Dominic died about four weeks ago. He could be good fun. For instance when working at the Daily Express he ran a story on a lady who had consorted with a cabinet minister. Dominic knew her and offered the headline story "She gave a great toe job". Which she might have.


Not long afterwards he popped up at The Sunday Times and asked me whether Polly Peck could include a story which centred on the claim that Asil Nadir could include a racehorse in debtors. I assured Dominic that this was quite impossible - although one had to be careful since Asil Nadir could be litigious.


A few days later Dominic asked whether a £70m investment in a newspaper could be in debtors. At this point I knew that Polly Peck was finished and advised accordingly. I made £60,000 on the short.
