Be suprised if he last the year out. Of course --he is 92 so he`s had a good whack. I would think one more good session with Winnie on top and he`ll be away.

I cant think of another person who commands such World respect.

Be a sad day when he pops...I suspect the documentaries are well under way.

Mind--his best mate ... Dessie "The Hat" Tutu..he`s a knockout isn`t he. I watched an interview with him a few weeks ago..and his every word was spoken with such verve and truthfulness. Made me quite humble.

But, where does he get his hats though eh? See that one he`s had on this week? wtf?? Is it Reg Varneys from On The Buses?

He`s the black mans Noel Edmunds and his jumpers!

I went to see the great man in 1993 when he came to Glasgow, that was before he went all showbiz and started hanging around with Bono and The Spice Girls.

One of the few books was his autobiography.

Should be mandatory reading.

That will be around the time I bumped into him. I was getting some apples in Tescos in `Pool and the f**ker jumped out from behind the bananas...

"You shouldnta be-a buying those apples young-a man. They are-a froma South Afreeeca. Dont you know there is Apartied in South Afreeeca?"

"Eh? Are you from Spittin Image yer simpleton!"

"But arm telling you white-a boy...buying those apples will kill-a three black africans"

..then he got dragged off by security.

Apparently he`d been given day release from Bird Island (he`d been in there for 35yrs for throwing a fire bucket off a roof which landed half a mile from a policeman. Some thought he should have been executed but in a landmark case.. he was only imprisoned).

Found out he`d saved thousands of air miles off the tins of Del Monte peaches which he refused to eat...but could only get a flight into Teeside then hitched a lift to Pool cos he wanted to see the clock in the museum... the clock that had been bombed by the Germans in 1916.. Hartleppol being the first town ever to be bombed by a German warship).

He seemed a canny fella.... kept shouting summat as he was being carted off.... "Desseh the Hat! Bring Desseh the Hat!" or some shite.

I wrote a pamphlet about him, then bugger me... they were all at it... all this FREE NELSON MANDELA stuff.

But--- I had Deidre Me Tits Go Down To Me Belly Button Rashid to consider and so whilst everybody else jumped onto this bandwagon that they really knew nowt about... I turned my attention to reality..and the more serious matter of getting DmtgdtmbbR free from her own incarsaration. Aye, an that.
