Default Can't act, can't sing. Dances a little.

If you add "isn't funny", I would say that was a fair assessment
of Fred Astaire and several others of his ilk.

(Just caught a bit of "Singing in the Rain")

Default Can't act, doesn't know the meaning of "ilk"

Sadly, I'm not of that ilk[*]. At least, not for several generations.

As I recall, Singing in the Rain (the movie) featured
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds,
not Fred Astaire.

Good to get the facts straight, don't you think?

You don't perchance remember that sitcom
"The Ilkley Lads bah tat" do you?

PS in receipt of Exeter College register.
AFAI can see, nobody (of interest) died.
