THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RUDYARD YOUHOARE

                              THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RUDYARD YOUHOARE


Rudyard Youhoare was washed up by the time he was twenty.  

A life of excesses and a flamboyant relationship with alcohol, chips, fags and women had taken their toll. 

Although originally athletic and a keen sportsman, since he practically absconded from school at the age of fourteen, his attitude to his body had meant a steep decline in his athleticism.

The weight had started to build from an early age, and a combination of cider, sandwiches, biscuits and chips had enabled his waistline to expand at an alarming rate.
A string of broken relationships and pregnancy scares behind him, he led a reckless life inhabiting the seedy side and establishments of Neasden, Kings Cross, Achill Island and Soho.

A couple of brushes with the law made no difference to his boisterous roustabout behaviour, and although he has over the years made many friends, he has also unknowingly also made more than a few dangerous enemies. After a brief and unsuccessful attempt at being a self styled ladies man of Kingsbury Circle, he migrated to the fleshpots of Kings Cross and Soho, together with his partner in crime, Dr Theopolis Roylster. 

So as to establish a means to supplement his meagre income as a failed carpenter apprentice, he would arrange a nefarious method of obtaining cash via a number of criminal activities including petty theft, grand larceny and the sale of falsified documents to members of the construction fraternity.

After a short period working as a rent boy, he managed to establish himself with a local construction company where he acted as a runner for a local criminal who frequented a perilous public house called the Old Spotted Knob.
