Nicky Haslam: Cock-cocking with Tony and Roddy


Nicky Haslam's Redeeming Features autobio is out on Nov 5 and one of its delights is his revelation that the old party-goer and name-dropper cock-cocked with Tony Armstrong-Jones (now Lord Snowdon) in the 1950s, before Tony married Princess Margaret, and later with Roddy Llewellyn, before Roddy became her boyfriend. I had never thought of Nicky till now as the late Queen sister's unwitting bedtime taster.

And what happened to Susan Hill? Didn't she publish some memoirs recently? They sank without trace.

What a curious menage a trois separated by time. I wonder what sort of sex they had. Penetrative do you think?

Who is Nicky Haslam?

Diana Barrymore said...

Yeah yeah yeah - but how much of it is true? Haslam is writing about people who can't or won't sue. Having said that, I look forward to a cosy read!

I can't wait to read Nicky's atom bomb name dropping memoirs. ..... I wonder if he drops the name Scarsdale? He used to be hooked on the Scardsale diet but not the Beverly Hills diet if I remember correctly.

so he dabbled with Roddy ehh ?. That boy could never make up his mind which side of the fence he sat on.

Where's McGowan/Gateley gone?

The video disappeared so I took the post down. Mark needs to get his house in order. I bet he didin't sort out copyright before he put the film together. Bloody cultural terrorists.

Was that a spoof Madame Arcati in the Guardian yesterday?

Madame Arcati said...

Mark tells me the video has just slipped up. When it's restored I'll put up the posting again.

Madame, do your readers know that Susan Hill has fetched up at The Spectator? She blogs there now. (And did Roger Lewis deliberately confuse Lord Dacre with Paul Dacre?)

Madame Arcati said...

Ah, she sold out. I didn't know. The Speccie has a habit of hoovering up bloggers - but not me, the cunts. I won't be taking a look. I don't have time for Aquarian mindstormers. I only tolerate all-weather friends.

As for Mr Lewis' Dacre confusions, I think that's what's known in the trade as a "faux naive two-step in order to avoid an embarrassment".

Word is that Nicky's book is a fluffy delight

Madame Arcati said...

I'm certain it is. I shall be reading it.

Further to my earlier comment, at least Nicky looks fab in that pic you put up - could he maybe let us have the no. of his plastic surgeon, or failing that please pass it on to Jan Moir / Nick Griffin. Tee hee hee, Nicky I hope you live to be 110 - what will it matter as long as you still look 40 & have someone to change your incontinence pants!
