Maya Angelou. No contest. Triumphed over adversity in many many ways. Not a victim, just an inspirational survivor.

For a boy, Charlie Watts. Stoically stuck at a job he doesn't particularly like for years on end, dutifully made a fortune for his family, didn't diddle any children or inhale any dead parents, unfortunate penchant for naming children ridiculously but otherwise the Alf Tupper de nos annees, innit?

I'll bet Charlie Watts never had to rush to a gig on the overnight coal train after a full shift in the foundry, grabbing a greasy fish supper just before the show!

He did keep his day job for yonks after they were selling records but I fear it was a white collar job and, of course, we never had any of that messy "industry" stuff in London.

Would love to enjoy a nice grolsch and wear my lovely lumberjack shirt to carry some hay in a manly fashion but I'm busy in the s**sthole they call scarborough working atm. Roll on 4pm and I can drive home to the calm and serene quiet north.

That must be a horrible drive. Do you go 400/89 or is there some quicker cross-country route?
