According to retired Arts College Lecturer Reg Cox, “Stuart was a lovely lad, he lived at No 9 when my wife, Ina, and I lived at number 11. Stuart would borrow our sweeping brush to clean his flat when his mother was coming to visit”
Stuart’s parents lived at 37 Aigburth Drive in Sefton Park, which is now The Blenheim Hotel.
Reg went on to say “Stuart upset his Belgium Landlady Mrs Plant, when he painted all the furniture black and white, some people say that Stuart was evicted from 9 Percy Street, he wasn’t, he just left to share a flat with his friends”
“We had great parties in Percy Street” recalls Reg “It was very Bohemian and the cellars of the houses were inter-linked so we could go from number 11 to number 9 without having to go out into the street. The Liverpool Art set attended the parties, Fritz Spiegel, Adrian Henry and Roger McGough, to be honest I can’t remember if Paul and George were ever at any of the parties, remember they were not famous, but I know John did, he always wanted to be the centre of attention.”
Stuart was mentioned by name in the original lyrics of “In My Life”, this was changed when E.MI. Executives were worried about Stuart’s family being upset and possibly suing.* John changed the lyric to:
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
(Article by Phillip Coppell for ClickLiverpool)
*If anyone has more information/sources on this claim, I’d appreciate it! It’s too specific to just be a warped version of Pete Shotton’s story.

i think my favorite part of IT chapter two is when eddie crashes his car. like it kind of has everything. eddie insane road rage <3. eddie being a bit of a dick "it's my job to assess risks", it has "i love you mommy" which makes me want to jump off a bridge. eddie gesturing wildly instead of holding onto the wheel. his stupid fucking "edward kaspbrak speaking" <3 the face he makes when he's talking to mike lol. like he's expecting the car display to change. "EDDIE! are you okay?" "yeah! i'm pretty good."

It’s a crying shame that we never had an actual Monk/Psych crossover.
I can just imagine Shawn and Monk driving each other insane and getting competitive over who can solve the case first, Natalie and Gus commiserating over the frustrations of babysitting their respective overgrown children (and Gus potentially trying to flirt and getting shut down), Lassiter being quietly contemptuous of Randy’s stupidity, Henry and Stottlemeyer trading stories and going fishing together…the list goes on.

The fact that Monty and Adrian had an entire conversation about Richard Peele but Adrian failed to mention that he punched him in the face is criminal
