    I gather you were an optimistic and ambitious twenty two year old when that picture was taken.

    Ha - I thought it was 'pre-rehab', when you were on a diet of meths, methadone and.... KFC! However, I especially like how your nose back then doubled as a bell-end.

    Geoff was right, that pic was taken when I was still a youngster, with all my life in front of me, as well as a fair bit of nose.

    I wasn't born with that conk, I had "nose augmentation" at the same Hardly Street specialist that Karl Malden went to. He chose the arse-nose, and I went for the knob nose. He enjoyed a very successful film and television career, while the films I starred in were rather more "specialist".

    My "co-stars" were so convinced it was real, they insisted I always put a condom on it. And what you see in the picture is the result of a latex allergy. You have to admit that apart from the rash I was something of a stunner.

    Nice one, and thanks for the info. If you're interested, I've been messaged by a couple of frustrated housewives (one is a Russian, from London), who aren't getting any sex, saying they'd love to 'borrow' your nose, and I remember you mentioning that you don't mind the smell of sardines.

    If you're interested, PM me for details.

    Sounds like a straight cut gearbox from the whisting in the background. Reminds me of the quick Minis I had. All modified by me.

    You're right, I LOVE the smell of sardines! Although living in Chorley I have to, or live a very lonely life

    You didn't say where the other lady comes from, but I may be interested. Not the Russian one though. My (limited) experience tells me there are two types: The stunners who hang off the arm of gangsters (get in with them, you're likely to wake up dead), and the ones that look like shot putters, who say they're getting no sex but really they are, they just didn't know it, their suiters coming and going unnoticed.

    Ah that's a shame. This one has a penchant for mature (verging on ancient) bald-headed men, blessed with 'substantial necks', and passion for building Tupperware boxes. Could you not make an exception, just this once?

    I suppose so. It would give a welcome break for everybody's Chorley favourite, Mrs. Anne Chovy. She is in such demand, that last time she accidentally did a poo on me. She told me she's so busy she doesn't know whether she's coming or going

    And the Tupperware boxes are just for organising my collection of wigs. Not really a passion, that would be weird.
