One imagines Robert is above such things.

(IIRC she said on Loose Women that the success (or longevity) of their marriage was due to the fact that they barely saw each other.)

Is the origin of the band name still a mystery?

Certainly for those of a Franglais persuasion- ZZ Top easily translated into the diminutive of “Richard” followed by “Head”…

Wiki states:

'Gibbons particularly noticed B.B. King and Z. Z. Hill and thought of combining the two into "ZZ King", but considered it too similar to the original name. He then figured that "king is going at the top" which brought him to "ZZ Top".'

Anyone want a crack at the origins of the names Booker T. and the MGs and/or Del Amitri??

To be honest, I'd never heard of him. Mind you, having watched those videos, I don't think I missed anything, comedy-wise. Too bad he died, but we all have to do that.

Aww, that's a real shame. He was one of the super laid back comics who didn't lay into anyone just for their beliefs or politics and just generated funnies out of banter. 58 is no age these days.
