi epileptic camera moves. His Battles Without Honors and Humanity series is a good starting point for those who might be interested in his work.

I would like to smoke a cigar with my maternal great grandfather who as well as being a cigar smoker - according to my Aunt, was also a carpenter in the Naval dockyard at Porstmouth. I have a couple of his old tools, but sadly most of his old wooden planes were disposed of by my late Uncle who inherited them. I would be fascinated to hear some of his stories about the work he did on boats at the turn of the last century.
Good thread to restart, I seemed to have missed it first time around. I'd have the Young Winston & listen to his tales of his early life & escaping from the Boers. Another smoke with Nic Wing would be wonderful & whilst we are bring up the departed, to enjoy one in my parents garden with my Father. He never smoked but put up with my Mother's smoking for nearly 40yrs before she finally gave up & wouldn't mind sitting next to me whilst I smoked a Epi' No2 & I could tell him how well his granddaughter is doing.
