Why mention Dunhill?
I like his bks but flawed by eg #wistful boyish idea
all #women v attracted to #Morse?
I hear "I'm #available' subtext f/ Mr D!
#classical #MUSIC
Maurice #Ravel, 1875-1937, 1 of my faves

@bizzofsport = sharpest re #BS in eg #golf
@LivTours
A) its golfers must #transfer all #marketing rights to LIV
B) if a LIV event is on, 0 of its signed-up ppl can play in #other# events
BUT #LIV say "Player freedom = its basis!

Charlie Stebbings, host of @bizofsport, himself #entrepreneur, errs re place of #sportS
Says (1:24:5) in linked TW below
'The most #powerful #export of the UK is the (#EPL)'

In 'Last seen wearing' #Morse is #racist. Dies of #alcoholism. #Bullying
intellectual snob, pedantic
Least likeable “hero” in CF
2000: Dexter (s pic) stated he shared #Morse's views on politics
