What about Colin Jackson coming back from Seville on Iberia? Won a Gold Medal at the World Championships and I got the hostess to get him autograph my newspaper(for my son I might add) which had a picture of him on the front page.Later got a bollocking from him when I met him in the gents at the airport. She had woken him up to get him to do it. Ha! You can't refuse me points now can you?

Did you get a bollicking from Peter Stringfellow? What's he ever done? I got a bollocking from a World Champion! Stick that in yer pipe!


Now.....how many points?

I was on the same flight home this week as Thom Yorke. He is as miserable as sin (I already knew that) but he's also seriously small. Granted when I first bumped into him we were in the lounge and I was wearing big heels (I'd just come from a do) but I changed out of those clothes and later on he was sitting in front of me for the whole flight and the guy is only the same height as me (5ft 4). I really wanted to tell him that his band is shite and he needs to cheer up a bit but I didn't. He was very attentive with his kids though.

I saw the Modfather 'Paul Weller' in Bayswater. He was miserable and rude. I walked past George Harrison and his wife in Henley (back when he was alive, I'm no Doris Stokes). He looked like a tramp but there was something in the way he moved.


I saw Gwen Stefani in the Airport in LA. She has loads of makeup and is really short (so short she should have had a fishing rod and red hat). Having said that, she is still incredibly beautiful.


Oh, I saw Kate Moss in Primrose Hill. She looked rough, nothing special.


Blimey, I sound like a stalker!

What about the whole Queensland Rugby Union team on Quantas from Brisbane plus getting ME drinks throughout the flight? Included Micheal Lynagh and Tim Horan to name but a couple.

You're half right, Jez.


In fact, Mrs *Bob* and myself take a perverse (but genuine) delight in spotting D-listers under the most mundane or incongruous of circumstances.


So, for example, in out current 'international' spots: her spotting Andy Garcia filming an Ocean's scene whilst she sipped free bubbly in a rooftop suite in Bellagio might indeed be noteworthy, but I won hands down by bumping into Ricky out of Eastenders, coming out of a toilet in Space, chewing his face off.

Thanks Jeremy but for God's sake who here is interested in the Queensland Rugby Union team?


Did I mention that I had a conversation with Hugo MacNeill on a flight back from Edinburgh?


Oh I nearly forgot that I met my brother who was on tele last week in the French abode of Duncan B.... (Dragon's Den).Food programme in Mougins, but expect negative points knowing BoB!

Ricky Gervais was waiting in my tailors the last time I got a suit made. He was an utter prick.


I'd made an appointment and had been a customer for years - since I first started earning a wage where you can have the odd suit made, so I was well known and long standing client. I strolled in 5 minutes before my allotted time and had my fitting as you do...


Gervais was looking grumpy and pissed off when I rocked up and my arrival seemed to exacerbate his mood. He is extra fat and tiny with greasy hair and is so full of imagined self importance. As an aside I've met far bigger stars who have been usually very pleasant, but that little cnut seems to positively revel in his supposed stature.


He's not a star, he happens to be famous, but the talent to fame ratio is a bit lop-sided in my opinion.

    • Andrew whatshisname's lawyer might find it useful as his client has just been arrested "over the alleged sharing of confidential material". The arrest of Mandelson to follow?
    • That's the milquetoast triangulation that's delivered so much electoral success to the Lib Dems locally and nationally! 🤣
    • Amazing. Now could you cut and paste an AI summary of the defence case for Andrew M-W? 
    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
