    Oh, sorry if I sounded critical - it was no criticism; just sharing a fond memory of an old chap who impressed me very much. He also used to walk around with his fists in his pockets each clenching a roll of pennies since brass knuckles are illegal.

    As I said, tough ol' bugger! I was very fond of him.
