Surrogate Father Figures

[PowerButchi]

Growing up I was never close to my old man, I am now, but not as a child. So growing up BBC2 used to show old Grange Hill on a Sunday morning, and watching it I wished Bullet Baxter was my dad. He was the King of "Hard, yet fair", to the point I've had the word "Bullet" tattooed on me. Him twatting Mr Hicks ("Slip on the wet floor, did you?"), or his speech about Vigilantism and why he can't let Vigilantes fuck up Gripper Stebson, he was a champion.

 

So, who are your surrogate father figures?

Commander Sinclair from Babylon 5. To the point where I had actually convinced my wife that our son was going to be called Jeffrey Sinclair Hall, but then it turns out we're going to have a girl, and then we talked about it again a few months later and it didn't seem so cool. But the next one will be a boy, so we'll see.
