    Someone smacked Alan when he ventured into the Marquis on Salisbury Street on one occasion, because they recognised a relative hidden as a fiction in one of his stories. I have a letter from Alan somewhere in my archives. It's worth mentioning I'm transplanting my own writings into a sort of medieval strong-room above my art-gallery [see Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt Ground-floor & Mezzanine on UA-cam = 2 shorts = a virtual tour + at some stage there'll be a film on my artworks, murals, drawings & those of my wife, Suzie, a St Martin's Fine Art graduate]. My writings are voluminous by any standards - maths, logic, philosophy, linguistic foundations, psychology, art, travels in Laos, Vietnam, New Guinea, Egypt etc - as I always studied & wrote even as a bum [influenced by Jack London's People of the Abyss, which I carried in my pack in crossing Turkey, Iran, and so on]. I hitchhiked to Vietnam but was refused entry by the CIA & had adventures few would believe possible. Every day my book grows & is probably larger than Proust's magnificent novel - it's certainly the largest illustrated book since Leonardo. You guys need to know I was outed as the highest IQ ever in HM Armed Forces & I've written a vast study on genius that I doubt has ever been equalled - a deific script - with prose formulae unique in literary history & this out of a poverty-stricken shit-sty from hell. Don't forget to watch the film The Lost Genius by BBC editor-director, Angelica Landry, now on UA-cam in 3 parts. I went to ground 60 years ago, and now I'm out in the clearing, with a book 2 guys quite possibly couldn't lift. There cannot have been many self-taught kids sitting in Radford, circa 1960, copying out Goedel's Theorem in its entirety, in an attempt to upgrade his 'arithmetization' & receiving 10 professorial testimonials, mostly Oxbridge mathematicians, and winning a scholarship.

    Where the Wrights born and bred Radford... my great grandmother had 8 sons and 6 daughters.. she was a tiny woman bless her... my grandad sheared a bed with 4 brothers until 19 years of age.. his dad was a chimney sweep. He told me a story once about getting into a fight at school... the head master summoned his dad to come lol..... he was asked what happened.. he said it wasn't his fault... head master said put your hand out.... he did when he went to hit him he moved his hand... and did it again.. so he struck him across the face... infront of his dad... and for good measure great grandad pasted him aswell for making him go to school!!!!!!!

      The poor white people got pushed to nicer areas and the next lot of "undesirables" take its place. And it goes on and on. Just like what you see had happened in brookyln and or east/north London.
