AK on JP etc

[Colin]

And of course he did witness terrible things during his travels in Africa. But JP did once say that one of the great mysteries of life was why AK was so angry, so clearly it's something that goes way back....

Vine understandably chickened out of probing AK's infidelity - bad journalism, as the listener has no idea at the end of the feature whether or not AK did cheat on his partner, which is the whole crux of the biscuit as Frank Zappa would say ... I prefer AK's lovely sis, Liz, meself ...

He also implied strongly that Jools Holland and Paula Yates spent their Tube wages on cocaine.
