Feel sorry for him as the public want him to stay an alcoholic as he and they have bought into thst carousing Irish writer stereotype so deeply. Nobody wants to go to his gigs and see him sober.

His parents were in England visiting relations when he was born prematurely on Christmas day. If his mum had gone full term he would have been born in Tipperary in January.
