Jan writes to me, As promised I send you the 2 files of Errol Flynn's registration at the Rock Hotel in Gibraltar… Note: The lady who send me the files, bless her cotton socks, she wrote Errol's name wrong. I let her off this time.
Have a great weekend, David.

Errol's application for American citizenship!
26
Mar
Here is Errol's application to become an American!
Which was made on May 9, 1936 or December 20, 1938 not clear to me on this record. Maybe some of you fellow members can decipher this one?
Did he forget the date he married Lili – maybe he wanted to that? So, when did he get married? Is it really May 5, 1935 as he states in this application or as so many records say otherwise – that it was June 19, 1935? Another noteworthy declaration on this application is – as stated here – that he lived already in May 1936 at 601 North Linden Drive. Did he live there with Lili? Was this not his Bachelor Pad with David Niven? There are nothing but questions – leave it to Errol and there are nothing but riddles! Is there anybody able to shed some light on it?

Book: Adventures of a “bon vivant”
25
Mar
When I registered myself on Facebook recently, immediately I got a message from a co-blogger, the very well known Ventura Sala, living in Mallorca. He mentioned the “must have” book, (which is only published in Spanish) called “Aventuras de un vividor”. It is only to mention the fact that this book actually exists. Although we haven't met yet (but we were d*mn close only a few weeks ago!), Ventura is probably the only local authority on Errol on that beautiful island in the Med.
He sent me two CD's in Spanish with a wealth of information, which in their own way are an enormous contribution to the legion of EF fans / admirers. Once we do meet, I am certain that he will take me to Errol's old “water holes”. Can't wait!!

Errol thinks he is a pretender!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
As promised I would send the documents regarding Errol Flynn's extract from the register on his arrival at the Rock Hotel in Gibraltar. I send the files to David in order for him to process this delightful task, probably you will find them in the “Document” category. Please read it, his “one word” comment is so typical for him. Errol had that special GSOH apart from being a practical joker. Reminds me, anyone ready for the subject “The big snook”?

Have any other Flynn bloggers come across the 'Friends of Flynn' fanzine? I picked up a handful of issues a few years ago and they were very good, with some pretty rare and unique Flynn content.
best wishes,
Brian.

Errol Flynn weekly Quiz
23
Mar
Dear fellow bloggers/authors,
I just got a marvelous idea to keep the right spirit going and give the site even more “zest. Probably a “first” among such quality websites. Why not take it in turn for each regular author to ask the others a quiz question on a weekly basis and get everybody (time permitting) going, searching and trying to give the correct answer. I think that keeps the juices and spirits (excluding alcohol) flowing I would say, what?
I don't mean questions like: “Who was the director of such and such film made in such and such year. Or “In which film did Errol have to grow a beard?” Neither, “Who co-starred opposite Errol in “Hello God”? (although I must admit that would be a great trick question now I think about it (haha!). Hell no, I mean more “deep down” substantial questions. Now I am writing this I become quite serious about it actually. Is there such a thing as “I demand or I insist?”
Comments please…………………..!?
Personally, I think it is a must
