I paid about £150 for the gun I think?The course and the tools I bought afterwards cost maybe £3000?But………Speculate to accumulate,let’s just say the tools and course have paid for themselves.

No, I'd just rob your lot who's done all the prepping for me.

You are James Bond aren't you? THL's Alan Whicker/ Marco Polo. A mysterious globe trotter with a dodgy past . THL is a  broad church with some oddball members.  A bear pit, not for the straight thinking Joe. Long may it continue.

1953, 9 years old, Friday nights was given newspapers n a pair of scissors, by my father, cut newspapers into decent size bum wipes, to hang in outside bog them.wu. days eeh eh 

You had paper! You entitled, bourgeois ponce. My old man didn't believe in new fangled inventions like paper. He didn't even approve of dock leaves. In fact he forced us to gather nettle leaves for bum wiping. He said it was character building, but in truth it made us all  chronically anally retentive. My shrink said it was something to do with a dog torturer called Pavlov.

No Sir,I am Royston “Roy” Cropper,a quiet and shy intellectual man,a complex chap with hidden depths (and a touch of Asperger’s),Marco Polo was a childhood hero.
