Of course, I am violently allergic to cats...

The only picture we have of the Dean is not overly flattering but in my head he looks a little more like this

Come in, enjoy, help yourself to Twiglets.
Yours sincerely, a Fair Trespasser.

You are just a big tease, that's what you are ,Maudie!

And I did see Richard Wilson and a bunch of other thesps at a gala I attended a few months ago.

::somewhat vague::

I think that smilie means envy at least, as it doesn't have pointed ears

On a more salubrious note, Michael York smiled at me in the street once, and met Richard O'Brien & Michael Ball after preview if Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a few years back.

H has been more successful wrt celebrity meetings - he ended up on the neighbouring exercise bike to Anthony Hopkins at a posh health spa - as luck would have it H was reading Silence of the time & AH autographed it for him. He's met Bryan Ferry & Sally Gunnell through work as well.

Clearly I need to up my game

Hmm I think we need to get into event organising, so we can do movie promo bashes, premieres, post- awards ceremony parties etc.

Mwah ha ha...

I like your thinking Massive!

Tent down now, amid much tantrumming from DD, have had to promise her at least a week's garden camping in summer hols.

LOL at Great Suprendo :)

Maud, oh please say it's Bunny, I love Bunny!

I have obviously met lots of slebs through work but probably my favourite meeting (well, I stood there and handed him a sheet of paper) one of my heroes, Don McLean. Harry Connick Jr. was a perk of the job, too :) Oh and do we have any West Wing fans here? I got in the same lift as Leo McGarry and for a nanosecond I was in awe of the fact that I was standing next to one of the most important men in America - then I remembered he was just an actor :) Certain people were lovely (Richard Whiteley, Chris Martin) and certain people were complete arses, though I obviously mention any names.

On a completely different topic, does anybody remember the ginger one from The Spice Girls?

No, not Bunny. And is only an acquaintance, not a proper fwend, like.

Harry Connick Jr. For those too young to know the works of .

Oh, forgot the lovely Bob Monkhouse - he was adorable.

Hmmm, have just realised that three of the people I've just mentioned have since died. As have about 4 of the presenters I used to work with.

Or should that be ?]]

Nice to hear Richard Whitely was a sweetie - I watched Countdown from when I was a kid & cried when he died .

Those jumpers, though, Spiro!

RW used to say that he used to be called Twice Nightly Whiteley but it was more like Once Yearly, Nearly :)

What are we all up to tonight then? DrTwigs is making me watch Love And Death. I'll get my own back tomorrow when I make him watch Downton Abbey :)

Oh, the Elisaveta question was just 'cos I was thinking up a little story in my head. I haven't got anywehere with it though.

I love Patrick Stewart for his . Mind you, , where he gets the giggles are even better.

Watching John Bishop on Parenthood at the mo - v. funny.

What is so funny about knickers though? The word always seems to have everyone falling about laughing....

Evening all, sorry I have been playing catch up with work stuff today I've got so much to do. Speaking of which, I have done a few 'celebrities' houses including one of the people mentioned above. I wonder if The Man might be thinking of doing anything with his house, what with my celebrity connections I'd be just the person to help.

I'm watching the end of Lord of the Rings. Just preparing myself.

Oooh, Small, how interesting! (about the sleb houses)

LOTR is fabulous, I wish we were watching that. I did say I'd try with Love & Death though. DrTwigs and I disagree about Woody Allen - unlike DrT (and, admittedly most other people, I find his early stuff irritating and unfunny and much prefer his later work.

I see Another XMen film is on too, most excellent.

I'm not a bit WA fan myself Twigs, I think I would struggle to last a whole film.

You've done slebs' houses, Small? What, the gold-plated taps in the shape of a swan and indoor football pitch with en suite helicopter pad sort of thing?

Am also watching LOTR. Will Severus Snape be in it soon?

Knickers are inherently funny, as Victoria Wood proved with Whoops! There Go My Bloomers.

No nothing so common Maudie.

Knickers only make me larf if someone has tucked their skirt into them or if they are revealed Miranda Hart style

I love the WA films I've seen, but haven't seen any since somewhere around Crimes and Misdemeanours. And there's very little in the Bibliotheque de YouTube - I tried searching a while back (you may remember) for the orgasmatron.

I know that you would never be ::gasps:: common, Small, but I am also aware that sometimes you just have to go with the client's instructions even if they are an offence against all notions of good taste.

I would love to have a house designed & built to my own specification (have just been reminded to check my Euro Lottery ticket - won't be hiring you this week Small ).

What's the weirdest feature you've had to include in a design?
