Electric Dreams
Pre the Porsche Kevin from the Apprentice used to borrow his mum’s ford fiesta.
To impress the west-country girls he used to pretend that the car had electric windows. Kevin did this by winding down the windows with subtle little hand/arm movements and by imitating the noise of an electric window :/

I honestly thought that he was a comedy plant.
A sort of more spasticated version of Mat whossisname from Little Britain.

His attempts at taking the comparison in good humour
on the BBC2 show were hilarious. Keep shouting it at him in the street people, he'll lose his mind very soon.

The West Country girls were actually wowed

Is his knob
really as huge as it appears on that album cover? It looks like a football sock with an aubergine in it.

My only comment on this
is that the one in the middle is doing something off-putting with her hand.

The pic was from her days in a pop group called Topless
I will continue to search google images for said "topless" and report back. Possibly.

Shane MacGowan...
8 o'clock this morning making his way along Oxford Street. The last time I saw him in the flesh was at the Warrington, Maida Vale about 25 years ago. Sadly I have to report that he has diminished physically since then, as have I, although I do still have my own teeth. He was wearing a black suit and a top hat and didn't appear too wasted.
dixon_cox 10:21, reply
fof worked with him recently. He was very nice and polite.
then he drank a bottle of gin in half an hour and turned into a cunt. And dennis wise's brother is called ernie.

heh, now much as it tiggles I can't believe that
you'll be telling us he has an auntie dub next

I saw him in Wagamamas in Dublin a few years back, knocking back the drinks
falling downstairs to go to the toilets and re-emerging 40 minutes or so later, utterly, utterly wasted. Apparently he wears a prosthetic gumshield to give the appearance of no teeth as he had them fixed a couple of years ago under strict instructions from his then fiancee (she looked like that mad bird from eastenders who phil mitchell was going to marry)
paddy_odoors 12:01, reply
the gumshield thing is bollocks
utter bollocks. His teeth are as bad as ever. And that's straight from the horse's mouth.

Is he still with that Victoria girl he's been with forever?
The one who co-wrote a book about (the then living) Kurt Cobain and recieved death threats and accusations of stalking from Courtney Love as a result.
popfiction 12:48, reply
yes he is, Victoria Clarke I believe
she can be found most saturday nights in Le Cave or Joys late bars, enjoying the company of young men while, no doubt, he is bolloxed in a gutter somewhere. She loves the idealism of being his fiancee but in reality everyone thinks she is mental for going out with a butt ugly alco (albeit a talented one)
paddy_odoors 12:54, reply
Mentioned before but...He was once detained *in* Europa Hotel by staff
til a guy I know paid for damage to the room running to several hundred quid. Spilled booze, piss and, I believe, fecal matter were casually strewn around the room. My acquaintance had to accompany Shane around and ensure that he showed up at the gigs etc. As they sat in a limo, the toothless one pissed himself - obviously soiling the seat, too - and made no comment on this fact whatsoever.

Go drinking in the Boogaloo in Highgate any time, night or day and he’s usually in there.
You should have asked him how his rider list ended up in a skip full of gay codpiece seconds in Manchester about 4 years ago.

Him and Pete Doherty did the music quiz one night I was there
both on their own at opposite ends of the bar: IIRC one came second and t'other third. Bernard Butler was there too, but didn't participate.

Did I dream it, or are they flatmates?
Or is it just a bizarre sitcom idea?

Bernard
co-wrote most of Tricky's new album but Tricky has told the PR company handling it that he doesn't want that mentioned anywhere as he feels it may damage his shiny bright street cred.

i thought you were referring to bernard bresslaw of 'carry on' fame
he was my ex girlfriend's parents neighbour, didn't realise until i saw he had co-written Tricky's album then the penny dropped

Back in the mid 90s
the Evening Standard reviewed a Tricky gig accompanied by a large photo of Jerry Hall, oddly captioned that she'd 'performed with Tricky last night.' By the West End Final edition the pic had been replaced with one of Terry Hall..

Appearances
can be deceptive. I was living in Helsinki for a while back in the 80s and the Pogues were doing a big gig in the town centre. The Finns, who are no mean slouches when it comes to drinking, were extremely impressed by Shane's consumption of a very large personal rider of a case of beer, two bottles of vodka and two bottles of red wine. He managed all that before taking to the stage.

Which brain dead sleb said this -
The singer even compared herself to the royal, adding, "I saw the film The Queen and the way she wanted to go and be by herself, without all the bodyguards. I identified with that in the sense that, although I'm a public person, equally I absolutely love my anonymity." It was a fucking film you dumb twat.

"She epitomises what girl power stands for."
What, because if the Queen had a brother, he'd have automatically got her job?

Not really beauty
So, Dove's Real Beauty campaign has been airbrushed to make the real women acceptably real looking all along, then . And it's no co-incidence that despite having no experience in media (but quite a look of Mr Editor's wife) the Account Director in charge of the campaign jumped ship in a very strange career move to run The Independent's commercial side. Hmmm...
