Anyone remember this berk? Face like a hammerhead shark and one of the biggest losers on Brum's toilet circuit. Used to be in bands called The French Way and The Girls until he went solo (his backing band were one of the saddest looking bunch of ne'er-do-wells ever to walk God's fair Earth), but can usually be found busking in and around the city centre. Can sing a little, but spoils it by writing crap songs about Michael Collins and what he must have felt like when the others got to go on the moon and left him behind or something. If you see him on the streets, tell him from me, see you in tea.

Is it pronounced 'Saint John' or 'Sinjen'?

Dunno about the St John / Sinjen thing but I accidentally saw him live a few weeks ago, he seemed very bitter in an "I could've been a contender" kind of way. He'd had a few as well.

No idea if it's Sinjen or not.

And just to heap on the agony rachey, according to the description by nrk100 above, I think it is fair to say he is a bit maudlin. So should this be spelt maudlin or Magdeline, as in the College?

That should do yer ed in.

nrk100, you paid good money to see that loser? I hope you've learnt your lesson. I must admit that I went to see him once, though, but never again. He was pissed and disappeared off the stage in the middle of his set after saying "Hold on a minute" to the audience. All you could see for about five minutes was the curtain twitching, accompanied by a few grunts. He emerged eventually with this grand piano which he pushed to the centre of the stage and went "Dave, is Dave here? Dave, come and play the piano," to which someone replied, "He's just left." Twat.

He hasn't been mentioned in a while. Thought I'd be doing the decent thing by posting something.

Why? Is he dead or something? Would anyone care if he was?

I haven't a scooby who he is. I'm back to my old trick of trying to shove any old vaguely interesting crap up in order to push the alleged 'bad boy' out of view.

I think its Sinjen. I know this Greaney - he used to be in a double act with another twat called Slim or something (and i agree that he is a completely talentless tosser.) . Neither of them could sing to save their lives, and they look like shit. (I wish some people would get the hint when they reach a certain age and just give up when noone's interested and do a proper job - start contributing to society for a change instead of shafting the rest of us decent tax payers.) I heard that he'd run off with another woman and left his wife and nipper with no spondulies. Can you confirm this, peakyblinder? Our granddad fought in the second world war for losers like Greaney. He must be turning in his grave.
