Always was a bit unwholesomeWeird bloke.
Peter Stringfellowwas once asked to move tables at Maze restaurant, at my behest initially. We were half way through a large and very expensive tasting menu when he took the next table with his granddaughter*, and such were the choking fumes of aftershave that wafted off him that first I, then several other tables complained. He was moved to a distant table, but you could still smell the fucker.
*May not have been his granddaughter

Some corkersin there. I couldn't look at work earlier.
dunno, I reckon that makes you sound worse than himthe hair was a bit much, but he seems to have basically beaten off (so to speak) the whole of 1970s Soho to get rich.
Nah, I'm just a cunt.He's a cunt's cunt.
I'm all for calling folks cunts at the drop of a twatbut asking someone to move cos you can't breathe due to excess stink is hardly cunty. Especially when that cunts a cunt like the Fellow of String
May the lord have mercyon Stringy Pete
hahaha(message ends)
Just be careful In Millets
That tune was playing yesterdayas I drove round The Shade roundabout in Soham with me shouting that line to anyone who'd listen :D
It was all anyone could smell.And when you're paying £100 for a tasting menu of exquisite beauty prepared by Sarge himself, you want to be able to taste it.
There are plenty of other reasons Stringfellow was a cunting cunt's cunt, but this time it's personal.

A rather more sad celebrity death;Anthony Bourdain has died. I had a lot of time for him.
No way?Shit. I liked him enormously.
And suicide apparently???Blimey.
Yeah,a terribly sad way to go.
I'm genuinely sad about that oneGlad I got to eat at Les Halles.
His Les Halles cookbook was one of the first things my now wife bought as a birthday present when we started going out. Holiday reading list has had a book added to it, Kitchen Confidential top of the list now.

Kitchen Confidential is brilliantHilarious, bonkers, fast-paced, drug-fuelled lunacy.
This. Very much this. Apparently he wrote it because he had to stop cheffing because his knees were fucked.
And now getting slightly tearful, FFS.OK, here's a thing. Let's have you. What celeb deaths have you been tearful about?
Me? Pricess Diana, Neil Armstrong, Andy Williams, David Bowie

Fuck yeah,John Peel too
Pratchett, Bowie,Prince, Pratchett.
Ah, yesSir Pterry and also Douglas Adams

Pratchett made me sad, as did Ian Banks.

Actually yesIain M Banks in particular. The fact there'd never be another Culture novel hurt
Yeah.His last novel was fine (the one with teh guy dying of cancer), but I'd have loved to read more Culture stuff.
very sad especially for his daughter Just received a parcel for MrsJamaddressed to a name she used when we met. She's out, and I'm incredibly curious to know who sent it.
Edit: It was something she'd ordered off ebay.
