Uncle T has gone into hospital about his heart (Uncle T was a great man, on the D Day landings his convoy was blown up, every one was killed except him. He was found whilst they were clearing up the dead and someone noticed he had a fresh tear in his eye. I remember him with a huge dent in his forehead and a grey flecked complexion. The grey was the shrapnel that was coming out of his skin all those years later and the dent was due to the force of the explosion. )

I liked Keith Moon - totally mad but with that certain glint in his eye. I suspect he knew exactly what he was doing and the likely result .......
Yes I liked him too.... I agree totally mad. I feel maybe he thought he was invincible and the thought that if it all goes wrong 'what the hell!!'
I recently read some stories about Keith Moon, having heard of the upcoming movie with Mike Myers. This guy was crazy.
Wow Dr C you have been delving deep in my drawers ... :-)
