When you see Bob Dylan doing singing and that, it's really Chris Rea standing behind the curtains playing the twangy twangy bits and singing through his nose to disguise the voice meaning he can be himself when he does his songs with Bob Mortimer. He writes all Dylan's words and that. You can see Chris Rea in the background in the Dylan film that missed out in the Oscars.

I was sure Bob Dylan did most of the voice overs in South Park but now I know it was actually Chris Rea.

[I have decided to copy/paste 'Chris Rea, it's lot easier]

Chris Rea starred in the first filming of this years The Apprentice, however he kept nipping back in time using both the Turdis & Time Transit, and he managed to make so much money on each task, that not only did he win, but he actually managed to buy out Alan Sugar, then promptly fired him, the BBC were furious as they had to start from scratch, using a fresh selection of grade 1 numpties

The guy that started Amstrad was originally called Alan Schwartz.
He was affectionately known as 'Sugar' by his most successful apprentice Chris Rea (because Rea couldn't remember the the correct spelling).

The name stuck, so they came up with a plan to pop back to 1947 in the Turdis to tweak the birth registration to make the nickname formal.
An accident with the auberge field means Lord Sugar's chin is permanently stuck in 1947, which is why his beard looks so old fashioned.

Not wanting to cause offence, Chris Rea declared "Nonsense, it looks a luxuriant and wonderful statement of fashion; I shall forever adopt the same hirsute adornment".
That's why they're a pair of beardy weirdies.

As a fellow Essex man. I can confidently call sir Alan Sugar, (nee Schwartz) , a 'Twonk', a succesfull one at that, but a Twonk.
But we know about Chris Rea, he does like to rub shoulders, in this case, he is rubbing hirsute chins, yet another Essex mannerism, which we don't see so much now, but it I derogratory
