I have an acquaintance who swears blind that he met Mike Hoare in the early 80s in the Northern Territory of Australia.

When he was supposedly meant to be in jail.

It’s possible…..I thought he died decades ago, turns out the dude just died last year…at age 100!!

Mercs are like junkies.
Total loser nobodies unless they are still alive after x number of years, then they become geniuses for some reason.

Since I could never pull off being an old Merc, mnaybe I will write a bunch of shit, stage a bunch of my friends dragging me out of a crack house...shoot saline water up my nose pretending it is narcan and then get me a literary agent.
100 is pretty impressive for a guys whose plan was thwarted by someone being a dick at an airport
