Van is great live except when he insists on playing sax which he clearly is average at, grade 5 at best. Someone should take him to one side and say, "Van look, it's ****".
At my works Xmas piss up they were all going on about black actors. I mentioned Sidney Pottier and this woman of fifty asked me if he was the guy from "Rising Damp".
