I think the ship may have sailed, Anag. Not many on here seem to rate him at all anyway, so perhaps it's for the best.

A slightly different activity I suspect ! 😂😂

I don’t know if he really said it but I love the quotation that is often attributed to him:

”I’ve spent a lot of money on women, booze and fast cars. The rest I’ve squandered”

Shame. He has a lovely name.

I imagined a Wiredu as being another word for an oojamaflip, a whatsisname or a dooberry.

There is also the story that George had just done a talk and been paid £10,000, at that time George was in a “relationship” with the current or Ex Miss Word.

George said he had ordered room service and and the Miss world was lying on the bed in her neglige and the £10,000 was spread all over the bed.

The waiter served up the meal and then asked George “Where did all start to go wrong ?“

😂😂😂😂

I don’t know if the above ever really happened but George said it did and even if it never took place, it should have 😂😂😂

He told the story while inebriated on Wogan.

Yes, I think you’re right, there are a number of versions of that story.

Kinda ruins the rock n roll football vibe with a very book-ish girl with thick specs, who’s great at touch typing and word processing.
