Great spot from the Spectator’s multilingual Clive Davis. Browsing the obituary page of Portugal’s Diário de Notícias, as one does, he discovered “that Britain’s most famous Burnley and Brel fan had spun his last.”

Not in the least bit true, as it turns out. The opening - “poet, novelist and playwright” – is probably enough to put that one to bed regardless of the four and a half stars All in the Mind gets on Amazon.
