    (Don't know if it's been posted already so mods, do your thang if needed)

    RIP Uncle Chop Chop.
    Mark Read died after a battle with liver cancer. He wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I've read all his books which showed a decent bloke running side by side with a complete pyshco.
    You'll be racketeering in Heaven.
    Here's some of his wise(?) words:

    The film about his life was fairly good, Eric Bana played the part well.

    Thanks for the post on this, this thread died a death because of the one on AH, posted two minutes after this, I swear.
    Ah sure. *tumbleweed*

    Yeah, saw the movie and read a few of his books. Turned his life around somewhat but was stiller a pure header.
    The books are well worth a read if you havnt already read them, he can tell a story that's for sure ;)

    Well, I think your definition of celebrity doesn't match the general consensus on this forum :)

    Well if Kim Kardashian can be regarded as a clebrity surely Chopper can.At least he wrote a few successfull books and had a film made about him.What did she do other than star in a sex video and get up the spout by a rapper?
