Can't say I expect him to be resting in peace if there is an after life. He was a nasty piece of work who had very few moral qualms. He claimed that he killed 19 people but was never convicted of murder. If you're interested check out the movie based on part of his life Chopper starring Eric Bana.

TWO shots of any vodka.
Must be TWO, one or three won't do.

How about the name in the title that I put in. Looks like there was a screw up with my phone putting the new thread in.

A lot of it was his imagination, but there were certainly colourful episodes. Basically he was a nutter.

I know that pain.
Yesterday I was playing bridge and my fat finger pressed 7 NT instead of Pass.

I did wonder why there were two Chopper threads. :doh:

In answer to your question - I'll drink anything, me.

But what would I prefer? A real ale over lager, a nice G&T, decaf coffee (quite strong with no sugar and the tiniest splash of milk), and diet coke. Not all in the same glass though.

Or when we've got all the ingredients in a nice B-52. BOOM!

Looks like Neal has merged them whilst I was in the local nick.

Drinkwise...Nelsons blood with a dash of peppermint, a nice real ale or a chilled quality lager.

Definitely. He really came to prominence by writing books based on his life. About 3/5 of which were made up. He was never one to let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
