At least he didn't do a Kenneth Halliwell.

I take it George Dawes won't be the man with the scores this week then.

Kenneth Halliwell was the boyfriend of playwright Joe Orton. Halliwell found it increasingly difficult to cope with Orton's fame (and his own mediocrity). Orton wanted to end the relationship. Halliwell ended up murdering Orton and then killing himself.

Jackson was a probable pedarist who could sing and dance a bit.

Alfred Molina, slightly resembling Alexei Sayle, played Kenneth Halliwell in the movie Prick Up Your Ears.

Ah, thank you - for affirming that I'm not having dreams about a gay Alexei Sayle more than anything :)

Oh my..! That's a cruel twist.

I have never understood why people hang themselves when committing suicide.
Surely they know that there are far easier ways and less painful ways to go..

At some point during the hanging, whilst you are still alive, a thought must cross the mind which says 'I f**king wish I had never done this now'.

Give me a pack of Aspirin anyday.

Plus - Geri Halliwell claimed to be the lust-child of bi-sexual Kenneth Halliwell who used 'Old Spice' aftershave lotion. The Spice Girls were originally named 'The Old Spice Girls' but Simon Fuller insisted that they cut the 'Old'.
