Not read that one Eddie but if you like that sort of thing read Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis about his life before and during the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They might not be everybodies fav band but chuff me sideways it is an amazing book.

A few years ago I might have given that a go, but Vic is no longer funny. In fact since he hooked up with lingerie model Nancy Sorrell and shortly afterwards turned up alongside her on I'm A Non-Entity, Get Me Out Of Here he became a deeply uncool embarrassing boil on the face of British comedy. His new wife truly is his Yoko Ono.
Still it all goes to prove what I said all along - Bob Mortimer is / was the comedy genius in that relationship (see seperate post on the YouTube thread)._________________ The advert above is nowt to do with me!
