I have just spent half and hour chatting to former Beirut Hostage Jon McCarthy..

[Deleted User X18H]

...in Dyke Road Park!

And what a thoroughly bloody nice bloke he is!

I decided not to do the usual (adopts girls voice) 'guess who I just saw' thread

I bet hes got a fascinating story to tell anyone with the time to listen.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Him and his ex (Jill Morrell) wrote a joint auto biography, "Some other Rainbow" I think it was called. It was about his time in captivity. Yes a facinating story, mainly becuase it shows how both of their spirits were never broken. Also the depths to what some fellow human beings can do.

Read the book.

Shame you didn't avoid the 'look at me I'm better than all of you' thread.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Did your conversation touch upon radiators by any chance ?

The question isTim, was his hour and half with you more onerous than the time spent in captivity?

(and is he an Albion fan?)

You absolute cock juggling thunder c*nt Timothy! I had a chat with Falklands vet Simon Weston the week before last but you didn't find me rushing on here to boost my fragile self esteem with a thread about it now did you!?! Sort your self esteem issues and your life out and refrain from this kind of 'look at me bullshit' in future.

p.s. If anyone's interested in the Simon Weston thing PM me for FULL details! ....or I could do a thread like Timothys if there's sufficientt demand.....

 

[Don Quixote]

f*** the lot of you. I saw Michel Kuipers, Jim Mcnulty, Dean Cox AND Kevid Mcleod today. You don't see me comming on here telling everyone that i saw them.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

A thread about your conversation with Simon Weston would be most welcome.

...after 20 minutes was he longing for the endless days spent handcuffed to a central heating system in Beruit?

Thank you for your kind words Hollingdean Boy. The main reason I started the thread was that I was so surprised to see Jon Mccarthy in Hove!

I saw that Zoe Ball off the telly in Waitrose 4 years ago, nearly shat myself!

I think holidays in Beirut would be out of the question , so Hove would be the next best alternative.

I bet Beirut passed by a lot quicker...

I bet when he got out of Beirut he thought life couldn't get any worse!

Then he met Timmy!!

I would imagine that Mr McArthy has been busy phoning up the great & the good to relay his scintilating experience this afternoon. Just think, he'll never have to buy himself another drink or bite to eat ever again.
