"You're So Unhip It's A Wonder Your Bum Doesn't Fall Off"***
Once again, Robbo is at sea in the world of pop culture.
Our great pal Sadie has been Pete Doherty blogging again lately and finally prompted me to ask: Who is Pete Doherty?
In response to my professed ignorance, Sadie passed on this useful info:
Pete Doherty is a MESS, and he's most famous for being the ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss. He was there when she got taped doing cocaine, blah, blah.
This, of course, provokes an immediate follow-up question:
Who is Kate Moss?
Anyhoo, all this is by way of getting to what I wanted to say, which is that personally, I think this Doherty clown looks rayther like Frodo Baggins' grifter cousin.
(***Bonus points for spotting the quote, of course)
My gay boyfriend thinks he looks like Mr. Bean.

Five points to Don.
So where did the waiter get a name? I don't remember that in the book...
