Did she look at it with a puzzled expression and say 'I don't remember eating that!'

We were stood behind him in the local chemists in Belsize Park. I think he was discussing his heroin substitute prescription with the pharmacist. After, the missus said he looked a bit 'peaky' and wanted to take him home for a cup of tea. :D

He's quite tall and has a very nice voice...but he did look like a square meal and a brew would have done him good. :thumbup:

Standing on the other side of me was Joan Collins ( who smells funny) and her then beau , who I think was a robot made from wax.
Jody Kidd was nice , mind
Sounds like Ms Collins was at the right shindig at least.

I rode Boone's BSA for a title sequence they probably didn't use.

Just one bloke with him on another bicycle. I'd had a few jars at lunch time at the Fort St George* & stepped out from the tree I was watering on Midsummer Common right in front of him. Took a moment to realize who it was & why the other bloke seemed to be a bit upset at me calling him a pillock.

* May have been the KSR & Parkers Piece. I was somewhat tuned up.

Ever flicked a cigarette out of your car window & then a while later you smell something bad in the car, so you look over your shoulder & discover your grandmother fingering herself on the back seat?

Matt LeBlanc shows up at the RockStore now & again. Just after Chris Evans had a CV generating event I asked him "Has the ginger twat gone now?" He confirmed he had.

I got drunk with Joey Dunlop in a bar in Vila Real, Portugal. The next day he got up and won the F1 race and I had a thumping hangover all day.
