Last night was a brilliant snap shot in to myĂ‚Â life. A mate of mine was around with the DVD version of myĂ‚Â downloadable stand-up show called -Ă‚Â Dominic Holland is aliveĂ‚Â in Tring. My mate shoved on the DVD version – Nikki and the boys chucked theirĂ‚Â opinions inĂ‚Â and quickly, we signed off on the art work and the…
The following is an abridged extract from my book – how tom Holland eclipsed his dad – It is relevantĂ‚Â because today, Tom has a meeting in the same private members club as where the meeting I describeĂ‚Â in this extract took place.
