What have:

Brandy (R & B singer)
Keith Moon
Sid Vicious
Matthew Broderick
Laura Bush (First Lady)
Don King
& Caitlyn Jenner

All got in common? They've all killed at least one person.

For proper naughty though look up Woody Harrilson's Dad

On a small holiday/caravan park isn't it? I think a friend of mine stayed there and bought some of his candles. He couldn't light them, covered in phlegm they were!

It's in a place called Lady Heyes. I spent ten minutes in that shop telling the FIL that the proprietor was the spitting image (pun intended) of Bob Carolgees. FIL just pointed to a massive noticeboard full of celeb photos 😳

I really wanted to shout "you're nothing without the dog"

I think Bob is more than just a celeb candle shop proprietor and stuffed dog molester. IIRC, he's actually the UK distributor for ****ee Candles.

I met Bob Carolgees in the Pagoda Chinese restaurant in the village I live in. Sadly no longer with us, (the Chinese, not Bob obvs.)

Its a really quite decent Indian now though, so not all bad.

Yes, well pleased with that. The food is nothing short of average, but it's not expensive, and you can go in for a few drinks now without having to get a second mortgage.

Anyway, back to the topic....
