Gems Found Whilst Sorting Cupboards Out!

Needed a break just now from having a sort out so made myself a coffee, sat down and found these two gems in an old magazine:

 

USELESS BIT OF INFORMATION (1)

We've discovered ONE of the secrets of 15 years old Ben Howe's rise to success - he uses TEENAGE MUTANT TURTLE HERO SHOWER GEL!

 

and

 

USELESS BIT OF INFORMATION (2)

Michael's girlfriend Rita came rushing into the office before last week's meeting yelling, "anyone got any elastic bands?" I figured he needed the objects to secure his plug lead or for another mechanical use but NO! Turns out they were required to tie his flowing locks of hair into a ponytail at the back because he was feeling hot!

 

As an aside anyone want to guess which Michael was being referred to and what club he rode for?

Alas TWK & r&r both your guesses are incorrect.

No R&R it's not him either I'm afraid. Perhaps it'll be third time lucky as far as your guesses go? :wink:

 

If no correct answer before Monday morning I'll reveal which Michael was being referred to.

You will have to tell me the year-or I`m not playing any more :lol:

 

Think you'll find it was 1990. :approve:

The late Michael Warren Hackney

Indeed it was sir - he was a really great bloke and it was an honour to have known and worked with him. Much missed still.

 

I was reading those two gems in the Kestrel News - Vol. 7 No. 20 to be precise which was composed on my first computer, the very early volumes being typed up on a portable typewriter as I recall!
