Glennie, real name, Glen Chowler,  is an English friend hailing from Cleethorpes in the North of England.
As far as I know, he is 47 (circa 2000), lives in the company of Helen, an Irish gal, and has one little son, Dylan,
works as a District Nurse, and has a lot of comments about life, sports, and the Grateful Dead.
 
I do not know about their cider but you should have a look for all the photos on England Cricket & Cricketers

Waves,washed-up and a good whacking

Wow!!! can a boxing bout get much better than that....big Audley the boxer and Paulo Vidoz that scrapper manifesting as a large lump of lard!!  ended up with a face like a bashed knacker, bleeding like a stuffed pig and ready for the meat hook. Only a big black fella can wear his hair like that and get away with it, imagine a white guy with multiple coloured bunches all over his barnet? look like something out of the gay mardi-gras.  
  
Also quite enjoyed the full re-run of the womens soccer final and glad to see the yanks getting silver for a change...Norway chicks rule ok......as Kenneth Wolstenholme once said...some people are on the pitch and some arsehole is swinging from the crossbar, what was that all about then?? and for you foriegners in the equation just thought i'd mention that Sir Geoff Hurst has just sold his world cup winners shirt for 90,000 quids!!!  anyway what about those gals playin a man's game then?? I don't want to sound sexist but.....watching those chicks with flowing locks, tight shorts and sweaty haunches that maybe one of them would like to come on over to my place and get a brew on, rustle up some scran and maybe run me a bath??  Gulbrandsen had some swarthy thighs and natural good looks, Mia hann could handle herself and Ulli Lehn was a bit of a lush but give me Grimsby town anyday... 
  
name of the day....German Shotputter......Heidi Cumbernuss!! 
  
Shame the ozzies lost in the hockey (mens) interesting penalty shoot-out..full of commentator bollocks...how the hell can you send the keeper the wrong way when he can almost touch the posts with each arm outstretched and the bar with the head??  wouldn't the best thing be to get out of the fuckin way of the little white grenade blasted at you and hope they put the shot wide??  
Livermore ....the Chris Waddle of australian hockey??? 
  
Nice to see kathy freeman wearing proper running gear, almost looks human....and how pretentious can you get by Jumping jai Taurima??? flowing locks, flash sunglasses (at night) and a superman logo tattooed on his left deltoid, glad the tosser ended up with silver. 
  
More commentator bollocks.......tactics in 1500 running try not to get boxed in etc etc...my tip is ..run faster than the others??? 
did you know there a 2 styles of long jump??  1) run, jump high and land   2) run, jump flat and land   Bollocks!!! 
and for all those brits who remember david 'Colemanballs' Coleman who was one of the greatest sports commentators of the last 40 years has finally gone ga-ga...the poor senile old git can hardly get his words out and they seem to use him for one race a day as he probably can't remember a thing........commentating on the final 100 yards of a race yesterday was memorable and went some thing like this........(athletes round last bend)  Errrr..........(3 runners head for line)...Looks like.......(crosses line)  ...kipketer is second!!!!!   why is he there??? 
  
Shame about the aussie 'walker' who got bounced 200 metres from the line after'walkin' 19kms and 800 mtrs...she should never have been there as walking is a farce and heads my top ten of things to make the Olympics much better.... 
  
Get rid of 
  
1) 20, 50 km walks etc..any walk...stupid..no use and they are running anyway 
  
2) anything synchronised...if you want tricks go to the circus 
  
3) anything involving 'athletes' over 20 stone...it's unhealthy and they are obviously all on drugs, take up 2 seats and need re-inforced beds in the olympic village (ban everyone from Romania and Bulgaria- all on drugs) 
  
4) Football (especially mens) we have World Cup, Euro Finals, Copa America, African nations etc etc  
  
5) Sailing (ok we won some medals) impossible to watch and have any idea what is happening or where they are going 
  
6) Softball too tarty, underarm is stupid, make them throw it!!! 
  
