Manchester does ring a bell actuallybut didn't know she worked in WanchaiI had another mate married a girl who worked in Wanchai so she could stay in Honkers,she paid him,cant remember how much but they are still together after maybe 15 years,up in scotland and have a daughter.
Funny times and funny people,I knew a guy who started out in Chungking,big tony,ex-para,he always told me he preferred shooting elephant seals and penguins in the Falklands to argentinians
We had a flat in Kennedy Town for 6 months,he used to drink heavily,one night he had a date with a pinay called Cora,I have a flashback memory of a heavily overweight Badly-tattooed,desperate-dan lookalike running around the apartment wearing nothing but a leather posing-pouchhis face lathered in shaving foam as he tried to quickly scrape the stubble from his face,he had a myriad of cuts and stuck newspaper to his chin and cheeks to stem the bleeding,he got dressed,opened a few cans of lager,got ratty over something and threw a full can out of a CLOSED window
which landed in the street below
wouldnt it be funny to turn the clock back just for a short time
