I heard a few things, one of which was, with dwindling finances, he released a crass book about the murders called, something like , How I would have done it. The families of the victims then legally seized control of it and re-released it as "How I did It." It sounds extraordinary, but I'm sure I'm not making this up!

Whatever happened to Lewis Collins of The Professionals? He had real charisma.

I was watching the news tonight and nearly chocked on my tea when they announced they have found a new species of man. What a load of poo. I do not believe it so it got me thinking what happened to the men who made the Piltdown man?

If you mean Andrew Ridgeley (Wham) he's in Cornwall running a surf shop, I believe, keeping out of the limelight. If Andrew Ridley - no idea ;)
