We can be heroes, just for one day.

Cick to enlarge

Heroes* yes, fictional** yes, but that's what I grew up with and what shaped the person that I am today. I believe that everyone needs a hero, whether fictional or not ( I tried to keep to the 'fictional' remit, if I included real life heroes we'd be here for days and I still left some out)

To most the collection may seem eclectic but now looking at what I have chosen, to me they all have one thing in common , they all are fighters for the 'people' and perhaps I didn't realise that till now.


* Yes they are all heroes and not a single heroine, of which there I know there are many.( or is that like actors/ actresses and they are now all 'actors' so there are no heroines these days and everyones a 'hero' ) But I was born with an XY chromosome and I like 'manly things' . A very good lady friend ( Hi Liz) recently asked me my opinion on epidurals in child birth, I told her 'I cannot have an opinion because I cannot ever relate to it, because I am a bloke, much as you have no say as to whether cricketers need to wear a box or not', and there you have it

Competition: Name the heroes in the photo's ( in the case of the books , the main protagonist) , The first person that does so wins a brisk hand clap from me and the brief glow that you beat someone else on the internet
