He's over here working from tomorrow (Wednesday 16th) & is in our local club having a knock for the day on Thursday from 11m to 6pm which I've been invited down to, which is cool because its on the qt.
I might collect my son from school & take him down to meet the man.

I know a bit about the testimonial too, which I'm sword to secret about other than to say Jimmy had to pony up £250k up front to hire the Grosvenor out for the day. Serious amount of faces attending too. :john:
