              Yes. With his bobble hat and all.

              All the others are happy to chat about their time in the Monkeys but he never will.

              Bit of an odd cove. I think he became a recluse.

              You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                She invented "Mistake Out", which later became "Liquid Paper". Not sure what Snopake is, but it wasn't invented by her.

                  I think ole Mike was sniffing his mother's Tippex from time to time.

                    He helped to create MTV, and had a new album out this year.

                    Not too reclusive...
