The inspiration for the Super Furry Animals single 'Man don't give a f**k'. They used that photo on the single sleeve too.

Always wondered if Aleksic was giving him the oil tanker wave in that photo..

The line was nicked from a Steely Dan song...

Absolute legend, read the book and it was hard to put down.

In the late 70's the ultimate insult was to "flick the V's" at somebody.

I think it may be a bit later that the middle fingered gesture and the "oil tanker" gesture became popular!

I once read a book on how to make superglue that was hard to put down. :cry:
