Speaking of Picasso... This from the Holy Moly website

 

"When filming for the Orange Playlist in his Thames-side faux pimp suite, Lee Ryan (out of pop group Blue, for the benefit of our older DL'rs) started tinkling about on his piano.

 

A member of the crew asked him if was any good, to which the new Kenny Thomas replied:

 

"Not bad I spose, but I ain't no Picasso."

 

Fantastic. "

The only man to have been convicted in Britain of Nazi war crimes has died in Norwich prison.

 

Anthony Sawoniuk, 84, was serving two life sentences after being found guilty of murdering 18 Jews in the UK's first war crimes trial.

 

The former British Rail ticket collector was found guilty in 1999 of crimes committed in his home town of Domachevo, Belarus.

 

He lost an appeal against his conviction in 2000.

This is really annoying, I've been keeping an eye on some ageing writers - JD Salinger, Harper Lee and Robert Pirsig - all crudely in the same age bracket as this guy, but he slipped through the net.
