What's your claim to fame?

I once saw Reg Varney of On the Buses fame, in Leadenhall Street near to where I worked in London. I used to regularly horseride past Terry Wogan's place in Taplow and now cycle past Robert Plants place every week - yeah, he's a really nice guy too. Oh yes, and I have got quite a lot of photos of Di and Charles and a few other people at a polo event I went to with my wine bar buddies years ago - I think we were the noisiest people there and had a right laugh - plus the wine was free! Oh and I forgot I, along with 1,000's of thers went to their wedding at St. Pauls cathedral and got a lot of piccies.

That's about all I can remember....

This could be interesting Petal. Do you think you could knock on his door and give him a guitar pick for me please?

I would like to see him auction it for charity if possible - I'm sure it would raise more money if he actually donated it. Whadya say, are you up for the challenge?

I'm going out tonight to The Tower Ballroom in Edgbaston (it's 'grab a grannie' night again!) - Old face comedian, Johnny Carroll, is a regular there - anybody want his autograph if I see him?

Update to celebrity spotting in The Tower Ballroom on Saturday.

Absolutely no celebrities or famous people to be seen anywhere not even Johnny - I did speak to a nurse who worked at the Queen Elizabeth hospital - she wasn't famous either and seemed to find it amusing that there used to be loads of palm trees in the room years ago.

The new owners have got rid of the old band, (apparently the singer was drunk all the time) and replaced them with another band that played 'Blues Brothers' type music - they weren't very good though. There was a problem with the lead singers mike, who just carried on singing seemingly oblivious to the fact that nobody could hear him and the bass was so low you could feel your clothes vibrating, everybody just stood around with big grins on their faces.

We had to wade through about 6 inches of fillings on the way out.

Spent the Sunday slumped in front of the telly dribbling, overdosing on clementines and drifting in and out of a coma - I'm too old for this sh*t!

No, he doesn't know anything about it - crazy isn't it?

Is it a surprise then??? You're a right one for keeping us all waiting to find out what you're up to. So what's the story about the pick then??? tell all!

BTW, I couldn't get near his front door!
