Here is a collection of some of the most hideously ugly men ever to crawl out of the Lamma Swamps.

Actually probably the Island bar or somewhere.

This collection of snaps also includes some ladies who are not at all hideous. In fact none of them are. Don't beat me up.

How many of these people can you remember lurking in the undergrowth.

The scariest photos are as follows:

1. Nick Lovatt - with a very short beard and looking 20 years younger....
2. Simon Pindar - who's gory photo has just put me off my cup of tea...
3. Troy - that's the worse photo I've ever seen of him...
4. Ulrich & Dave Parkers - manipulated photos are too obvious...
5. Dennis - he still looks the same.
6. Dick Jones - ???
7. Frank Paul - is he 'naked' in that photo??

And of course you Keith, look lovely in all your photos....

Thanks for a good laugh!

Chris

Yep. its an oldie. I have known Nick since 1973-76?. That picture of Nick was taken later though, from memory it was about the time we both moved to Lamma in the mid eighties. I believe it was taken in a bar then called Rumours run by ex-footballer Billy Semple and his wife Annie. The bar was in Sunning Plaza Causeway Bay where Nick and I used to DJ/VJ.

At the time Nick was a highly regarded sub editor for RTHK/ATV (I think it was) and often appeared on the television presenting news reports. He was often seen on TV battling against the elements at Star Ferry in the midst of a typhoon 9, yelling at the top of his voice against the wind, dodging flying bamboo poles and grinning like a lunatic.

About six months after we moved to Lamma, Nick decided to give up his high flying journalistic career and "chill out" with the best that Lamma had to offer at the time.

Since then he has become far more famous than he would have been following a television career, after all, who remembers his famous buddy Julie Mullins today eh?

Unlike Julie, Nick found his niche and became a Lamma landmark. On many occasions, people holding parties on Lamma would include Nick in their directions, IE. "turn right when you see the Hairy Guy on the corner selling books".

Nick has never looked back since, I believe his only regret is that he can't buy bacon and eggs for $5 at the Lee Garden Restaurant (now Deli Lamma) any more.

One mostly unknown fact about Nick is he is a really great writer. Not only does he sell and recycle books, he could probably write one too. Sadly he is too bloody unfocussed to get it done.

However, lest you think I am being uncharacteristically nice about Nick, I include the following embarrassing picture to redress the balance a bit. (Nick is the kissy guy on the right)

Can you say Hi to Nick for me when you go by. Tell him I miss him (how sweet) and also say that Rich Dunning asked me to send hugs too if I could get in contact.

Coincidentally, Rich is the other guy in the picture above LOL.

RE: Clive the Pipe and Lamma Net,

Clive started Lamma Net the very day I left the Island. I think he was watching me get on the Ferry through Binoculars or something. I wish he'd said something and he could've taken over my sponsorship from HKE. Oh well.

I used to enjoy talking to Clive but his wife told me not to because it annoyed him. I think he likes his own space. If you want to get in touch with Clive your best bet is to try dark spots late at night. Here is a picture of him without his daytime disguise

He has a great sense of humour ( although not quite the same as mine ) and he often had me rolling off my barstool with mirth when he told some of his funny accecdotes, so I'm sure he won't mind this pic.

I have more pics of Lamma people and I will post them once I've rounded them up.

Sorry no table photo. LOL

If you don't believe me you could ask oldsters like David Slough, he knew it was me but didn't tell. David is very reliable about security matters. He used to publish a security and safety journal that was very dificult to open LOL
