I heard that he that he wanted do a Neighbours cameo lmao. Sounds a bit dodgy to me. There’s a part of me that sort of hopes this is not true lol.

Good work, Tim. I’d forgotten about that one. And it only serves to further demonstrate the brilliance of Tom K.’s post, combining key ingredients of the Ballardian mythology into a tasty … um … stew.

Re JGB’s alleged talent with bouef Bourguignon, this from a scarcely more believable (but genuine) food-related interview/analysis from the Observer a couple of years ago:
“I live alone and eat rather modestly when I’m at home. I’m not very good at cooking so I like to go out to dinner with my girlfriend Claire twice a week[…] I’m not as keen on beef as I used to be but I still enjoy a nice juicy steak.”
