Well, regualr doses of compassionate hatred from whippet-thin political comic actor, Russell Beard, should do more than fill the yawning gap.

Come to the piano, Elton: your country needs you. <br /><br />The ridiculousness of the Brand article becomes even more obvious if you substitute the name Tony Hancock or Peter Cook, two similarly troubled, depressive, addictive personalities. I don't imagine Cook would have claimed that it was the tumult of our fractured and unhappy planet that lay behind his determination to drink himself to death. Having just read again Harry Thompson's excellent biography, I imagine Cook would have greatly enjoyed the humbug of people who had never met him emoting on Twitter and Newsnight and being paid to write cod psychoanalytical bollocks in the Guardian.<br /><br />As for …"we must be more vigilant, more aware, more grateful, more mindful.", well I am sure that was right at the forefront of the bearded sage's mind when he and Jonathan Ross picked up the phone to describe to Andrew Sachs what he had done to his granddaughter.<br /><br />ex-KCSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-31209083458268361112014-08-12T22:41:54.860+01:002014-08-12T22:41:54.860+01:00''...to calcify the certain misery...'...''...to calcify the certain misery...' eh? <br /><br />This young man will go far.
