I nearly said 'except Aaron'. 
Just like the subjects of the shows she made, the woman is a vile creature.

And do magic!
Dick Van Dyke is indeed an awesome showman, and it's a mite sad that many of the references to him on these boards are derisive on account of his accent in Mary Poppins. His song and dance routines in Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are peerless. Tremendous energy, skill and joy.
Melanie C's shoulderblades.

Yes, he's a treasure. At 91 it probably won't be long before he passes, so hopefully he'll be remembered as the superstar that he was.
His recently departed sidekick, Mary Tyler Moore, was also an incredible dancer with a winning smile.

I hope he'll pass 100. Watching him still singing and dancing, he seems healthy and happy. And he's proof of Groucho Marx's maxim that: "A man is as old as the woman he feels." As his wife is some years his junior.
Yes, always liked him when I was a child. Not sure if I've ever seen Mary Poppins in its entirety but I definitely did see CCBB (several times) and bloody loved it.
Also watched Diagnosis: Murder, couldn't stand Scott Baio though so I preferred the Charly Schlatter episodes.
Dick Van Dyke also played a murderer in Columbo...and was very convincing.

Makes a change from Patrick McGoohan and William Shatner.
I seem to remember there were some unsavoury rumours about DVD some years ago. Presumably unfounded now.

Is that in a "tie my kangaroo down sport" kinda way ?
Aaron I don't know this woman but she looks angelic and she loves cute fluffy things. Why is she vile ?
It's been 8 years, he's probably forgotten.
Unless she voted Labour or something. 
Who are we talking about...?
Gordon's sister.

Michaela Strachan, why is she vile ? I hadn't noticed the comment was 8 years old, but technically we're all on the same page.
