Erm, what is this if it isn't rubber necking, albeit of an altogether more digital nature? Odd, very very odd.

We had a few: Ian McKellen, Mark Radcliffe, Ralf Little, Nigel Short (chess player) and a Nobel Prize winning chemist, Sir Harry Kroto (only I don't really know what he did). Unfortunately, on the ladies' side, I think we can only "boast" Davinia Murphy / Taylor, of Hollyoaks and shagging it around with Kate Moss fame.

HeidiHi, if you go to the big lunch website you can search for the nearest ones to you and join one of those. Don't know what end of Lordship Lane you are, but from the looks of things, there's one on Colwell Road and another on a road that begins with B (but the marker's covering it so I don't know which road that is)

I wouldn't say so - having slept through William Rose's opening hours yesterday I have just had to resort to Tesco for my purchase of steak. 1 x sirloin, not particularly thick cut, ?6.51. Seems about right to me.

Sadly t'aint true, only reduces Mick, only reduces. *sighs*

Aye, summat like.

Taking a wee nap at lunchtime, only to wake after the butchers has closed - what to feed the lunch guests tomorrow? A slightly bleary, incoherent rage ensues.

In a pub I'd be thrilled. On a quiet midnight side street suddenly illuminated by the light of a full moon, I might reach for my silver bullet.

Running down a hill because it's there Skipping Trailing your hand along a metal fence and feeling a bit funny as your fingers bounce off every pole The crunch of a really crispy leaf under your plimsoll (hard-soled shoes just don't get it) Hope & Greenwood's lavender truffles Tracking down a song on spotify you haven't heard since you first french kissed (or hearing it at Lucky 7s) Orion's Belt Dicing onions with german steel that you sharpened yourself The first ros? of summer being a good one Laughing til a little bit of wee almost comes out Singing along to Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves in front of the mirror

Ravaged or ravished Mick? Anyway, I'll leave you boys to play.

*swoons* BBW, I've just come over all unnecessary

Mike, I thought we'd come so far - was I wrong? I'm sort of the earth - what, are you calling me soil now?

See Mick n Mike (hey, have you ever thought of joining forces in an 80s pop duo?) - Moos and BBW know what they're talking about, they know the shizzle

Oh you boys are so precious.

That's right sugarlips

Hell yeah, don't you fellas know your Bond? *hums, "Underneath a mango tree, my honey and me..."* (actually Mike, that's where I'm plotting your demise, so keep your wits about you when tropical fruit are around)

He's enraptured, not dead. I've never quite killed one yet Mikie (but you know, play your cards right...)

THIS is what I meant http://cache1.asset-cache.net/xc/85631976.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=FA49821BFAF9525CF1DB9CA827356FD8E30A760B0D811297

No no no, what is all this - Moos, we promised him honey, and honey he shall have (bah, picture won't post)

I have several cash pounds, I can de-seed and skin a cucumber and have many a fine hat to add to the selection. I'M IN BABY

Oh Tony, come now, you can't in all earnestness think that Moos might be accusing you of keeping people in cages? Unless, unless, oh my, has she stumbled too close to your little secret? Come to think of it, where IS Moos, she's suddenly mysteriously very quiet...

Haha, brilliant, really? Other users of internet forums find that certain comments so very much speak for themselves as not to require unspeakable emoticons. (still others of us find emoticons so hideous that we try to make our language speak for itself) I wouldn't dare speak for Moos, but have to ask, seriously Tony??? And on the subject of brain fritters, I'm hungry. Anyone got any going spare?

But please please please Tony, don't put him in a gimp mask - I can't bear the thought of Hona having to breathe through straws up his nose
