Nick, donning my 'The Affs' hat, may I suggest that you try to keep up?

OK?

He has been the lead story on every news bulleting for 3 days for some reason. You'd have to live in SLough or ROck Ferry not to have heard of him!

k?

"Would suffice" would suffice.

No need for past tense.

No need for past tense.
