[VVV] My absolute, hand on heart, God's honest truth opinion of old mate...and this is one that's placing his guilt or innocence in the current carry-on totally aside...is that he was at least two people.
One of them was an apparently quite talented, intelligent and seemingly up and coming young Steward. I honestly thought that in short order he would have been given the big chair and said so a few times to a number of my friends. (towels please, need to wipe the egg off my face).
The other was a version you'd see now and again who was an at times too short with/rude to the participants IMO, to the point of being vindictive with it & he happened to strike me as being a bit of a control freak as well. I strongly suspect he was more than just a little intoxicated with the power he had, whatever that may have actually been or that he at least thought it to be.
He was to me a human version of horse that used to race at Harold Park years ago by the name of Royce Hanover.
Talented but erratic, on his night brilliant, on other nights simply dreadful...& similarly the problem was that you just never really knew which one was going to turn up.
