Mary Whitehouse Experience on tour early 1990s
Let the record state that Rob Newman was a shy, retiring lovely young chappy. And he was more than happy to chat complete bollocks with the stoned, young Ms Twaddle and her equally mentally challenged mate when they "accidentally" met at the stage door. Which explains why I salute Mr Robert of Newman and call David Baddiel a twat. Because he was, and still is.

Agreed
I had a Rob Newman story for this QOTW, but ran out of time to write it properly.

He gave me a minor ribbing during a gig (Colchester Arts Centre, 1999) and after the show bought me a pint and asked me what I thought of the show. He was genuinely pleased when I told him I enjoyed the performance.

Great guy.

I believe under-endowment in the trouser department is sometimes referred to as "Baddiel syndrome".

Really?
Is he, er, well-known for that particular shortcoming then?
