Michael Buble?<BR/> Honestly how could you? <BR/>Everybody knows (there was even a feature in Amateur Gardening on the subject about three weeks ago) that Matthew Wilson is never without a iPod jam packed with Swedish 'Dansbandsmusik' especially from the Svenstoppen and Bingolotto eras (and Nolan Sisters Covers for when he has some down time). <BR/>It is also a well known fact that he yearns for an invitation to be on Strictly Come Dancing. He has already had soft soled weasel skin pumps and a transparent shirt made - they are stored in a locked vault in the RHS Headquarters at Vincent Square.<BR/>His hero is Anton de Bek of whom there is a large laminated poster in the potting shed at Harlow Carr. In 2004 a student horticulturalist was famously stripped of his dibber and dismissed for drawing fake breasts on the poster using an official RHS felt tip: spookily that student's name was: James Blunt. <BR/>Without Matthew's firm non-sexist disciplinary policy we may never have heard 'You're Beautiful' or 'Goodbye My Lover'. The inspiration for these songs, while unconfirmed, is pretty obvious to most musicologists.James A-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612559426759580502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-89898991785372027792008-07-26T14:40:00.000+01:002008-07-26T14:40:00.000+01:00Cleo, behave!it's not the same sort of love I thin...Cleo, behave!<BR/>it's not the same sort of love I think, but to be honest you are better asking Emma directly what it is she wants from M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-26368775307661690762008-07-26T08:22:00.000+01:002008-07-26T08:22:00.000+01:00Yoo goes neer Maffew and I skratch eyes out.
