He was quite an a attraction.

No respect from me. Any filthy individual that masturbates in front of school age children in public ain't worthy of it.

I think the least the govt. could do is give him a funeral..
i used to give him a feed every now and then and he was a very kind person.

and the council should erect a bronze statue to him sitting on the corner.

But why the govt and why not a collection from his 'supporters'?

Tax payers dollars spent on a funeral for someone who likely hasn't paid any tax?
I don't think so!

Agreed. He should have dragged them into the back of a van like a normal person.

P.S. I thought Criminal had sold his bike to move to Aus, I had no idea he was broke and living on the street.

Why is it news when a homeless guy dies ?

I woulda thought this was pretty news-worthy.....

6 months preparation, 1 trip to Namibia, 15 days, 13 stages, 2 crashes and a whole lot of determination... worth it, as Chris Birch finished his first Dakar Rally today!

He is pretty stoked, a bit sore, heading for bath and beer, but very happy to have finished.

Chris did fantastically well and despite a crash that took him an hour to fix his bike, and another crash so close to the finish that knocked him out and left him rather dazed and injured, he pushed and pushed, skulled back a cup of concrete and finished in 27th overall.

From 178 starters there were only 98 finishers in the bike category - a 50% finishing rate.

Well done Chris!

That's fantastic but I bet Chris Birch has never wanked in front of a gaggle of schoolgirls!
