You would have destroyed my dreams if you said she wasn’t
Miss Tiny Dynamite! Not as great as meeting Gwyneth Paltrow though.

Saw him with The Beat at a festival a few months before he passed away, it was pre-Covid I'm sure.
Another great loss. The silent icon. A guy who loved to be upfront writing and singing yet didn’t revel in the limelight of success.
All those personal struggles make/made him who he was, and he used them to create incredible soundtracks to our lives. RIP Terry

While we’re here RIP to the Mayfair as well. Was up in Toon last week and walked past where it used to be in Newgate St. Now a shopping centre. A perfect size 1500-2000 capacity place, strange shape with the stage on the ‘long’ side of a rectangular space. Always reminded me of the tragically departed Hammersmith Palais for some reason.
Just about to get on the treadmill accompanied by the Specials. ****, this one hurts.

Just took the young ‘uns for their haircut and proud they asked for The Specials to be played in the car.
Had a good sing-song to “Monkey Man” and “Message to you, Rudy”…..uplifted my somewhat bad mood this morning
A great singer, songwriter and political activist.
RIP Terry.

A Glaswegian chef credited with inventing the chicken tikka masala has died, aged 77.
Ali Ahmed Aslam is said to have come up with the dish in the 1970s when a customer asked if there was a way of making his chicken tikka less dry.
His solution was to add a creamy tomato sauce, in some versions of the story a can of tomato soup.
His death was announced by his Shish Mahal restaurant which closed for 48 hours as a mark of respect.
Known to friends and customers as "Mr Ali" he was born in Pakistan but moved with his family to Glasgow as a young boy before opening Shish Mahal in Glasgow's west end in 1964.

George Cohen, England right back in the 1966 World Cup Final, has died aged 83.
Only Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Geoff Hurst survive from the World Cup winning starting XI.

RIP George, forever a hero for 66. A seriously underrated defender, who George Best said was the best right back he ever faced. Sad that only 2 of the boys remain alive !
In addition, there are only 2 other members of the 1966 squad who are alive - Ian Callaghan and Terry Paine
