The high points of his career include being hit with a golf club by Ted Turner and introducing Boomtown Rats frontman to British press baron Robert Maxwell with a “Bob, this is Bob...” Blackadder-styleHe trained as a lawyer, though he never practised. He trained as a private pilot though he thought that him flying a plane was like giving the keys to the highway to the worst learner in driver's ed.He lives in Acton, not that strip mine of the soul in West London, but a leafy village in the ancient English county of Suffolk, where the sound of woodpeckers on 'fully automatic, safety's off' attacking insects under the bark punctuates the relentlessly demented lowing of wood pigeons.lihat lebih sedikit
