Two quick updates from the half-gossip files:
One reader has written in to tell us that most of Kajagoogoo shared a house about a mile from Nilsen’s Melrose Avenue address in the early 80s, just off Cricklewood Broadway. While they can’t say for sure that Limahl and Nilsen crossed paths, they do know Limahl was no stranger to the Cricklewood area in the 81/82/83 period as he was always at the parties they went to there.
Elsewhere, Eric Idle has set the record straight about the origins of the Monty Python Spam sketch to a different reader. He says he wasn’t the one who wrote it. Palin and Jones did. So if he ever did stay in a B&B in the Stoke/Biddulph area that only served Spam on its menu, it’s just an uncanny coincidence.
Sadly, no-one has been forthcoming with any evidence that John Major and Vanessa Feltz once had a thing. Yet.
