    hey,

    anyone remember a story about a homeless tramp from primary school? I have been racking my brains trying to work out his name and for some reason Solomon keeps popping up!

    I remember he once said to a few guys as a bet for dinner that he would stand in a field all night with no heat. A candle was lit a mile away in a window of a house all night and when it came pay up time the guys said he had cheated and got heat from the candle.

    It was then him who had to pay out and so took a loan of a friends house and brought them all around for dinner. they waited all night for the dinner and eventually asked Solomon(??) where it was- he replied that it wasn't ready yet because the candle he had stuck under the pot wouldn't heat the dinner--- ahhh bless!

    Anyways, a picture or a little more info like second name or something would be a treat!

    cheers boarders
