    Brian Wilson. The genius of geniuses behind The Beach Boys. Had a few mental issues but battled back to do some amazingly good stuff later in his life.

    George Martin called him a true musical genius and the Mozart of his age. Not going to argue

    Great TV series. The 80s one. Think there was a remake.

    Sad news. One of the big "what ifs" of English cricket. Mind you, with our obsession at the time for having line and length medium trundlers, would he have been utilised to any degree.

    Maybe not the place for it, but is it just me who finds this story difficult to comprehend?

    I've seen performance car tires, I can only imagine the size of the bastards on a Lamborghini. A Lamborghini that's rushing to catch a fucking passenger ferry to England for training... fucken what? I know he'd been warned against flying, but helicopter's surely don't go high enough to fuss.

    What am I missing?
