Well something about myself, Thats not easy when you think about it I met lots of people and done lots of things, its not often you get to blow your own trumpet. And after my last post on LWT think I need to do something positive Avrielle I love your post sounds to me as though you where a bit of a rebel and I like rebels.good to hear you tell it as it is and be so frank and to honest I’m rather glad it failed. never thought i would posting stuff like this today, Well done Tony.
I have done many things and met many famous people worked for miss world ( Eric Morley )and met many stars, I hold a military award that only 83 people in the world have. I Stood in places no man ever stood and done things no man would ever want to do. I have been on the news, Had 2 songs written about me, been to buck palace met lots of PMs but not this one had a meeting with Harold Willson and had to odd shoes on, one brown and one black he saw the funny side of it. I never I don’t like to make mistakes like that, but I did Laugh. got shot down in a helicopter and as you can see survived.
I restored the local War memorial took me 5 years to raise enough money to do it. Up until I got RA I raised money for all sorts of charities. Still working for one now but its bloody hard to cope these days. Fun Days my nick name in those days was Monty.
However the best thing I ever done was meet Mrs C we met as children I was 11 she 10,at age 14 we became sweethearts and been together ever since. We have A beautiful daughter and 2 grandchildren they are my proudest thing in life, next to Mrs C My daughter has 2 degrees and a masters and has had some of her stuff published in medical journals. Then the 2 grandchildren They are my Grandson at the age of 14 has flown an aeroplane he’s my World, My granddaughter She is 21 now wants to be a physiotherapist Now that’s a whole different ball game because she is my Universe and I could write a book about her. Never thought I could love people so much But so proud of them all. Mrs C needs a medal for putting up with me since I got sick. Her Father was a famous Liverpool boxer and her Grandfather was also a famous boxer and holder of a Lonsdale belt. She worked with people suffering from mental illness and Alzheimer's disease for 22 years I think that’s why she puts up with me Apart from that not done much. Did I tell you I went to Eric Claptons house, met Mick Jagger, Cilla
Black, and John Lennon I saw Frank Sinatra play Piano on top of the legs of Mann, Freddie Star, Ken Dodd, I was friends with the Irish Show band till they where mudded. I was second in the Sleeve Donard (Highest mountain in Ireland) race two years on the run. I’m starting to feel a little better now I had a good brag. I know the Searches and lots of 60s groups. I was expelled from 2 schools and in my last year at school I had 3 half days in. But I regretted that and had to go to school later in life and eventually got myself to uni The army are really good with education these days. But I would not recommend young people joining the army today My grandson wants to join the Air force. Well that’s all folks if I think of anything really good ill get back to you. As for Tommy Steele he is one of my all time greatest and one of the first British rock and rollers to have chart success but a fantastic entertainer and OBE I think he may be in his 80s now Thomas hicks I think his real name was but a fantastic voice

Wow, Colin, what an amazing, interesting, varied life thus far. Not much you have not done or achieved. I feel dizzy. Did you always remember to breathe? Have you ever thought of writing a book about your life? What a lovely, genuine person you are too, but I knew that anyway. You ought to feel immensely proud when you re-read all you have typed. Your family will be too, let them read it as well, to remind them, but I very much doubt they need reminding.
You are an incredible man, Colin.
Gentle hugs to you,

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
Avrielle...I love the hole in the wall thing....I can just imagine the students wondering who made it...and yes whatever your life as thrown at you ...it has made you stronger...

Hey Elizabeth i thought someone might ask that but i would have to give away my real name if i told you.
i take it most of you use a sudername on the Forum, Not that anyone would know me anyway, I thank you for the nice coments to me me life seems just like anyone elses. When i think back i wish different things for myself. I wish i would have been home more with the family Time is the greatest thing you can give to another person. I think if you googled most of us you would get some information. Seriousley i was mistaken for a pop star from the 60s at a club i worked in so i pretended to the person that he was right but not to tell people. Within hours everybody in the club thought i was that person and using a sudername. I used to walk around singing the songs that this guy used to sing LMAO and they all believed i was him untill one day in a drunken state i told them the truth but then came out with the metal plate in my head so mobiles where not allowed in the club and they fell for that one to.

*Met Johnny vegas and had my photo took, this was before he was famous like he is now, his agent was a right plonker..
*My nickname is Trev, apparently i am more like a bloke than a woman(last time i looked i had all my lady bits) as i like sport, climbing trees(not anymore) arm wrestling, downing pints, i'd say i am more a trace than a Trev now though lol

I got married when I was 7. It was with the Sunday school I attended. Can't remember much about it except I wore a white dress and a veil and walked up the aisle. I think it was a play we were doing.
A few years ago, I packed a bag not much more than a foot square and went pillion on a motorbike from the NE England all the way to the south of Spain. We camped each night and stayed for 3 nights every few days to wash our few clothes. Took us 3 weeks there and back.
When I was 18, I used to go to a nightclub where they got people up on the stage to play games. On Xmas Eve, when I was on my way out of the house, my dad said I had to bring back a turkey. At the club, a few of us got up and were asked to fight our way out of huge paper bags. I won and was given a set of glasses. I asked if I could have the turkey which was one of the prizes and the compere said I could. My parents got quite a shock when they got up and found there were two turkeys for the Xmas dinner.Christine0 -

Toni... My point exactly lol..

I remember Frazier Hines Tony!
I' ve thought of something...... I got Tony Harts autograph which was a lovely drawing of a dog.
I've mentioned my daughter was in Jack Osbournes class at school. He was a nice lad and chuffed when we named my Son Jack (although it wasn't after him). It was just before they returned to USA and did the reality show.
