In what way?

 

Born in Germany, lived in Israel most of his life. Traveled a lot for a young man and lived in Houston, USA, Texas?

Inar! Get a grip, man...

I didn't know that Noel Cantwell was a Jedi. I hope he didn't use his powers on the pitch. That wouldn't be very sporting.

[Guest IYG]

Ha ha ha. Yes I am a jedi knight or rather was. I was thrown out for indecent exposure. But I'm also a Man U fan, since I was bitty boy, all those months ago.

i wish George Best would hurry up and snuff it

Am gutted!

 

Oh, the hours I spent wiling away my youth on that island, learing how to construct radio transmitting devices from a few coconut shells, a bit of seaweed, and the venom of that ginormous poisonous spider that lived in the cave. Sigh... No wonder I have a penchant for academic-types.

[Guest Dr. Claude Phd.]

I attended one of his gigs a few years ago. He was one of the best blues musicians that I have ever listened to.
