I knew him over a period of 5 years and he was as sharp as a knife. Also tempting as it is to use Frank's sparky personality against him, he was never chanrged with the firebombing and has witnesses to corroborate his innocence.<br /><br />Smoke and Mirrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394458865900129179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-11423158133201520232016-06-03T16:07:03.018-07:002016-06-03T16:07:03.018-07:00I think anywhere were there is passion, there may ...I think anywhere were there is passion, there may be the odd chipped tooth, regarding Me Dinsdale. I don't condone that, but it is life. Mr Searle was clearly suffering some kind of mental health issue, or two. Which is fair enough, who isn't these days? He does seem like a genuine eccentric and outsider, and I feel for him. But I think he needed to speak to a professional rather than petrol bomb his 'opponents'. But then, he probably never realised that he had this particular problem, and not everybody else. Such is the big mixing pot of life.Martin Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590190801760284564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-52759577674531946962012-08-29T12:54:07.621-07:002012-08-29T12:54:07.621-07:00It's a strange allegation -- one so strange th...It's a strange allegation -- one so strange that I can't help but wonder why he'd make it unless he'd genuinely heard something, unfounded or otherwise. Searle spewed a lot of venom about a great number of people over the years, but typically there was a point to his arguments (real or imagined). <br /><br />But the Dinsdale thing is so striking because he never draws a conclusion; he merely says, "Here's what I was told -- make of it what you will." The mere fact that it's a story without an ending is what sets it apart from his other tall tales. This doesn't necessarily make it true, but it definitely makes it a most curious annecdote.ekmhttp://www.roulettefilm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-12775877822481851362012-08-29T12:39:25.804-07:002012-08-29T12:39:25.804-07:00Mysterious indeed, but can you trust Frank?
