Beekeeping

edit

So I removed the bit that says he's a beekeeper and said in my edit summary that there was an interview somewhere. It was actually on Scott Mills' Radio 1 show as heard on his podcast dated 7 May 2010. Knowles said he's not a beekeeper, has never been near a beehive and knows hardly anything about bees.

Tony Knowles

edit

His pesonal website, listed as the source for the claim he's the brother of Tony Knowles the snooker player, says he has one brother called John. I've corrected the article accordingly. 217.39.111.188 (talk) 18:52, 27 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Tuberculosis

edit

Is Mr Knowles now TB free? The article does not state whether he was cured or whether infection lingers on. Wyddgrug (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Partridge

edit

Knowlesy makes an appearance in Alan Partridge's latest book, Nomad.

"...I've always been afraid of Nick. He's a big man with a craggy face and an ease among labourers and tradesmen that suggests, if the mood took him he could summon the animals and have them take you to pieces violence-wise [...] He's basically a big horrible git of a man." [1]

I wonder if it's worth mentioning? --Hillbillyholiday talk 21:45, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Undoubtedly. But I fear the "big horrible git" bit might be seem as problematic. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:52, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Faked CV

edit

Perhaps worth a mention, if we can find a more reliable source? [1] It certainly means we can't believe any of his own pronouncements about his early career. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removed Unsourced Statement

As per BLP policy I removed this unsourced paragraph from the personal info section: "In 2022 Knowles caused controversy when he went on a twitter rampage over a broken Mcdonald's Milkshake machine in Cirencester" If someone with a reliable reference wants to restore it, feel free. 95.145.86.26 (talk) 10:26, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
