I was born in Kensington.<br /><br /><b>Where do you live and why?</b> Wimbledon. I moved from Kensington two years ago, partly because of my heart - I've had a quadruple bypass and I've got a pacemaker - and partly for the sake of my three dogs.<br /><br /><b>If you could change one thing about your street, what would it be?</b> I'd get people to walk and not use their cars. I never meet anybody on the street. In Wimbledon, everybody could die and nobody would know about it.<br /><br />...<br /><br /><b>When and where did you last get drunk?</b> In 1968. I went to Frankfurt with a bunch of ne'er-do-wells to play rugby. I was a hooker. After the match we went to a Spanish restaurant. I was in a shocking state - vomit all over the place. Never again.<br /><br />UNQUOTE<br /><br />I was a hooker? Brian Sewell? Now I'll believe anything.<br /><br />Not many people know this but one night just after he moved in, opposite my friends L&D, there was a power cut. L&D are lighting the candles when there's a knock on the door and there's their new neighbour, Mr Sewell, saying "is there a power cut or am I going blind?".David Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345636878071983416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-61083856819965622592011-10-17T19:01:16.813+01:002011-10-17T19:01:16.813+01:00Don't worry - I sneer at myself as well!Don't worry - I sneer at myself as well!Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-8073243449653391872011-10-17T18:50:37.357+01:002011-10-17T18:50:37.357+01:00Is this the man who dared sneer at me because I co...Is this the man who dared sneer at me because I confessed that I burst into tears while watching the death scene in "Marley" or Hachi keeping a vigil for Richard Gere at the railway station? Or even Willy vaulting over the sea wall and disappearing into the vasty deep? Double standards.SDGnoreply@blogger.com
