Ross Kemp's tears cure cancer. It's a pity he does not cry.

Some of you may be aware that I like Ross Kemp. Not in a perverted sexual way, but his choice of work closely matches my interests in entertainment. For those of you who do not know much about Ross Kemp, you should start by visiting his Wiki-page. Putting aside the fact that he is a classically trained actor who is as well suited to playing roles penned by Shakespeare as he is at playing SAS hero's, Kemp is a seriously cool dude. In my little world, he ranks as tougher than Chuck Norris, Mr T and Vin Diesel all put together. From his early days advertising Fruit 'n Fibre for Kellogg's to his acting in Eastenders, and Ultimate Force: Kemp has never failed to impress. To reaffirm his tough stance he even goes and hangs out with Gang's and spends his holidays with squaddies in Afghanistan.
I am currently reading his bestseller 'Gangs' which accompanies his BAFTA winning documentary series "Ross Kemp on Gangs", hence my compulsion to scribe this post.
Why am I writing this in a beer blog you may ask? Well basically Kemp also likes to sip a few a few beers down. His local used to be the Tower Arms in South Weald, Essex, but as he now lives in Battersea I assume he no longer drinks there. I am also proud to announce that Kemp has volunteered to be the standover man and enforcer of CAMEL. Beardy Weirdies should be very afraid!
You can find Kemp's official website here. I am also willing to overlook the fact hat he was beaten up by his wife, Sun editor Rebekah Wade. She must be a hard lady.

Also for those of you who may be interested, the Bangers and Mash I had for lunch was excellent and maybe on par with my steak and ale pie. The Thwaites Nutty Black was alright as well.
