THERE'S more to Haldanes lawyer Chris Morley than meets the eye. When he's not adjusting his briefs, he can be found indulging his passion for music.

The Scotsman has secured a tenure at the exotic Quo Quo restaurant in the Entertainment Building in Central, where he plays the piano from 6pm to 8pm every first and third Friday of the month.

Chris, who performs mostly 1950s jazz, developed his talents by playing the seedy bars of Scotland while he was a student and busking (presumably not with a piano) in Lisbon.

SAD news has come our way that a former colleague of Edward Llewellyn at the Conservative Party's Central Office, Sean Holden, has contracted leukaemia. Sean, who is as true blue as they come, has to undergo chemotherapy in order to overcome his illness. However, he appears to be bearing up. The other day he remarked that the treatment makes his urine turn blue. 'Not even Margaret Thatcher can do that,' he announced proudly.

HONG KONG'S public relations agencies, of which there are many, have been receiving unsolicited calls from a UK-based company called Eurotech asking them if they want more business - to which the obvious answer is always 'yes'.

The company spokesman then bangs on about how well connected and able to drum up business he is. However, then comes the rub. For doing so, he demands a fee of $36,000.

The PR man who told us this wondered why he should pay so much for something he could do himself for virtually nothing bar a telephone call or the price of a stamp.
