As an addition, having this in your catalogue of achievements as an interviewer would be enough for almost anyone.

That is sad. I met him back in about 1975 when he gave the after-dinner speech at Langwith College on the occasion of the University of York's 10th anniversary. A charming man and an entertaining speaker.

RIP, Austin.

Absolutely solid as a rock, didn't need a 50 piece kit. Proper cool guy both in drumming style and sartorially. And he got married in Bradford!  RIP lad

I was chuckling at the news last night.

Just how much gear was Charlie shifting in the 70s that meant Keith Richards of all people had to have a word with him!

Ted Dexter back in the pavilion, aged 86. Certainly someone who lived life to the full.

The walking, talking miracle that is Keef. Docs have long since given up trying to work him out. His obituary has been sitting on the shelves for a good half century. Didn’t he fall from a coconut tree a few years back?

He did indeed.

I saw a pic on Facebook of his daughters. The caption said somethinglike, "these are the daughters of Keith Richards, said to be worth $X million. When they die, Keith will inherit the lot"!

Roger Stone.... former leader of Rovrum Council at the time of CSE scandal. My thoughts on Roger the dodger posted on here would see me banned forever from these fora.

A loathsome individual.
