Your brother invited George for one last attempt to get you to agree to leave with George. It was now the day before your wedding and your father held a party to celebrate. You loved George and you didn't want anyone else. Sadly your parents decided to marry you off to the rich noble Locksley much to your dismay. Your brother had been helping you and George sneak around for months now. Your brother of course noticed the feelings you and George had for each other and was now working on getting you together behind your parents backs and it worked. You both loved each other but neither of you had the courage to tell the other. Sometimes George would send a horse for just you and your spend the evening together. You would sneak to the woods by your house or George would bring you to the castle. However your brother and George found ways to still hangout and George always insisted your brother bring you a long. You being wealthy and George being the Sheriff you had to attend many parties together. The only time you could see him was at social events. Years later George became the Sheriff of Nottingham under some very suspicious circumstances and as a result of that your father stopped allowing you and your brother to see him. Your brother was reluctant but George talked him into letting you hangout with them. When you got a little older you begged your brother to let you play with him George and the other boys considering your were the only girl around your home. He always made it a point to flirt with you when your brother wasn't around. Even from the time you were a small child. I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more.George was your older brothers best friend and you always fancied him. Oh, you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for. You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for. RIP Alan.Īnd when you find me there you’ll search no more. Two heroes gone in four days, and both only 69 – Enough now. I will now, as well as enjoying David Bowie’s back catalogue this weekend, look out for some Alan Rickman films to watch. And, a piano intro again, which seems to be forming a pattern here. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams:Īnyway, I have now forgiven Bryan Adams for commandeering the 1991 chart and listening to the song again I have to concede that it is quite pleasing to the ear. All those fans of the film went mad for Wet Wet Wet’s version of Love Is All Around and we had yet another summer long monopolisation of the No. The same phenomenon happened three years later when Four Weddings and a Funeral was released. All those people who didn’t usually buy records, rushed out to acquire it after enjoying the film. We ended up getting quite cross with Mr Adams through no fault of his own. 1 in the UK and although it wouldn’t have done his bank balance any harm, for those of us who used to get quite excited about what topped the charts (sad I know), it ruined most of 1991. Poor old Bryan Adams – He still holds the record for the most weeks at No. Little did I think that the title track from the movie (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, would still be at the top of the UK Singles Chart in October, long after the suntans had faded. It was June, the start of summer, and we were already sporting glorious suntans. Thinking back to 1991, I remember going to see Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with my boyfriend (now husband) after returning from an early summer holiday in Greece. Alan Rickman playing The Sheriff of Nottingham He has of course appeared in many, many films and theatre productions since, but most of us will remember him best as The Sheriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies and as Emma Thompson’s foolish husband in Love Actually. Alan Rickman on the other hand turned in an amazing dramatic and comedic performance totally outshining his fellow actors. Kevin Costner was at the peak of his career around this time and although the film was a great success, I thought he was a bit underwhelming in it (give me Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood any day). In Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, he definitely stole the show playing the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham. He seems to have been the kind of actor who never played the leading man but kept popping up in supporting roles and stole the show. He was familiar to me then, so he must have appeared on TV shows and films prior to that. Thought I’d first really noticed Alan Rickman in Truly, Madly, Deeply – A lovely little film with Julia Stevenson but it turns out that Die Hard came out first where he brilliantly played the villain Hans Gruber. I am in disbelief – only four days into this blog and another of my heroes has died.
