The man who found my mobile phone at the station and then drove 45 mins out of his way at 11pm to get it back to me. No idea who he was but he restored my faith in human nature.

Nah. He could probably smell your perfume on it and thought he'd be rewarded with a bit of..... "would you like to come in for a coffee"? eyes:

Shame you opened the door really I suppose, and shattered his dreams. scared:

Happened to me once Mr G. Popped in for a coffee and ended up there for the weekend. It was certainly worth the wheel clamp!

Yes, I just saw the end of this story last night, and IF he comes up with the dosh, he's to be applauded.
Not a publicity stunt i hope to further his business interests?
 God I'm SO damned cynical. ::)



Wonder if I should send him a letter congtatulating him on his generosity, FULL name, address, postcode and telephone numbers supplied of course? rubschin:

Vol 3 were good too. Edited after his death by Jane and a friend.
Now she I also admire as she stood by him and, after his demise, would not let anyone else denigrate him but preferred to show him warts and all in both Vol 3 and the subsequent TV series where she was played by Jenny (Phoar) Agutter and he brilliantly by John Hurt.

And for lovers of the delightful Miss Agutter

Sorry Nick ~ Hadn't realised that it was the teeth that turned you on. Here's a pic that shows them!

Jane Clark (of whom there are few pictures on the net)


Jenny Agutter playing Jane ~ I think they got the casting spot on.

I will admit that there is a part of me that admires Nick. This is a man who the universe has decided to beat up on a daily basis and still pokes his head out from under the duvet every morning.

Granted I'm still not sure if this is bravery or madness but either way he deseves a mention  point:
