@CinnamonOrangeCremeBrulee help yourself to the Hobnobs. There's a spare packet in the cupboard, hidden behind the healthy stuff.

I’m off to walk the dog and will now swing by the Co-Op and get a bottle of 🍷 . I think on medicinal grounds.

Love Marc Warren.

Piggywaspushed · 17/08/2022 18:49

No idea about Darius really. Last saw him when I was 17. He was a bit of a junior lothario but so lovely.

Susan was fab.

Benjispruce4 · 17/08/2022 18:46

Who remembers Mark(Marc?) Warren from The Hustle? I used to work with him at a market research company when he was starting out. He was nice.

Benjispruce4 · 17/08/2022 18:44

Oh @Piggywaspushed I was so sad to hear about Darius. I think he was misunderstood. Your thoughts?
And I would love Susan Calman to be my friend.

Yep Danni is a poor second to Kylie a pop princess

mummyinbeds · 17/08/2022 18:43

Just found you, I've brought a cuppa and some Hobnobs.

I once sat in a Partners meeting in a hotel restaurant overlooking an indoor swimming pool. I got distracted by the sight of Arsene Wenger in his budgie smugglers. It wasn't a pleasant experience.

Benjispruce4 · 17/08/2022 18:42

So, who is enjoying the cooler air? I am. Hoping to sleep sans fan tonight. Though the drizzle is plays havoc with my barnet- think Monica from friends in Barbados.

I love the idea of sitting next to the German chancellor on a beach.

Piggywaspushed · 17/08/2022 18:35

Do I trump Danni with my Kylie !?

ProggyMat · 17/08/2022 18:34

Legging in to hoy my coat on a bar stool and rushing back out as have stuff to do
I’ll be back! 🤣

Piggywaspushed · 17/08/2022 18:34

Martin Bayfield, yes. Was a local police officer. HUGE.

singingstones · 17/08/2022 18:34

Lovely cat, purple
We have another one but he's not very photogenic, bless him

singingstones · 17/08/2022 18:33

Piggy is that the ex rugby player chap (whose name temporarily escapes me)

Fruitygal · 17/08/2022 18:31

Was a guest on Kilroy back in the day! Met Danni Minogue in Harrods pet shop. Starting small and will build up to the fun ones …..🤣

Piggywaspushed · 17/08/2022 18:20

Oo, I have been there and stood next to Hagrids costume! I actually know the body double.

Pieceofpurplesky · 17/08/2022 18:20

I once sat on the beach next to old German chancellor Helmut Cole and a very handsome bodyguard.

And here's a cat

Ooooooo stuck in traffic in car but DH driving us on way home from work - London is a weird mixture of weirdly clear roads and gridlock today………will take cute video of cat 🐈‍⬛ and pic of wine fridge which we filled up at the weekend. We had wine deliveries 🚚 over lockdown …..guilty pleasures …….. celebrity gossip coming up later

Tomnooktoldmeto · 17/08/2022 18:19

strange fact, DD’s English teacher is Percy Weasley’s mum. We visited the studio and she managed to take the kids behind the scenes as she was a chaperone on set

one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and a wonderful mentor to DD

Piggywaspushed · 17/08/2022 18:19

Thanks for the love Delphi!

No idea what went on with Darius. Time will tell.

I know he was encouraged to create a certain 'persona' by showbiz.

Susan was very loud and funny even then. Her brother was an unrequited object of my adoration.

EwwSprouts · 17/08/2022 18:19

@Delphigirl Sigh of relief.

@singingstones 😍

singingstones · 17/08/2022 18:17

And a dog
