Always thought he looked a bit like Mark Damon.
Perhaps the tiniest bit in the âFace to Faceâ pic, and that would certainly be the type of character Damon would have relished playing.

Got my divorce papers through, today.
Hurting like hell⌠and have spent the evening re-living the past 31 years.
Not too sure what to feelâŚa mixture of emotions, that are doing my head in, this eveningâŚ
Meanwhile, tonight I phoned two of my brothers, who have each had a kidney removed, due to cancer.
One of them has just had an operation to remove a growth from his remaining kidney, and has come through it with flying coloursâŚ
Life is full of ups and downs.
This excellent song seems appropriate for anyone who is not prepared to stay down, and play dead. Itâs a song for anyone who is prepared to get up and fight, no matter the emotional, or cost to their soulâŚ
The times will get better my friend, right now youâre feeling low but eventually the silver lining will come through. My Mom had a knee operation this past week, so I too have had some things on my mind as well, and sheâs doing great.
For anyone feeling low and uncertain, this song always give me a lift and I hope it will to others
Thank you, my friend. I wish your mum nothing but the very best.
Please pass my smile on to her
Also wishing you, and those you love, the best of health, and the best of life.
Hang in there mate, you are made of tough stuff!
Glad to hear your Mum is doing well mate. It is very concerning at the moment. My Dad had a heart operation at the beginning of the pandemic.
Weâve all been there, mate (well, a few of us have, anyway). Iâm going back well over twenty years now, but: My first wife, we were struggling, I couldnât fathom why, sheâd never let me meet her at work, we came back from a short holiday away to a message on our answering machine from some woman telling my wife that just because her husband (ie me) was a nasty violent c#nt that doesnât give my wife the right to try it on with her husband. My wife had been telling her colleagues that I was hitting her, and sheâd been trying it on with a few of the guys there including the head chef of the restaurant (whose wife had left us a message). I left the house by mutual agreement just soâs we could sort things out but with a respectful distance between one another and, one night, she fucked off back to the West Midlands with every stick of furniture in the house. Sheâd been planning a moonlight flit. And I STILL didnât know what had prompted all of this. The lies, the attempts at cheating, the running. It wasnât until the financials started to come out in the subsequent divorce that I learned that she was in considerable debt. She had student loans from before Iâd ever met her which I knew about but trusted that she was managing them. Also, every time weâd ever bought anything big like a sofa or a fridge or whatever weâd done it in her name for her to sort out while I paid all of the monthly bills; the mortgage, the electric, the gas, the water etc etc. But sheâd not been keeping up with her ends, without telling me, and now she needed her half of a house sale - or a new sugar daddy boyfriend, or both - to help her sort iit all out. The irony is that if sheâd just told me, Iâd have been pissed at her but we couldâve sold our house in Essex, bought a place up north and probably paid most of her debts with the balance.
But divorce was, in the end, the better option, and it is for you too, mate. It doesnât matter how young or old you are, nobody should have time or make time for anybody who doesnât want to be in their life. If thereâs anyone in your life - friend, wife, lover, relative, colleague, whatever - who doesnât want to be in your life or doesnât want you in theirs, you CUT THEM OUT. Fuck them in the ear. Lifeâs too short to waste it on wankers and, God knows, this planet is choc-full of them.
Youâll be alright, mate. Maybe not right now and thatâs okay. Let it hurt if it hurts. Get it out of you. But youâll be alright in the end. You will.
The same thing happened to me in 2015 and I was only 30.
Sorry to hear about your divorce.
Iâve been on a constant horror movie binge (and blu-ray spending splurge) to try and distract myself from my own problems. I am watching very few if any spaghetti westerns but that interest will return eventually.
Thank you, Asa, for your thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging words: and for being so honest about your own past circumstances - a few of which I can definitely associate with. Your comments mean a lot.
Take care, mate.
Also, my very best to your familyâŚ
Cheers, Andy. A good film doesnât solve all of lifeâs problems, but it does often provide a pleasant distraction.
Happy viewing, buddyâŚ
So I pre-ordered something on Amazon UK a month ago. The release date was yesterday (Monday), but my order still hasnât dispatched. Whatâs the point of pre-ordering something if theyâre not gonna send it on release day? Has this happened to others as well?
Reminds me of an Seinfeld episode But Amazon not sending a preorder on the day of release? Yep tried that several times. Sometimes had to wait a couple of weeks after launch date of something I preordered ages ago.
You may have other things on your mind right now, but: The SWDb is a community of friends, and friends help each other. Our friend Chris is doing an exlusive sale of his album WAY OF THE RECKONING GUN: https://www.facebook.com/chris.casey.9279/posts/10164695322005650. Some of you might be familiar with those tracks, as some of which have appeared in the documentary EUROCRIME!, and in the film SIX BULLETS TO HELL, and more.
If that ainât your thing, heâd surely be super happy if a few of you contributed to his small fundraiser to help him move https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-with-minor-car-repair-and-moving-expenses Thanks for reading!
Good news for the world, it seems the Mega-Idiot is now, after some hesitation, losing the election.
Yes, the demented, old circus monkey defeated the incompetent and corrupt clown. People didnât vote for Biden, but against Trump. Good. Hopefully he moves straight to prison, after this.
