Come and see our massive display laminate Sarah's 20,000 square metres of laminate flooring accessories from just £8 a square metre laminate Zara's at the Carpet Warehouse, north London street Manchester. It was all going so well. At the age of 16. Our hero won a poetry competition and set off on a tour of Russia organised by the British Council. Then there was the small matter of 11. A great GCS is for a great today level, including history, English, literature and economics on the securing of a place. It's in Katherine's college Oxford. Most lives hit a crossroads on for this teenager. This a moment appears to have bean it. He turns down the approaches of sin Katherine's and instead head for the bright lights and the charms of University College London. Within a year, after a lifetime of educational achievement, he drops out. But who is our hero? Who is thiss academic high flyer. What sort of geeky guy are we dealing with? Why it's none other than Mr Straitlaced himself. Pete Dougherty. Born on the 12th of March 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland, Dougherty had a nomadic childhood. His father was an officer in the British Army on the family lived in a series of garrisons from Northern Ireland to Germany to Cyprus. After deserting college, however, Pete was a man on a mission. Teaming up with Carl Barat, he formed the Libertines. That was in 1997. Barely five years later, their debut album, The Bracket, went platinum. But then perhaps the most talented lyricist off his generation pushed the button marked self destruct. Addicted to crack cocaine and heroin. Authority was kicked out of the band for failing to turn up for a European tour. It was a situation of no play, no pay. But Dougherty had a habit that needed feeding his answer. While the rest of the group were in Japan, he burgled, barrettes, flattened, may phone, stolen guitar, video recorder, laptop mouth organ and CD player. He was sentenced to six months in Wandsworth Prison, but released early. Bharat met him at the gates, and hours later the band were playing a drunken Freedom reunion concert at the Tap and Tin Pub in Chatham Kent. But this brotherly love wouldn't last long as they recorded the band's hugely successful second album. Bodyguards were keeping Docherty and Barrett apart. He tried rehab twice but failed. His then manager Alan McGee, through the last roll of the dice on DH out of his own pocket sent him on a harsh rehab programme in a time on Astri, Dougherty fled. The band wouldn't have him back. It's hard to put a good man down, though. He resurfaced with the new band Babyshambles, their first single going straight into the top 10. But the Doctor to your rock n roll juggernaut just kept on trucking. December Oh, four was a particularly busy month. Turning up late for a gig in Aid of Shelter. He was ejected by security at a recording of Top of the Pops. He was thrown out for fighting with a member of the audience at a geek in Blackpool. Pete was dragged off stage in a state of collapse by his management and cancelled a concert in Aberdeen because he admitted he had overdosed when he failed to turn up for Babyshambles. End of year Gigot the London Historia The crowd who had waited until 2 a.m. rioted on, then stole the stage equipment.
