Sean Connery's career pre-Bond must have been pretty crappy

In this movie, instead of saying the line with a sneer, as in Celebrity Jeopardy, Connery would probably be saying this line with hope in his voice: "Not a fan of the ladies, are you Trebek?"

No way. My boys are both VERY much into young ladies and I am constantly on my daughter's shlt list for not liking her choice in "boyfriends". :p

I can't believe how early this junk starts these days.

Thomas (Sean) Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1930, as the son of a truck driver whose ancestors had come from Ireland. In the street in which the Connery's lived, there was no hot water. At the age of nine, Sean began to deliver milk before he went to school. In 1944, Sean quit school in order to work in a dairy on a regular basis. In an interview in 1999, he said about his experiences with women as a milkman that shortly after the war, when men were still away from home, it had been very interesting. In 1946, he enrolled himself in the Navy for twelve years because he wanted to see the world. But he was only on duty in huts in Portsmouth. After three years of service, he was discharged with a stomach ulcer and received a small pension.

For some time, he drove horse carriages. Considered an invalid veteran, he got the right to go on a training program. He wanted to become a furniture polisher. For 18 months, he worked in this job, but besides this, he began to exercise as a body builder and a weight lifter. In 1950, on the advice of a friend, he inscribed in the Dunedin Amateur Weight Lifting Club. At the Edinburgh School of Art in Lauriston he posed as a model. He also tried to start a career as a sportsman. He worked as a cement mixer and a bricklayer on building sites and as bouncer in a club. Connery spent the summer as a swimming pool attendant and life-saver at the Scottish Portobello. At the age of twenty, he became a football (soccer) professional. Unfortunately, at that time, there was not much money to make and, therefore, he also had a small job at the printing house of the Edinburgh Evening News where, on a daily basis, he melted lead and produced printing plates. During this period, he continued to train his body. In 1953, he participated in the Mr. Universe Competition at the London Scala Theatre where he made it to third place in the tall men's class, the category for men over 1,80 m (Connery measures 1,89 m).

I think that was his bricklayers get up...

g0atse and tvbgirl aren't all that bad. lem0nparty bothered me more. As a matter of fact, when I was an admin at ADF all three were a staple of the immature members for flaming or mocking other members. It got to be "meh" after a while. I am now desensitized.

ass, i googled "lem0nparty" and i really hate you right now.
