funnier than, like, that Lehman Bros. mess

[jlh]

The Guardian tracks down teachers to find out what today's celebrities were like as children. The one I found most hilarious (of course):

Simon Cowell
Dover college, Kent, 1973-1975. Lorenzo Smerillo, former assistant housemaster
Simon was a very unhappy, nicotine-addicted, skinny, scruffy, dishevelled, pimply teen - rather like most boys at any school. I found him amusing in a quirky way. He quite often had some wisecrack or other on the tip of his tongue. He was admired by some of the boys after he left school with his O-level or two because he got a job as a mail boy at some London record company. He has become quite pudgy from what I saw once on the box, and still does not know how to dress, but his sardonic wit is leaven to the morass of TV idiocy.

I feel the pudgy comment will soon be used as revenge by certain parties.

Didn't Simon say that he felt suicidal at school ? Looks like he wasn't joking! 'nicotine addicted and quirky', god i love him!
