Neither in my book, however if there was a category for great character/quality maniac of the Keith Moon sty-lee, I'd put him in there
Hey what about a "Favourite alcoholic of all time" poll? see how Ollie fares against Burton, Harris, Hemmingway et al

<font color='#0000FF'>HERO!
No doubt there; the last Great White Party Animal.
All hail to the king! Died on the job beating men half his age in the fine art of excess; what a guy.
Came close to beatification when I saw him on that late night, "Lets-talk-middle-class-high-brow-bollox" show. Seriously well oiled, spoiling for a stramash and kissing the lesbian femenist writer; Priceless! Sprayed ma telly with ma special brew and almost choked on ma kebab. What were they thinking when they sent the invite out?
A genuine platinum rogue. Good work fella. If only we had more like him. We are drowning in entertainment that is an insult to mediocrity. My Chi is being fu*cked with, assulted daily by reality TV clones and failed soap stars with esturine whines, too perfect teeth and nicer skin than a Choir-boy. It is far past the time that real men were put back on the telly. Come back Ollie all is forgiven. Down with the shiney, whingey coiffed army of effete Z-list wannabes; lets dig the old bugger up and stick him on BBC2. We could mount him in a striking pose and have a recording of all his classic 'bon motes'.
I am certain it would be more entertaining just looking at his death's head grin and sly wink than sitting thru yet another "celebrity" mutual stroke fest!
Infact, I feel a letter to points of view forming in my spleen......

Ollie Reed, used to drink in the Chequers in Farnham (Surrey) when around our way, a fine man when sober, an even finer one when not. Watched him put out the fire using only the contents of his bladder, it was a big fire. Stank something rotten but seriously impressive, such volume.
Could be a bit of an a'hole when closing time arrived, plus the people he came with had a nightmare, always the same group, why they did it I will never know, I would have shot the old git and been done with it.
So my vote is for hero.

<font color='#000F22'>Ollie Reed and Keith Moon used to go drinking together quite regularly.
They also heartily enjoyed dressing up - usually as Nazi Generals - and then consumed masses of booze. Brandy IIRC was a fave.
Keith Moon's biography has many tales about the two of them on the lash.
Fantasic boozers the pair of 'em but compared to Dylan Thomas or Hemmingway or even Ken Kesey or Jack Kerouac?
May all of their their glasses remain full eternally !!

I heard that on the day he died, him and a bunch of drinking buddies that he had only just met, drank a spanish bar dry of beer and then started going through the spirits
Ollie then decided to challenge all comers to an arm wrestling contest - beat most of them then dropped dead.
I couldn't think of many better ways to go than that
hero through and through

Charge: Tierney; Erroneously entering a post under a false flag, whilst being chief combatant/protagonist is said thread.
Plea for Mitigating Circumstances:
WO2 Oliver: "None, Sir; the defendant is a complete and utter Muppet and deserves a damned good flogging.....with a 2 metre hose!!"
Tierney: (having been marched-in, removes cap, faces front, stands to attention in 'show-clean' number-twos) "With respect to the bench, whilst this posting was indeed in the wrong section, might I proffer the news that Ollie could drink enough to fill Stoney Cove, umpteen times over - ergo diving related?!"
Bench's Verdict: Twat! Guilty as charged! March him out and take him down (Tierney taken under close-arrest and confined to barracks by WO2 Oliver shouting 'Double'!)
Sentence: Tierney was dishonourably dischared from Surface Interval and dismissed the service. Port Fine disallowed as being 'too lenient'.

<font color='#0000FF'>My missus met him in Guernsey when she was working down there. Said he was the most vile, loathsome person imaginable. Got completely plastered, swore everyone out of the hotel bar and proceded to stack shot glasses on a pool table and fire the cue ball at them, smashing the lot.
End of the night, couldn't give a crap and just threw down a wad of cash as if it was nothing to do with him....

I would generally start off saying to the CO:- "Good morning sah, nice day for a Hanging/flogging" dependant on the nature of the offence.
In this case i think a flogging would suffice.
