One of my favorite movies.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta tomorrow (noun): a mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation and achievement is stored.

Especially the Car Wash scene[^]
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I believe he played in all the Airport movies.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

George was the only one in all 4 Airport movies.

How will anyone ever make another cheesy disaster flick without him? 
RIP George, and thanks for all the hours of good, clean entertainment!![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I've had the honor having lunch with George at his house (Eagle, ID) on multiple occasions (in the early 2000's), and pop-in visits here and there since.
While a 'tough-guy' on the big screen, George was a big marshmallow teddy bear through and through in small Eagle, ID.
A big Man with an even more grand heart.
As noted in the article Remembering Idaho’s Humble Hollywood Great George Kennedy[^]:
In Hollywood, George Kennedy will be remembered for his great work and awards. In Idaho, he’ll be remembered as truly a Gem State Treasure.

I hate email signatures.
I hate huge ones that contain every conceivable piece of contact information they can think of.
I particularly hate the above on emails from people in the same bloody office.
I hate ones that include the email address like the email doesn't know where it's come from.
I hate ones that have a fax number like it's the 1990s.
I hate ones with images, especially if the image makes the email client think there is an attachment.
I hate ones in Comic Sans, you're not fun and wacky, you're a twat.
I hate people who cannot be bothered typing their name at the end because they just let the standard sig handle it.
If you cannot be bothered signing off with you name then you're getting nothing back from me either.
I'm in a grumpy mood today.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I don't know how to pronounce that name but it looks like Naggy to me, something wives are famous for doing to their husbands, so you could be right.

I've always pronounced it Nagy too, in my head, I don't read this stuff out loud.
It is supposed to be pronounced to rhyme with lodge I think.
Nagy Vilmos is a joke in Hungarian, it means something along the lines of Big Willy.

I grew up in Hungary and never heard 'Nagy Vilmos' as a joke...
I do not know why our Nagy choose the name (maybe a translation of Big Willy?), but if you look up that name you will find someone very interesting...(Wikipedia)

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Maybe not, but it was funny at the time. When I moved to Hungary, my boss called me Willy or Big Willy; as my names William. I needed an email and so signed up for a free account with the name Nagy Vilmos. I've used it ever since; 18 years or so.

Interesting...Did your boss knew that Big Willy has some secondary meanings? If did, than it should be really funny...

To ruin everything, it should be pronounced "nodge" to rhyme with dodge.
Oh and in Vilmos the 's' is an 'sh' sound.

 I always thought it was your real name.

Vilmos IS his real name...He probably added Nagy (which means big) because of certain problems with his self confidence...

If I recall correctly he's driving a Peugeot or Vauxhall or similar. No lack of confidence there.
