Crazy Horse Invincible & Spaceman Africa....

Jeremy Brown from Northern Ireland may rue the day he decided to
change his name to Crazy Horse Invincible, partly because he did so
after one too many drinks, but moreso because his new identity is
proving more of a hassle than it should be worth.

The Belfast office of low cost airline Jet2.com recently refused to
accept one of his bookings on line, deciding that someone calling
himself Crazy Horse Invincible must be up to no good.

"Crazy Horse's name raised an eyebrow with the bookings team, so we
had to double-check," said Steve Lee, Jet2.com's director, of his
decision to request that Crazy Horse made a personal appearance at the
airline to prove his identity.

Crazy Horse, 26, decided to officially change his name with the
British authorities one night in 2003, after celebrating the victory
of his favourite football team, English club Middlesbrough, in the
company of a pal and several drinks.

"It was one of those nights - I think Boro (Middlesbrough) had won -
so me and a mate were celebrating. You have a few too many and you
come up with crazy plans. Mine were quite literally Crazy", said Crazy
Horse.

When the airline staff finally satisfied itself that all was in order,
Crazy Horse received his ticket and will now be able to travel to the
Czech capital Prague, where he and his friend, who now answers to the
name Spaceman Africa, and who apparently had no trouble getting a
plane ticket, intend to spend their Christmas holidays.

I met the man. In Prague, at a hostel, I was bartending. That man was crazy as a horse. Loved him. told me he didn't regret his decision.

Crazy Horse is a wonderful chap with a big heart. I met him in Guatemala in 2008. He may still be found on one or another of the Pacific beaches.

Crazy Horse Invincible is a wonderful chap. I had the good fortune to make his aquaintance in Guatemala. He can still be found livin' large on the Pacific coast.
