Well, nobody's perfect..

Saw a reference to this in the Irish Times today and thought I'd post it..

It begins: Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who was found dead on Monday aged 44, was a louche German aristocrat with a multi-faceted history as a pleasure-seeking heroin addict, hell-raising alcoholic, flamboyant waster and a reckless and extravagant host of homosexual orgies.

And ends: He never married.

And he seemed like such a catch.

George Melly died this week too. Now that, by contrast, was a debauched, wreckless life very well lived..
