Mum and dad split up and i was farmed out to grandparents to raise me 10 years to 14 years.
Didnt see east ham dave or mum during that time but i clung on being through the tommy boyd talk show, Clive bull, Alexis korner and derek and clive tapes.
Maurice went on his Logans run trip tonight. 19 years old. He was my companion every inch of those 19 years. He held on to my wedding week.
Enjoy your big sleep by the light of your new sun Mo.
A gentler soul never walked across the salted earth.
I was wailing like some pipe smoking french hag at the 17th century guillotine when they put him to sleep in my arms. Lost pets before but this one hit me me like a roy shaw knuckle duster.
When i met jo 19 years ago at 38 I was still fu cking about with wa nk drugs , wa nk people and wa nk creedo. she took a chance and We moved in together and introduced maurice . She felt i needed responsibilty .. as if that worked before...
No doubt there was sawtooth waves of ups and downs but Mo grounded me, he slept with me every night even after 12 pints, a Jalfrezi and a kinder egg of sulphate up me arse hole.
Mo Didnt give a flying yaks quim if i was wan king myself half to death on the sette sunday morning with a pair of jo's fishnets soaked in vinegar over me head after a heavy night. He loved me.
I hope he's crossed the rainbow bridge and in his style, is shitting on gods Lupins.
cheers rob and hoops.. I can't believe there have been 3 women on the face of the planet who have wanted to marry me. I've still got all my teeth and hair but look like 'Grouty ' from porridge. fat git.
Truly love is blind.
I have to do a speech as well.. I've fleshed one out .. route one stuff as jo's family make the Amish look like studio 54 / Warhol Factory hedonists.
Watched 'Looking for Mickey' again the other day, never knew it was based on the Krays breaking out Frank mitchell' the mad axeman' from prison, who Freddie Foreman topped.
I know mate, The writing , the acting and that special weave between Terry and Arthur... magical.
A lot of their dialogue was ad lib, they just played off each other. I've got a script with hand written notes from 'Des' George layton from the episode 'the bounty hunter' where Terry jumps off a flyover onto a lorry, ' Mad bastard'.
Have you seen 'Fox' or Frank Ross 'out' both classics that capture london of the times. brilliant television.
Cheers boys, i'm as nervous as hell about walking down the old isle again next week.. feel a bit stupid but there you go.. getting all the family together including my lovely but unhinged mum will be nerve racking .... you never know what avenue and alleyway life will lead you to. I'm the luckiest twot alive to be given another chance... xx
'Minder' Ior me is not just a tv programme, more a family member. Terry , Dave and Arthur forever young in perpetuity on itv4.
I have a garden Bar dedicated To the Winchester and write for the following forum which is the bible for all minder fans. It's a real labour of love. It hits hard with many middle age people because 'Minder' was a surrogate father, brother to many.
'Er indoors Chigwell Jo is the love of my puff. I love her and i'll never recover. If you get a sniff of love in life , grab it with both hands and hold onto it like japanese knotweed.
I'm nothing more than a chancer , a fraud, an empty vessel yet i've been given another chance at my old age of 58. i intend to bathe in my good fortune with my soul mate.
Do the same lads if you get another chance.
see you on the other side good QPR brothers and sisters. Drink in love, companionship and mutual respect with a Vampiric thirst when you can. It doesn't come along often like the 238 bus.
ahh ok steve, you are always the 5th dan high sensei of knowledge!
Yep been supporting the raiders since 2016 when Josh Hodgson and Elliot whitehead went there.
They remind me of QPR in many ways, Unfashionable (ie outside Sydney) not able to splash out on the big names but developing youngsters and British talent. I've Really absorbed their history since becoming a fan , Laurie Daley , Mal Meninga, Brad Clyde etc etc and get more nervous watching them than i do the Rangers.. odd! I
I hope to see them in the flesh one day down under before i get too old.
Same here with NSW, been supporting them since the days of Thurston, Slater, Smith, Cronk and Inglis given them the dry slap every year
The Doctor Joseph Goebbels Public enlightenment division couldn't spin that the Queensland squad is any match for News South Wales, Yet i have a feeling at Sun corp, that they will edge it by 6 points today.
Cameron Munster and Big Tino back for the Maroons could prove decisive .
State of Origin. Pure ancient Rome at the Colosseum. Games without frontiers.
Could be some artefact of a higher dimension or a previous life that i can't consciously perceive but I'm drawn across the salted Earth to the Canberra raiders, and Thus NSW.
just emerging from the emotional black fug of the last two weeks, that have for family reasons, been more emotionally crippling than being Adolf Eichmann's stenographer at the Wannsee Conference.
Read northerns withering computations of the season and punched the air like James Brown slipping and sliding on stage to maceo parker's alto flute at the apollo.
For a couple of minutes i forgot the knuckle duster of life and soaked up his QPR nuremberg cross examination like activated charcoal absorbs week old brussel sprouts.
