Now fully recovered. Unlike poor David Slough.

Good to see the iconic guitarist and tree climber is making something of a recovery in the Auckland Hospital today, the obituary writers can put down their pens. The Stones' tour continues, with Wellington next on the agenda. He should pop into Lamma where Nick the Bookman would welcome him with open arms.

Are we speaking of the same Keith Richards who was also something of a computer whizkid in Taipeng in the '80s-90s, who used to put together the menu and wines list at the old Capital Restaurant of the bankrupted Gerrard Sharman, worked as an unpaid legman for the late David Slough's many publishing disasters, and also did a stint with the irrepressible Ted Thomas now hitting the floorboards of Hongkong's legal stage with his litigation filed by his old granny/friend Clare Hollingworth?

Taipengshan

That sounds more like Keith Hassett ...

Filthy jeans...

That's the one.

The old story tells of the Grim Reaper sitting watching TV one evening when there is a knock on the door. It's Keith Richards, who says "sorry me old mate, your time's up!"

Can the matter of Ted Thomas, Claire Hollingsworth and litigation be properly clarified. The original post on this subject means nothing to those in faraway shores. Anyway, more interesting than Keith Richards.
