Jean D'Arc. Crazy bitch went to war on a horse, pretended to be a bloke when it was against the law to do so and rallied a nation to arms and led them on the battlefield. I don't think she took any drugs btw.

4 flagons in the one night, ate two raw batter burgers for breakfast and was at the corner with his lunch at 7.30 for the lift. Terrible temper on him though.

oliver reed, legend

This dude - not my "favourite" (way too extreme) but probably out-crazies any hellraiser.

According to him, Sid Vicious was a "pussy". :pac:

You can't expect to be topping a list of hellraisers if you're swanning around sober for the last...so many years.

Olly Reed and Keith Moon went out in a blaze of glory!

Apparently, he first recorded this song while having a blackout. He's also supposed to have fathered over 50 children, which must have been noisy. :eek:

Him & Mother Theresa. They once fought each other for 4 hours for the last mouthful of a Quinnsworth Yellow Pack Lager can.

Sid, contrary to the myths that have grown around him, was a bit of an innocent eejit. This would be in stark contrast to world class debauched hedonists like Lemmy or Keith Richards.

...at the 'lark in the park' out in Dun Laoghaire. The "melee near the sea" as it was known. I'd accidentally drunk meself into a coma and missed the whole thing.

Very much so, on a number of levels.

LETHAL LADY

Well I would have my suspicions about anyone who lasted longer than thirty, maybe they were only faking it, although James Brown deserves a mention.

If anyone wants to learn how to be serious hellraiser, I strongly recommend this book. Absolute legends, all four of them.

Thats right, Mother Theresa messed up Ghandi with an obnoxious cocktail of Scrumpy Jack, Yellow Pack Lager, Babycham & White Spirits that he had to wear
nappies in his later years

I am uncomfortable with the term 'hellraiser' for a persons antics who knows what hell they raised behind the scenes.

Jack Nicholson, another dodgy bleeder him and roman I am however a fan of many devoted catholics who play extreme devil metal. rather their art portray the hellraising must be soft in that department if they need to act up irl, are you reading liamy g

Isn't Ike Turner the fella who battered Tina Turner?

How he could be anyone's favorite anything is beyond me. Unless you have a top 10 scumbags list.

Aye. That was just after "The scutter in Calcutta". Remember it well.

Defiler Of The Coffin

Keith Moon. The man showed complete disregard for the highway code when he drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool

Standard Toaster

Angus Mcnally at the height of his fame could have you killed. Some craic in Mullingar's Greville Arms back in the pre cocaine days.

Of course this was well before Derek Davis made the big time.

Didn't mean to shatter the dream! All I really wanted to convey was that in the Middle Ages everyone was basically living out a Hieronymous Bosch painting for most of every winter due to rye mould, just as everyone in urban areas (even the kids) were hammered on the drink in the Renaissance period because there was nothing else to hydrate with.

the purple tin

No females mentioned. Lindsay Lohan or maybe Amy Winehouse.

The great Richard Harris R.I.P.

Meself and the bro,Tommy (name changed to protect the guilty) used to run a pub in Brixton. Tommy loved his rugby, but, there was no way he could take the day off for the Ireland v England match,so he used to take the Friday off and go out to Twickenham for the "A" game.

So, Tommy is sitting in the pub two minutes after opening time, ("he'd had the breakfasht early,so he'd have a good run at the day") and who should arrive in only Richard Harris. He sits down at the bar and orders a pint. Tommy nods to him and pays him no more notice,not wanting to bother the man.

So, the two of them sit there in comfortable silence for the space of two pints (ten minutes), until Richard Harris finally breaks the ice. "So, what chance do you think we have today, or more importantly tomorrow?"

Tommy: "I wish it was the other way around, but I think we've a better chance today."

Richard:"Yep. Agreed."

So, with the ice broken, the two of them then proceed to get royally ****faced together and toddle off to the match together. Afterwards after another shedload of pints, the brother finally makes it back to the pub.

This story, by now has become a thing of legend in the Choco household. But, a lot of people don't really believe that it happened.

Cue forward to two years later, and a friend of another brother has come over for the match and is staying in the pub. He's come over early, so, himself and the brother decide to go out to Twickenham on the Friday to watch the "A" game.

They're there in good time, and they're just having a quiet pint, when next thing this roar comes across the floor "AAAHH Tommy, I was hoping you might be here...."

Richard Harris R.I.P.
