Not seen him in ages; last I heard he had moved to Blackburn, he is not as deluded as he looks and was sorting his life out last time I spoke to him, he was doing some office work on some scheme or other, Michael was a one of life's casualties in a lot of ways but was never down. He was definitely special needs but was being looked after by the right people.
Hope he is well.
(we once took him out to see a live band and bought him a few beers; that night is forever ingrained on my memory!)
