A big two page spread on the Sarf East London terror in yesterdays's 'The Times' newspaper. It is well worth a read if you can get hold of a copy.
Jim is taking his 'comedy' show (sounds that perhaps it might be too close to the factual and distressing for some to behold) , 'Charlton nil' on the road until the end of November, details on jimdavidson.org.uk. (I emphasise, I am NOT getting paid for advertising JD's 'wares')
I appreciate that he divides opinion amongst us CLifers, here is an example of his current state of mind taken from yesterday's article. The questioner mentioned that he looked fit despite having put on weight and the fact that he still loves a drink or three: QUOTE: 'My dick is shrinking and I'm growing boobs. I'll be able to work for the BBC in a minute, or The Guardian' UNQUOTE
.. may I say Jim, persona non grata, strictly not PC or otherwise, you're a diamond geezer and you're still not shy about speaking your mind

Considering the awards and gongs some people get for some of their PC charity work, it's just a shame JD's efforts couldn't be similarly recognised.
I met him in the interval and he saw my Charlton Tattoo and we got talking all things Addicks.
You have to admire how he has taken advantage of being arrested and not being charged . it must have been an awful time for him.
He was really panicking afterwards as he thought he'd upset Keith Peacock with all his short jokes about KP. Thankfully we never get those sort of heightist remarks on CL.
As Addickted said he does a lot for armed forces charities too so kudos for him on that.
Hitting his wife? Can't say that sits easily though.
The Bournemouth thing has always seemed odd to me but have been told that CAFC board at the time (80s?) didn't want him but AFCB did. Might be his version of things I don't know.
Brilliant then, and brilliant now.
Please remember it is an "act" or a "show". I doubt Chubby Brown says any of the things in his act to his wife in real life, or that Milton Jones's hair sticks up at the front when he is shopping in Asda.
Wasnt the slightest bit happy with Jordan C, it would seem he isnt his biggest fan.
The exception is when referring to politicians...
For the record, I don't agree with JD's "I'm Alright Jack" politics, but he's human, he's made mistakes, he doesn't set himself up as some kind of guru or saint. He does good things for the forces and other worthy causes, and he does it for the right reasons. He is funny and by all accounts amiable.
I don't see what's wrong with PC charitable work anyway - the Police Foundation and the Police Benevolent Fund are both deserving of our support.
