MK and DS pictures

LOL

Sorry for my bad English, when I mean "Doing sport" I was refering to the walking thing, actually what he and his wife do is what we called in Spain "Walk very fast".

As long as my friend says, you can see them doing that all days more or less after lunch time around Kings Road in Chelsea.

I remember when he had the bike accident, he said he was fit because he had a personal trainer that went to his house to train him. Obviously he doesn't have that trainer anymore.

"Walk very fast" = power walking.

He walks to the chippy!

Hmm Mark has gained a lot of weight. He doesn‘t look so fit. So I think julio is right with his gossip he heard from people which are close to MK. 

He looks exactly the same than in 2019, and I'm happy for that, he doesnt look worst, so, that's good.

I have a friend living in Chelsea, not far from MK lives, and he said to me that is very usual to see MK and his wife walking by the street, doing sport, everyday. So looks like that's the way he's trying to be fit or at least control the weight.

Whatever sport he is doing, it's clearly not working... 

Darts?

LOL

But he doesn't live there anymore, does he? He moved out of the city, right?

His London home is near the Kings Road in Chelsea and his country residence is in Hampshire, near Beaulieu.

Is this not the guy he met in India 2005? And exchanged a guitar for some object I don't remember

Yes, and both met again in July 2019.

This guy is only Sachin Tendulkar - one of the most respected cricketers in the world of all time - in fact he is a legend!!
He is a keen MK fan and they both met and Sachin gave MK one of his bats and MK gave him a guitar!

I’d driven my wife and 8 week old baby 600 miles to see him, and carted a guitar neck in the hope of getting him to sign it. I had to make a split second decision to stop him or not. I kind of felt it was a once in a lifetime thing, bumping into your hero in the street so I went for it.

He could have said no but he didn’t!

Whereas I travelled just 42 Miles to see him at Bridport and didn't even pluck up the courage to ask him as I just froze! - Ingrid did it instead!!!

Franck Thuillier, the French fan who is writing those graphic biographies about Mark Knopfler, sent me this curious picture of Mark Knopfler, at Jam Studios in London, when recording the Extended Dance Play.

Looks like they used for the cover something that was at the Jam Studios wall 

[Pottel]

very nice find!

[Jules]

And that picture, made me remember I saw once a picture of Mark, Neil Dorfsman and Alan Clark, playing pool on MK's basement in Banks Street, New Yourk, while waiting for Bob Dylan to start preparing the Infidels sessions (as told on "Surviving in a ruthless world" book), and I found that picture on Alan Clark's website!

Now we have no doubts I have always been interested in the ideas of album covers. Thanks jbaent

It can be, but I wonder which one...

I remember than in a Tina Turner documentary there was a very short scene of 4 or 5 seconds where you can see Hal Lindes and Alan Clark rehearsing with Turner's band for a short tour opening for Lionel Ritchie, if I recall well. I saw that Hal posted a small capture of that on his facebook.
