Quote of the day

"In the north west it rains and it rains. And yet we managed to produce the industrial revolution, trade union movement, the Communist Manifesto and even the goddam computer. Down south, where the sun never sets, you took all our money and what did you produce? Chas and fucking Dave".

RIP Tony Wilson - "part glib newsreader, part cultural curator, part exuberant nuisance, part revolutionary warrior", as Paul Morley puts it in the Guardian obituary. Egotist, self-publicist, buffoon, twat - but always with his heart in the right place.
