I've removed some of the health problems - he's always been deaf, impotence isn't really an issue (as George puts it "mind? It's like being unchained from a lunatic"), I suppose incontinence could go back, but it's a bit trivial, and feeling faint when standing up too quickly is somewhat vague...
I've moved the stranglers ref. to the end where it has a better context, and generally tightened it up here and there.
Also added ref. to his wife's book which details their marriage.
[edit] Sexuality
Technically, GM is bisexual, but let's be careful using terms like "coming to terms with his bisexuality" when referring to his youth. At that time, he was exclusively attracted to men. Tomandlu 09:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- techically, who gives a flying fuck, being raised in a time were being left-handed was deemed evil, surely any modern measure of his sexualiity isn't correct or appropriate 05:41, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

- technically, I'd agree :) Tomandlu 19:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fishing and masturbation
Not really noteworthy enough to include IMHO, but if anyone does put it back, please note that it was a large trout (not a salmon), and the reference is G.Melly's book, "Hooked".
