[Dave]

Ive got loads and loads, who are dead and alive. Always changing. In many subjects.
One of the most recent I like is Francis Pryor. [Archeologist]
Especially his views on Pre Roman Britain.

Heyho ,
I'm inspired my many people .Caractacus , Vircingetorix , Boudica , G.M.Fraser , " The idea of Arthur" , Mors , Ray , Many more , But mostly my Dad and Grandad and Great-Grandad . Living off the land in rural 1930's shropshire was apparently not good at all . So to name one person , it would have to be my Great-Grandad , lived of the land , served in two wars as a blacksmith , and made the best custard a child could dream of .
Cheers Trev ,

 

[Miyagi]

Horatio Nelson, and my grandad.

Horatio Nelson?

Don't you mean Hardy? You're just jealous is all...

That foto looks like a Gerry Anderson puppet to be honest.

My Grandad and my Dad for their experiences and outlook on life which they shared with me.

My children for their innocent zest for life.

The lads I work with who've been put through life's mill far earlier than most of us.

And last but not least; Frank McAvennie, Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods for their... Shennanigans.

 

[Radix lecti]

People who inspired me and i admire Bob Doe fighter Pilot,Sir Richard Attenborough, Geoff my last Martial Arts teacher and the fellow i miss mostly my Grandfather Albert, ex LRDG.
