    Had to do some work at a hospital in Baltimore, taxi took me through the worst ghetto I’ve ever seen in the states . Working in the lab had to go into the service corridor when two huge cops walked past with a huge black prisoner in ankle irons and chains. Dr told me they are specialists in trauma there because it was the worst city for gunshot wounds! Waterfront was ok but if you looked quarter a mile up each street there were flashing police lights every night . Didn’t wander too far of an evening !

    My cousin Gerry lives in Glen Burnie, Maryland. With her Yank husband, Tom a great guy. We took a drive into Baltimore to visit a meat supplier in a dodgy area. Basically do the business then get out quick. We passed a scene with a load of cops around. Someone had just shot his neighbour, then turned the gun on himself. Later the same day someone went into a hospital and shot a patient.
    Just seemed like a normal day in Balt.
    ps Annapolis is lovely.

    One of a kind, and I was proud to have him as a friend.

    Own a few vintage guitars. Including a 54 Martin D28, a 52 butterscotch Telecaster, 54 sunburst Strat and a 59 cherryburst Les Paul.

    I'd love a nice 4 bedroom house on Newland Park.

    Travels wise I'd love to do both the west and east coast of America. Part of eastern Europe.

    Being a sea lover I had 4 things I wanted to achieve firmly written in to my bucket list .. to swim in the wild with dolphins, manta rays and a whale shark, and also to do a cage dive experience with a great white. A couple of years ago while in Hurghada I achieved the swimming with dolphins in the wild one and have to say it was one of the most emotional experiences of my life, the fact that a pair of bottle nose dolphins chose to swim with me on a reef was brilliant, they stayed with me for around 40 mins before they'd got bored of me and with a flick of their tails disappeared, magical. The intelligence of these creatures is just something to behold the way they just slowed down to swim alongside me looking at me as if to say that's a queer looking bloody dolphin !

    Still hope to achieve the others once travel becomes easier, and achieve MY big 4 !

    The other bucket list things I'd hoped for was to see City in the top league - tick .. and to see City at Wembley - tick.

    That’s a really great list mate. Swimming with Dolphins must have been something you know you'll never forget. One of those things you can think about as you're trying to get off to sleep.

    I thought they were supposed to be things that are at least possible in theory! You'll be saying you'll get a USB connection in the right way round first time at this rate!
