Thanks to our bassist and manager being bookers for him, we got to play at all of his London venues in the early 90s, but I don’t recall ever bumping into him. I always pictured him as a kind of JP McManus type rather than an Alan Sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably a relief for them (as well as us) that he's almost certainly lost the upcoming election. Once that happens, they can fuck off to somewhere without inheritance tax.

CastAway 477 Posted May 9 Wasn't sure where to pop this, but this thread seemed appropriate: Ramón Fonseca Mora, co-founder of Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which was caught up in the Panama Papers leak, dead at 71. He and his partner and law firm were also generally caught up in a bunch of other corruption and money-laundering scandals and were associated with a bunch of despotic regimes: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-68986408 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 10,204 Posted May 9 Ok, you better copy wiki page of recent deaths in a single post. Fonseca is notable, but it's a bit cheap to copy it from wiki as you were genuinely breaking the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
