BIG Numbers Today Cliff Richard Is 9,000

There are some really quite astonishing numbers roaming around all over the media today, but there is one that stands head-and-shoulders above all of the others. Cliff Richard is 80 years old on the 14th of next month. Astonishing. His neck has looked 130 for at least 20 years and his hands look as if they have been microwaved. He is threatening to go for one more record to celebrate the event - it is the record number of times he has dissembled about his private life ... and, Lord help us all, another collection of songs.
