Moron, a problem, maybe just arrogant? I have no doubt there will be some sort of sob story in his defense though. I agree it would make sense to wait, but sense and Duffy are not two words you use together often.

The term handicapped is still used over here, by official bodies as well as the public.

A gobby Swindon fan once said to me “I bet you come from Hirstpierpoint”. I really didn’t know what to make of that.

Does he have challenges though? Maybe he just likes a session like millions of others? It’s like when the famous get caught with social drugs, they bleat about the pressures of fame etc etc and check into a rehab clinic. Really? Or do you just like a line like seemingly most of the UK does but...

Good question. I have a bunch of books which are more for the restaurant history and philosophy than their recipes. Favourites are The Book of St John, FREA (a zero waste restaurant and bakery in my neighborhood which riffs off Silo - formally of Brighton now Hackney) and Black Axe Mangel by Lee...

Barry Burns used to own an amazing old school bar in Berlin with his wife. Juke box was amazing and had mix CDs from his various muso mates in it. Sadly they sold up and the new owners though what we really needed was white walls, nice furniture and toilets which worked and were not covered in...

Most, if not all, are simply saying he’s a wrong ‘un. Even you admit this is evident from the tape. Did he rape her? Who knows. Did he act in a truly vile way towards her? Make your own mind up from the tape. To me it’s compelling, and he has not denied the voice is his to my knowledge. As...

That’s fine. No need to apologize. I was one of the three thread starters though. As I said in my opening post, I really didn’t know what to say. These deaths are a bit weird, some upset you a lot more than others.

His own stuff isn’t, and I’m not sure if any of the many albums he’s recorded are blues rocks.
