I don't know about his prime, he retired recently. He used to coach the boys cricket team somewhere near us but I don't think he does that now either. He's 80.

Richard Harris used to drink in my then local on the Tottenham Court Road way back when and he could bloody drink. I' d probably have given em a run for their money in my heyday but decided some time ago not to die any younger than I had to so I stopped and my ex went out with Ollie Reed briefly who could also pack em away but was by all accounts wonderful and charming. Not many good hellraisers about these days are there?

My father used to drink with Dylan Thomas in his youth, he said that was quite an experience
