An orignal amongst pale copies - he will be greatly missed.

Marco Pierre White put it better than I ever could - or anyone else for that matter. So I'll leave it at that.
Posted by denverthen at September 16, 2009 1:25 AMA great man! And, I believe, a 2Lt in your Tanks for a while. On one show - in South Africa, while he was dealing with what appeared to be a shocking hangover - his cooking stove set part of the boat on fire! I'll raise a glass to him tonight...
Posted by ExSAInf at September 16, 2009 3:20 AMI wonder if he paid off his many creditors from his fail restaurant business, whom he left holding the bill whilst he skipped off to Spain to avoid the taxman?
You can never trust a drunkard!
So he could cook,big deal.
The man was a prize arse of the first order.
