She grew up in Peckham and for many years lived on Camberwell Grove.

I think most 'celebrities' are just normal people really, I'm sure they're lovely when you meet them. I've met that thingy wassisname from Stereophonics a few times when I worked up in Camden and he was lovely.


Except Paris Hilton, I don't believe for a second she actually exists, I think she's either entirely photoshopped or an animatronic puppet.

Oh, let me assure you MP, she exists alright. As I know to my cost.

There I was on the slightly wonky pin table, in that pub over by Albert Bridge, and who should come up and goose me?

You're probably well ahead of me, it was Paz.

We of course fell into conversation, and naturally I plied her with sticks of mild and large bumpers of creme de menthe.

As the evening wore on, she assured me she would effect an introduction to Lionel Ritchie, through her pal Nicole.

I made no secret of the fact that my intention was to c@nt him off for that ludicrous video he made with the blind woman and his lumpy clay face. I thought we had an agreement.

Any way, a couple of days later in that pub, you know the one, this side of the river near Chelsea Bridge.

You know, with the pleasant Australian barmaid with the acne and the graffito 'SO WAS THE TITANIC' on the condom machine.

The Duke? The Prince? The Butchers Arms? Something along those lines.

Any way, there she is with the dart's team, taking on all comers for two's-up and double tops.

I take her aside and asked for Ritchie's contact details only to be informed that she and Nicole had had a falling out the night before.

Apparently Nicole had seen some video footage of PH, which lead her to intemperate use of the word 'slag', causing no little offence to the heiress. Hilton claimed that Carlberg Special Brew played a large part in a her former friend's diatribe.

The up shot of it all was that I am down several quid in drinks for sillybollocks Hilton and Lionel Ritchie remains blithely unaware of my opinion of that shite video.

And some would have you believe there's a God. Jesus.

I don't know Simon, I just bumped into Barry Cryer in Somerfield and he reckons you're talking bollocks.

Hmm AFN, I've just had a chat with Biddy Baxter in the Barry off-licence (and yes I glanced in her basket, a barbecue chicken pizza, two chickpea salads and seven large bottles of Stella, since you ask) and she thinks you're either making an anagrammatical reference of some sort to Ben Stiller, or you're being wilfully obscure.

I take the more charitable view that you're being enigmatic.

Or do I?

I encountered Hugh F-W @ the RSA back end of last year, and he was terribly 'you're not important so I don't need to speak to you or even acknoeldge your presence' towards quite a few people around me (who were all attending a screening of a film he was promoting, and were mostly fellows of the RSA, and included quite a few film-makers and environmental activists etc., so not exactly people picked up off the pavement).


It was like, unless you've got a video camera trained on me or are some kind of world leader, you don't exist. Strange. I understand he wants to maximise exposure, but a lot of those people could do things for those projects, and were all worth a couple of moments of his time. Even if he only picked one or two of them...

    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
