Yes he did buy a 911 type with 4 wheel drive. I forget the model. Carrera 4?

RIP Tom Wolfe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44130788

I love his writing-The Right Stuff and Hells Angels are two of my favourite books.

Bonfire of the Vanities was seminal work on the 80’s excesses even if literarily-lite, unlike the Dickens novels it aspired to be.

Master of the Universe, what a phrase, still used today in the financial markets.

RIP DenmanđŸ˜«

Cheltenham Gold Cup winner and two time Hennessey winner including 2009 with the greatest weight carrying performance since Red Rum.

What a commentary too.

Noooo!!! Great horse. I’ll always remember the green colours fighting up the Cheltenham hill

He was second in three Cheltenham Gold Cups as well, and that after suffering from a heart problem after his win in 2008.

Anthony Bourdain, sad.

yes very sad- I am a huge fan of his programmes and cooking
his books are a good read.

Just read it. Mind you, he lived a very full and interesting life if A Cooks Tour and Kitchen Confidential were anything to go by

That’s completely fucked my day, I was a serious fan of his work, and his general attitude / approach to life.

He will be sorely missed.
