I concur. I hope he makes it through.

Has DH really not hear the story about Danny Baker at the 100 Club before? I have known of it for a long time and I have never met Mr Baker, never mind counted him as a friend.
On the other hand the comments […]

A long, long time ago Reg Dwight changed his name by deed poll to Elton Hercules John, so for a very long time it has not been a stage name, but his official name.

Frankie Machine was my introduction to Don Winslow and that book got me hooked.
I have to say I like pretty much everything he’s written except for The Force. California Fire & Life also dragged a bit, […]
