Case in point... hilarious Rolling Stones video of Jagger dancing with the sound track removed & other members of the band looking at him like "You fucking plonker".

Jagger looks like a bell end full stop.

No age at all - I wonder how much his heroin addiction played a part in pancreatic cancer. He did seem to get the bum deal of the Morrissey being and arse and Marr being an arse in crime.
Addiction meant he had to settle for the best part of fuck all.

Like Simon LeBon and Bob Geldof , he has a complete inability to dance in time with the beat.

Probably none at all unless it was coupled with alcohol abuse.

Martin Amis.
I was given a copy of Money by a wonderful woman called Christine and it's one of my favourite novels. London Fields is alwo worth a mention.

Turns out Harris died on the 10th of May and has already been laid to rest. Strange, but I suppose it denied a baying mob its hour?

Seems like a good decision to keep away the gorpers, the Red Tops, and the vigilante types wanting 5 mins of fame.

☹️ His book was brilliant.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
