Happy Birthday to my captain, Sir Patrick Stewart. The man who taught me a LOT of BIG words growing up and has always been a fantastic role-model. The man is such an ally, his response for being mistaken for a gay man was priceless.
He said he was honored and flattered and laughed it off. Apparently Ian McKellen send him an email congratulating him as a joke.
He is an atheist, a feminist and a patron of Humanists UK. I hope to be nearly as cool as him when I'm 84.

You asked for this; "Patrick Stewart With Hair"
One of these photos is "with hair, and very little else" so prepare yourselves...
To his clog mistress
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

I enjoyed MAKING IT SO, an autobiography by Patrick Stewart, an actor who I've enjoyed watching in all sorts of things: Star Trek TNG; I, CLAUDIUS; the early 2000s X-Men movies. While he's certainly best-known for TNG, his book doesn't focus on those years too much; the series occupies about 75 pages of this 445-page book.
Stewart grew up in Yorkshire, in a fairly poor family that had neither a refrigerator nor a toilet -- there was an icebox in the basement and a communal toilet for the entire block. His father Alf was a former infantryman: stern, reserved, and when he got drunk, violent; Patrick blames this for giving him emotional limitations that took a long time to overcome.

Damn, a young Patrick Stewart.
Yes, please.
EDIT: @Rafferty says this is Andy Whitfield, and a search seems to corroborate that fact. Sorry for the error, but still . . . 
Thinking about an interview between #WilliamShatner and #PatrickStewart (I think it was in #TheCaptains) where they talk about Klingon ships. Shatner refers to the Bird of Prey and Stewart says "no that's Romulans"
Shatner: "Wait aren't those Warbirds?"
Stewart: "Oh I can't bloody remember"

#AllStarTrek #PatrickStewart according to #RonMoore, "The Captain doesn't do enough screwing and shooting."
Sir Kenneth Clark seems to be changing gear slightly in Episode 6 of Civilisation (1969). Until now he's almost been a disembodied presence, art commentary without any physical interaction.
In this episode, he goes James Burke and operates a printing press.
Also a Shakespearean cameo from a young (29YO) Patrick Stewart (0:36).
Why is this not already a thing?
Oh right, that 'Writers Strike'
Well after that then, when the Writers have won!

Don't believe every quote you read, just because it's in a meme.

Una cosa que igual no sabéis es que hace ya muchos años Sir Patrick Stewart interpretó a Lenin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP7mzgf0xA8

Yes. Yes, you should bring pants.
Just because a casket lid is usually closed on the foot end doesn’t mean you can’t see or that nosy people won’t poke around and look. Also, think about how embarrassing it’ll be for your loved one as they attend ghost parties with no bottoms. Shameful.
On that note, there are no requirement about what dead people have to wear in their caskets. You want to be dressed in a suit? Fine. Pajamas? That’s okay too. Superhero costume? You do you! All we ask is that it fits reasonably well (though we can improvise with a few alterations) and that it covers anything that needs covering (autopsy incision, trauma etc). When in doubt, go for something long sleeved and high necked. Make your wishes known to your family!
You know how thoughts get stuck in your head?
I was at a restaurant in the Dandenongs in the 90s with my Parents, and Dad just returned from the smorgasbord with a plate of food, saying he saw someone and knew who they were but couldn't remember for the life of him.
So the hot food section opens and I go up and get a plate and I'm watching the bloke there carve the meat with a small group of other people, and just over my shoulder an elderly looking man taps my shoulder and asks me a question in a particularly quiet voice and lovely English accent, something about the proper way to obtain some of it, so I let on, no problem there and he thanks me.
He's wearing a hat, inside, which was rather peculiar.
Years roll on and I'm watching Patrick Stewart in an interview saying that he would go to one of the restaurants in the Dandenong ranges when a con was on here.
I have this vague sort of memory that I may have met Patrick Stewart and didn't know.
