Someone like him should be our Ambassador for our sport.
I think he would do us harm sadly and be seen as an anachronism. We need someone more "modern" and normal

I have spent a great deal of my adult life with people such as Guy, In fact I work for someone who also spent most of his life in Africa, and I therefor consider him to be quite normal, the other half informs me she can see a lot of similarities in me,the guvnor, and Guy Wallace.
I do understand what you're saying though, as it is not how I or we see Guy, but how others may look upon him.
and that, unfortunately has become "normal".
I have never felt part of "modern" society, and as it becomes even more restrictive and misinformed I don't see it happening any time soon.
Indeed. In some ways we need someone who would be seen as a surprise to the "normal" people that he /she held such views - someone like a slightly younger Attenborough or Peter Scott

The clue in the post is,“Like him”, as in similarity, not in age or exact copy .
Maybe a supercharged Lupton chap?
I think Seymour had worn somewhat better by the time he reached Wallace's age in the film (he died aged 90 in 2004). I doubt he was in the habit of downing entire bottles of brandy in one sitting but he did partake of his home-brewed beer and cider.View attachment 143008I guess the lifestyle and the era the came from moulded persons of very similar character and outlook. the physical resemblance is astounding, as you say "they could be brothers"
A vanished breed I fear. If I make it to 70 I think I'll take up pipe smoking as a tribute.
I would be trying regular discharges of the 416

very fitting, how long have you got till then?
Only 52 now. Tried a pipe in my twenties briefly when I was a smoker and liked it, so that shouldn't be an issue. Peer pressure forced me back to fags. I hope you can still get Gold Block or Three Nuns in 18 (gulp, is that all) years time.
I've already got the braces. My hat is well on the way to a similar state of decrepitude and without regular attention the eyebrows and mutton chops would be there already.
Hey Rid well done for catching up with an older or should I say younger former associate of mine. Haven't seen him or Isla (landowner?) for a few years.☻

Thanks for that Riddick ,something very enigmatic looking into his eyes. no words can describe it.
Easy to describe it as an old associate, those eyes are death. He was not playing pasty in Oman and certainly not in Rhodesia, believe me,I knew him.
Thank you for posting that.
I really enjoyed it and can totally understand where he was coming from and going to!
I shall be spreading it far and wide to all my family and friends.
I also particularly like the poem and as my Mrs said is 80% me to a tee!

That was what struck me most about him in the film.
