Was reading about Buster here today.

What an amazing character and there are a couple more stories about him on the site.

He also found fame when The Zimmers, who had a combined age of more than 3,000 years, scored a hit single last year with a cover of The Who's My Generation.

I don't recall hearing of the Zimmers, but I hope they're more than a quartet ....(?)

They are quite a bit more than a quartet. You can find them on Youtube, I think.

Ha!Put two and two together...Buster is also one of the Zimmers! If you watch to the very end of the Zimmers' "MY Generation" video, he is the one who flips the bird!

I've seen blokes like him at every club & festival I attend.

If he's telling fibs, he's been doing it for a few years & hasn't been caught out yet by the bloodhounds of The Press.

I hope my comment is worth it as it took 3 attempts to post. After the first go I used the back arrow & copied my immortal prose, then hit submit - Done it said, but nuffin', so I reloaded & pasted & posted & voila!

It looks like the press hasn't been very observant with this fellow. They're all focused on Hillary. . .
