Primal Dream

Mr Gary Mounfield, (jobbing Primal Scream and ex-Stone Roses bass spanker) has written a letter to Pope Benedict XVI asking for sainthood to be added to the honours confirmed on Sir Alex Ferguson, after the red-hootered Scot claimed his ninth Premiership title.

Clearly a man completely unaffected by the rigours of a life in bands, Mani has often gone on record with his wish list of things he would like to see happen, the greatest being:

"I'd like to go to space, or to score the winning goal in a UEFA Cup final wearing a Spider-Man costume and riding a Harley-Davidson." Which, as ambitions go, I can't even begin to top.

You've got to fucking love him, haven't you? Or legalise whatever he's smoking. It'd be instant world peace.
