Reply to: Clive Sinclair - at it again

[MarillionFan]

I saw him wandering around at the PCW show at Earl's Court in 1987. The top of his head was positively refulgent under the bright lights of the exhibition hall

Well let's see if it is all about brains? Nick is the same age as Clive so we can check out his 'bird' at the Xmas do and make our own conclusions.

Watched that play Micro Men again the other day. Great stuff.

Alexander Armstrong outstanding as Sir Clive. Not sure how much dramatic license was involved but if he was anything like Armstrong's portrayal of him, he was an egotistical monster with delusions of godhood.

Perhaps the resurection of the hopeless C5 tells us that he man is so firmly convinced of his own genius that such a good idea can't be kept down.

Corking missus he's got tho.

What's the long term prognosis for this relationship though? E.g. when he gets old and ugly.

the money runs out

and don't forget as ugly as John Merrick wearing lipstick.

...plus I ain't a millionaire

Just a moment; the UK economy is crying out for innovative people who can do useful stuff with technology. Sir Clive Sinclair might have had a couple of silly ideas, but he's done some good stuff too, and I don't think IT people should be mocking too much when a British technologist is trying to make a success of things. I'm not sure this idea will really make a lot of money, but I think Sir Clive could be very helpful if he was contracted by HM Government instead of some of the consultancy knobheads that currently 'advise' on technology. A giggle, sure, but a generally approving giggle and a round of for an eccentric who probably got a lot of us started in computing.

Wasn't he advising the govt at some point?

Unfortunately he always reminded me of the Bearded One.

If an "updated" C5 is the best he can come up with after 30 years in the wilderness, I think I'll stick with Bob. Reluctantly.

It's an improvement on the C5 IMO. Hard to say whether it will sell though. I'd prefer a lightweight normal electric bike costing peanuts myself.

Bloody hell, you aren't joking either:

Bloody hell, you aren't joking either:

The many women in his life have included Ruth Kensit, a cousin of Patsy Kensit, and actress Sally Farmiloe, from 1980s TV drama Howards Way, who was also linked to Jeffrey Archer.

But this year balding Sir Clive, a former Mensa chair with an IQ of 159, married a lap dancer and former Miss England 36 years his junior.

Angie Bowness, whom he met in Stringfellows, has now become Lady Sinclair thanks to Sir Clive's life peerage.
