He has mental health issues. The fact he has prevailed, the fact he has found a rubric, the fact he has insight, has sough help, the fact he is still the winner he is..... Legend. Absolute legend.

I have a pic from around 62 with me, my dad and a parrot at Drusillas. :love:

Harsh. I can't possibly comment because I'm trying to rehabilitate myself with the Crawley dwellers, one of who has got the serious hump with me after I recounted tales of 1980. And the more I think about it, the more I'm pondering a 3 day visit, with the bike, checking out the old haunts...

Sad to hear. I'll try to take another trip down memory lane when the weather improves and see how things look. In a literal and metaphorical derailment, this is another mini railaway gem that is sadly not open to the public, but the land is not fenced off and we occasionally walk there -...

Well, I have apparently denied his Islamic identity and exaggerated his worth, so, the answer may be found in there, somewhere. Perhaps I have conflated great with iconic, albeit I'm not going to lose sleep about that. It's hard to listen to this without tears.

I wasn't being serious about Armstrong. I thought about 'The Power' but couldn't recall his actual name. Brilliant drummer, too, the Philthy Animal! As a big fan of pitch and put, Arnold Palmer sprang to mind, too. (Alas, I'm not taking this sufficiently seriously, I suspect).

For his longevity at the top-most level, hard to argue. He's 50. Wayne Gretsky Cassius Clay er, Lance Armstrong

Glad to hear it. I evidently chose the wrong time to go on a nostalgia trip. Does the model railway still run?

Sorry, are you changing the subject from my recollections of Crawley 40 years ago to how to cure knife crime in London today? A bit weird but.... OK. I am going to suggest that knife crime is caused by the people carrying knives. This seems to be a 'thing' among (but not exclusive to) young...

Befitting a tabloid journalist's question :wink:

I'm very pleased to hear that. I paid a brief visit 10 years ago. The big 'new' shopping citadel seemed nice. Goffs park, where I used to walk my dog, was a mud heap, but its hard to argue with geology. If it is no longer creepy, that's good news. League football team an' all. Progress. One...

Not sure I even blamed skin heads for Crawley being a dump 40 years ago. It was what it was. Not sure that supporting the skin heads of 40 years ago in Crawley would have kept the knife crime down in London now, either. But you never know.

f*** Me. It sounds like the town has gone up massively in substance since I last visited in 1973 :ohmy:

Did my first gig there at the Clair Hall in 1973. Singer in a rock band (yes, I know). Two hundred in the audience. Nearly shat myself. :lolol:

I lived there for a year (1980). The 'new' town square (since filled in with buildings) was a venue for skin heads to harass Asian mothers with their kids in the afternoons. I worked in a pub in the centre, and there were NF/BNP leaflets regularly left on the tables. The assistant manageress...
