I thought there was something that would come through that would say this is why we still play together because we still love it and get on so well still. What he seems to be saying is I am writing my biog to let you know that I am the real genius behind the Stones and we are only in it for more money.
I'll stick with the Dolls - I reckon the Stones ripped them off anyway.

The thing about Marco Pierre White that bugs me:

gotta agree on that one---I still rate him as the best chef to come out of this country ever(well apart from Floyd... and Fanny Craddock

But most people who earn a lot tend to spend a lot (as well as having to pay a hefty wedge to the taxman).
Unless he has a commodity or some gimmick that people are gonna keep shelling out for (think Rich~ass Branson and "the Dark Lord Amstrad"
) then I can see why yer celebs like Stephen Fry need to do such awful adverts to keep funding their lifestyles

My copy is well loved. You'll find the cardboard over-cover very handy; it
will get muddy.
