He claims to have sparred with Nigel Benn, and Benn told him "no one has ever hit me harder than you, Sean ! ". Also claims to have been in the Para's and the SAS, and hold the record for a "halo" jump.......but he doesn't like to talk about it ! Strange thing, he is one of the nicest, helpful and most generous man I've met ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That keeper with the 250 I mentioned, he used to tell everyone that one of the Guns was in the "SAS or something like that". I'd never really say owt because there's just no f***ing point with these people and to be fair to the lad he had done well for himself over his career in the forces and was doing some cool shit but it wasn't the SAS or anything like it.......... it was the RAF Regiment ffs!

The lad had a young dog on, told us he'd been out and had 2 deer with the dog and sent us the photos to prove it. Well he sent us a photo of 2 whitetail bucks hanging in a random shed. When asked who's shed he made up a friend to go with it And what a absolute clown he looked when the truth came out funny as that was 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 15,580 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 An old lad In the little town I grew up in is iconic for his sporting achievements. football , tennis , rugby , boxing , numerous athletics disciplines, completed and mastered them all . Gold . in our little pub we have a sports bar type annex for watching football in and pride of place is a framed photo of our hero coming third in the 100m sprint at Hawick common riding in the late 70s . two of his best tales are one day we were asking him if there was wasn’t a sport he couldn’t do or excel at . “Arthur lad , “ he says to my pal “I could never get away with table tennis , just struggled to get a hold of the game “ “What so you couldn’t have represented England in it ? “ our hero has a drink musing “oh quite easily Arthur , if I’d practiced more” Later that night we we’re regaled with how the end of his boxing career was self induced as was “ terrified he was gonna end up taking some ones heed clean off!” 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,490 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have never been one of those easily able to contain myself when people just come out with absolute nonsense, I just have to laugh. I was clearing a load of kit out of Charringtons at Silver Town once and there was another bloke on there who had the job of clearing up the rubbish. He had his boy and another young lad there as well as his gimp mate and he was always yapping his tales of how he wasn’t really a bloke sweeping up shit in the yards, no, oh no......this bloke who wore a near life size gold boxing glove from Elizabeth Duke at Argos round his neck was really a top boy in the east London underworld. New all the big players, the Krays (obviously !), had a paper round with Jonny Palmer blah blah.....that type of shit ! His name was Bill and his boy was called Bill as well and he was one dopey looking article, so this one day he comes wandering into the place I was loading my van up from, completely at random, and whispers all shady like “Here, here” So I say “Yeah Bill, what do you want” And for no reason whatsoever he comes out with “My boy Billy is scared of no man or beast alive” He gave real emphasis to every word of that sentence. There was a moment of stunned silence from me and my pal who was with me while we did all the various mental calculations about what he said, why he said it, why he felt the need to say it and what relevance it has to any previous conversation we had ever had....... Then I just burst out laughing, one of those laughs where I covered his face in spit and so did my pal.......we were absolutely crying while Bill stood there in stunned silence ! He just wandered out with our laughter ringing in his ears. About 2 hours later he cane wandering back as if nothing had happened and said out the blue “I have got a yacht you know!” ”f**k off Bill will you, your driving us mad” and he was gone ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
