That Hogan had very sad demise after promising early career. 

Still unsolved 

Having Testicular Cancer and his Father dying in the one year is fairly solid evidence

    I think he means Bob Crane (played Hogan on Hogans Heros TV show). He was bashed to death mysteriously.

    Oh yes Bob Crane had a very shady life outside of acting.

    You mean he was gay when it wasn't socially acceptable and he had to hide it in Hollywood like others, and the stress of this led him along the path of drug and drink problems?

    About 90% of Hollywood was Gay back then, but yes the outside world didn’t want to know.

    Maybe, but I believe he was also a womaniser with a keen interest in photography and video, if you know what I mean

    Klink was the son of one of the great Conductors, Otto Klemperer. As we say in Germany, Vat a conductor!!!!!

    I remember watching a doco about him late last year. He left his wife of 20 years and had an affair with a co star. But he was also a big womanizer who made a lot of home made pornography with many women.

    He definitely was no angel. Indulged in a few dodgy activities which had nothing to do with his homosexuality.

    Conductors are incredible when they are working hard, listening and projecting to an 88 piece Orchestra. 

    Like a top snooker player they have to be thinking 2-3 bars ahead all the time, as well as the actual moment

    Otto was one of the greats, along with Furtwangler and a Yakka Dude called Kurt Sanderling, another Jewish German who went to Russia instead of Hollywood and came back to Berlin in 1960. If you like so-called 'classical music' check these three out.

    The Sydney Conductor who guested on “Spi.cks and Specks” many times, he died last year. I met him a few times at work, absolute top bloke. He made me understand what a Conductor is actually doing

    Yes that’s the man. His passion for music and life in general was so infectious 

    he loved being on “Spi.cks” (don’t know why the word “Spicks” is Censored!!! :) 

    And now it isn’t!! Haha

    otto had a cousin victor, author of "i shall bear witness" who survived the bombing of dresden and in the confusion and destruction of that, was able to avoid imminent deportation to a concentration camp and thus survived till the end of the war

    John Banner (Shultz), Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) and Robert Clary (LeBeau) were other cast members who were born Jewish, the latter having been liberated from Buchenwald.

    Side notes: 

    - When Klemperer was approached to play Colonel Klink, he agreed to do it only if the writers made Klink an idiot.

    - The scar on Askin’s face came from being beaten while in the custody of the SS. And, as a little boy, he performed in front of Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria-Hungary.

    - Banner posed for U.S. Military recruiting posters during the war.

    - Clary was the youngest of 14 children, and is the only major cast member still living.

    Thanks for that WJ

    I knew about Klemperer only doing it on that condition. 

    The rest i didn’t know

    It's like an abstract quiz: how do you thematically get from Jesse Hogan to Victor Furtwangler in four steps via homosexuality in Hollywood and the television show Spicks & Specks?

    Next challenge: Victor Furtwangler back to Jesse Hogan via Spongebob Squarepants and a block of cheddar cheese.

    No. I am actually serious. There was a huge Roman Bath in there that lasted until around the mid 90’s. 

    I went there a few times after a night shift. 

    It was brilliant!!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
