Yes, but your Wikipedia entry is somewhat disappointing.

It keeps getting hacked Mr Chairman.

I'm sure I could get it up and running again.

It wouldn't be a long entry mind.

Something to the point.

Completely up his own arse and his widow diddled my son out of a few hundred pounds that he was supposed to have earned working for her, which he needed to pay for a holiday and which she swore me she'd pay.

My first memory of him was in the mid-seventies when I was a young lad and having luncheon with mother at the Casa Espana in Rusholme [get me]. He was loudly telling jokes of a sexual nature to the enormous enjoyment of his acolytes.

My last memory of him, just a few years before his demise, was sat on the steps of the Cornerhouse having a fag and on the phone.

In between, there was So It Goes, Factory Records, the Hac, Dry Bar, In the City and so forth.

He was a completely self-obsessed intellectual snob who was too clever for his own good. However, my, he was clever and his influence over Manchester, the Manchester that I grew up in, was quite unique and inspiring. Yes, he did change the world and it is difficult to think of a Mancunian/Salfordian who changed the face of modern global culture more than him. A genius is rarely, if ever, an angel or anything near it. With that self-important and yet creative attitude to life, In reality, he couldn't have been from anywhere else, could he?

He was a complete arsehole. Carried to a large extent by Gretton & Erasmus amongst others.