7) any sport involving nubiles, little girls should be at home doing homework, listening to All Saints and chatting to their friends on a mobile phone and not in Sydney giving a cotton and being abused by their lecherous coaches 
  
8) any sport that sanctions pretentious stupid and useless full body suits 
  
9) Tennis (but let Venus Williams enter any event she likes just as long as she wears those skimpy outfits that show her nips and almost everything else...yum yummmy) 
  
10) any sport that has ugly women competitors......... 
  

have a good weekend folks

Purify my soul

Start me up you little red rooster, shattered and can't get no satisfaction as wild horses trampled all over the brown sugar that Angie and Jumpin Jack Flash let it loose all down the line, still I'd be a fool to cry, must be happy, throw them tumbling dice, shake your hips, get your rocks off as you can't always git what you want!!!! 
  
Keef...why did you take all those drugs...so much heroin, too much cocaine and gallons of rebel Yell?? 
  
10 things you may not have known about Mr Keith Richards 
  
1) In May 1969 bought a 19 ft long mercedes nazi staff car that allegedly belonged to fat boy Herman Goering, shame he smashed it up on its first trip, had it fixed up then managed to total it the very next week.  
  
2) Keith's favourite food is shepherd's pie (with HP sauce) 
  
3) Brian Jones was actually bought out of the band a few weeks before he died with a golden handshake of £100,000 per year for life ( and the promise of undieing friendship with the band?); wasn't that cruel as the poor fucker could hardly play, hardly stand up and hardly breathe at the time, the heroin didn't help his asthma.  
  
4) What really fucked Brian up was that Keith had 'stolen' his gal from him at the time, Anita Pallenberg was pissed off with BJ, thought a full-on heroin junkie would be a better bet?? Brian tried to get his own back by dating one of keith's ex's Linda keith...don't think Keef could give a fuck. 
  
5) When they got rid of Allen Klein as manager he took with him the publishing rights to all Jagger & Richards compositions from 1963-1969. Also pocketed upwards of £16 million that the group should have had. 
  
6) Nick Kent (NME journo) on July 27 1974 christened  
keef ' The Worlds Most Elegantly Wasted Human Being' 
  
7) Between April and Nov 1971, for tax reasons living in exile,renting a villa (called Nellcote) on the French Riviera Keith and Anita and a crowd of liggers injected and snorted there way thru $2500 worth of drugs per week, $1000 worth of booze, $1000 worth of food and $2500 on rent, got busted, produced an album (Exile on main Street) and had to flee France. 
  
8) Names.....Bianca Perez Morena de Macias 
Prince Rupert Ludwig Ferdinand zu Loewenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg (Stones financial manager) 
Keef's daughter Dandelion (changed her name to Angela at age 14) 
Ronnie Woods nickname for Jagger...'Old Bumsrush' 
Keef's nickname for Jagger..................'Brenda' 
Son Marlon named after Brando 
  
9) On tour when crossing borders, etc., Keith would use a fountain pen with a secret compartment that was able to hide 2 grams of heroin.  ? the FBI furnished Keef with pharmaceutical smack to keep him out of trouble as the tour was being sponsored by a major car manufacturer and a bust would have been embarrasing to the company. 
  
10) On Dec 18th this year Keith will be 57 and possibly still alive.

Better than a hundred years lived in vice, without contemplation, is one single day of life lived in virtue and in deep contemplation.

 ADDENDA  
(following a question by Robert-Gilles Martineau 
Purify my soul 
 

Yes it is true that Keith used to go to Switzerland to purify his blood. 
He first went September 1973, too wired out on heroin and realising it would kill him soon he (and a friend Marshall Chess who had become addicted under keefs influence) had haemodialysis that allowed for all the toxic substances in the blood to be filtered out. 
  
A myth grew up that he had this done regularly but he was frightened by the experience as it took over 48 hours to do it and a recuperation of a week just to get some strength back. He usually had some drugs soon after this event. 
  
When he was busted in Canada and was staring jail in the face one of the stipulations that he was allowed back into canada was that he gave up drugs. So what he did was have this treatment before being tested in London by the Canadian Embassy and got his entry visa no sweat!!  tricky little bugger wasn't he. 
he eventually gave up Heroin when he met his 2nd wife Patti but still did coke, dope etc etc 
  
Cheers my dear
