The man whose head expanded

As I was reliably informed by a friend who made the mistake of biting off significantly more than he could chew, the secret of choosing a good specialist subject for Mastermind is to ensure it's not too broad (though broad enough to satisfy the producers). On those grounds, it's a fairly brave man who decides to go with "The Life And Works Of Mark E Smith And The Fall"...

By coincidence, we're off to Prestwich this weekend - wonder if we'll catch sight of the area's most famous resident? Probably not, as we're not planning on going on a pub crawl or spending time hanging around in cheap bakeries.
