Along with fellow band member Chris de Margary, the 49-year-old singer claims they bought the shoot- ing and fishing rights for Glenmore Lodge at the foot of the Bluestack Mountains in Co Donegal in 2005. The pair run a business offering visitors game angling, deer stalking and rough shooting in the remote and rugged 24,000-acre Glenfin Valley. But just across the River Finn from Simply Reds lodge, neighbour John Wilde, who runs a similar business at Cloghan Lodge, said his father was By BRIan HuTTon handed the sporting rights for both estates 26 years ago. But Hucknall, singer of well-known hits such as Holding Back the Years and Moneys Too Tight To Mention, insists they bought the rights from former owner John Mackie in a 1.3million deal four years ago. Judge John OHagan at Letterkenny Circuit Court said it could take years for ownership to be decided.

Granting both sides a 15-minute break to temporarily sort out the row among themselves, Judge OHagan was forced to adjourn the case for a week when they refused to make up. He had earlier warned: Im not go- ing to make an order, as it would only lead to trouble.

Id walk to the liquor store near the stadium and get it, he added. Artest, 30, is now with the LA Lakers. I used to drink Hennessy at halftime, Artest said. I (kept it) in my locker. Artest admitted he was a head case when he broke into the National Basketball Association with the Bulls, for whom he played from 1999 to 2002. Artest said the drinking happened in part because the Bulls lost so often. He is in his first year with the Lakers.
