Murray Chalmers posts "shameless use of a photo of me and Morrissey on holiday in Portugal" in new Courier column (February 16, 2022)

Did we discuss the newest Instagram picture by Murray Chalmers? An interesting person, very close to Morrissey (for a PR man). Morrissey looks very happy.

Shameless use of a photo of me and Morrissey on holiday in Portugal to point you to the link in bio to my new Courier column which is about the idea of a happy death. Read online or in the Courier today. @debbiedannell , I think you took this!

When was that photo taken? Around '92? Bernard was better looking than Murray back around then 1990-92.

Acton might be your middle name but who are we to judge over the 2 men's attraction? Morrissey found him good company enough to go on holiday in Portugal with him. A very caring PR man, EMI had chosen.

I’m pleased they had a nice holiday
Together, single beds one can only presume??

Why shouldn't men, who have business relations with each other, also be able to sleep in the same KING SIZE bed? Theoretically.

Two gay lads out on the pull, what's not to like?!

You are right, it was not particularly sophisticated but rather clumsy and clear. Yes, I hope they had a nice holiday and saw some nice things in the clubs and on the beach.

Murrassey (I like that) has lots of tattoos nowadays. Wonder if he still has a fake "Honey" one too. Maybe like all the assistans, drivers and PR managers around that time. A certain code, oslt.

For a moment I thought that was Bernard Sumner.

Same here. Barney has made the baggy white t shirt his own.

Haircuts on a daily basis by Debbie Dannell.

When was that photo taken? Around '92?

if Debbie took the photo, a good guess would be 92

Just because of the personnel Debbie and Murray (EMI) together and the appearance of Morrissey, I would say 92-94. Altough Deb was still thanked on the back cover the Satan single 12/97.

Maybe the bird-rescuing at Caroline Place would have been in 1989. Not sure if my previous post can be edited.

And presumably Jake hadn’t appeared in his life yet.
Another reason to think it is indeed 1992.
