Tell you, it was a very "funny" and strange situation with him back in the day. He had just started to collect again but had to hide his new 45s at home because of the girl he was back then living with.
About every two or three weeks he phoned me to "sell up" again, only to start again the week after..really really strange. Had the pockets full of dosh one week only to be totally stint the next week. Always had the next big deal and business idea just around the corner. One of his best was when he (not being able to talk German) founded a business language school shortly after the wall had come down in the wild east. It lasted a month if I remember correctly. Great memories.
