?[edit]

What about a reference to the GNU/Linux high performance audio server jackd?

Expand biography[edit]

Can more information be found about his early life? Does he have any siblings? How did he do at school (one of those school websites states he didn't enjoy it there)? What was his ambition in life? I believe the personal biography should be moved back above the career section once it is fleshed out some more. 84.92.93.58 19:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geographical error[edit]

The Comedy Store at the west side of Leicester Square is not really very close to Covent Garden. Davidbod 10:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a grand distance of half a mile between the two places. WindsorFan 10:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But half of inner London is half a mile from Covent Garden. Davidbod 22:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've altered it slightly.WindsorFan 18:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jane's surname[edit]

This seemed too trivial to put in as a reference in the main article, but this BBC article indicates she took his surname. WindsorFan 16:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alcoholism[edit]

Do recovering alcoholics/ former alcoholics, including him, qualify for the people with alcoholism category? F W Nietzsche (talk) 23:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald McDonald[edit]

"He also spent a few years trying to land the prestigious role of Ronald McDonald, but ultimately was unsuccessful."

Seems incredibly unlikely, no source is given, and it's not even obvious what it means to have the role of Ronald McDonald. 94.174.36.122 (talk) 20:43, 30 November 2013 (UTC) Alex[reply]
