my dad's a plastic vacuum former and he made the shoulder plates for Sly Stallone in Judge Dred (sic). He also made Jason Donovan's gold breast plate when he was in Joseph. Unfotunately he never met them, was just given measurements. I know who i'd have rather met!! (i was about 10, do the maths).

I never got to see NOFX but I did randomly meet Frenzal Rhomb in an internet cafe..


My friend once got arrested for trying to invade Luxembourg when he was 15- a feat only beaten by Hitler. ( He was actually just playing with a fake gun in a forest )

I was a guest on Dermot O'Leary's R2 show not long after it started - he's lovely but v cold hands... his show was being slated on the R2 forums at the time and don't think we helped improve it... he doesn't have listener's on now!!


I saw Glenda Jackson once but resisted the urge to go up and tell her how fab she was as Cleopatra (with M&W!) as I was working and it might not have been appropriate!

I went to pick up friend at her dentist's surgery after having a root canal and both John Cleese and Ian Dury were in the waiting room... Cleese was very twitchy and kept crossing and un-crossing his legs whilst flapping the pages of a newspaper very loudly... Dury, as you would expect, was his charming, funny, excentric self...

I've always had a soft spot for Stephen Fry because he's an utter sweetheart. He has good manners too and I'm an old fashioned girl so that goes a long way with me. Anyway, long story short, I've just received an invitation to next month's Friends for Life Dinner (Terrence Higgins Trust). Stephen hand-writes all the invitations personally. He's a seriously busy guy but he hand-writes dinner invitations! That just makes me love him even more (if that's possible).


I can't make the dinner but I'm still sending a cheque - if SF can give up his time then I can give up my money. Bless him.


I read somewhere (and I've no idea if it's true) that Michael Jackson personally signs all of his cheques in the knowledge that many of the cheques don't get presented for payment because the recipients would rather keep the autograph. Crafty or what? No idea if it's true.

Salvador Dali ditto - ' cept he used to do a doodle on the back as well - he used to have huge piss sessions in resturants with a band of flunkeys and always paid by cheque = no-one ever cashed them surprisingly


What would Salo do nowadays with the demise of the cheque? having Dalis Amex slip isnt as romantic or collectable

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
