Celeb gossip encouraged !
Anything (except results) Anytime ...I'm sure there will be someone around

Cheers.
Preparing, for the worst. Just incase.

I can distract you with the fact that I knew Susan Calman and Darius at school. Darius was surrounded by admirers at all times owing to his handsome handsomeness. I have other insights.

This is certainly not as impressive as Delphi's megastar. I have also bumped into a disguised Kylie on a French beach.

I will kick off with a cat photo

Oooh piggy. I read of someone else who was at school with Darius who I really like and follow on twitter. Who was that…. Dammit. Maybe they are you! Let me think.

Ooh 😋 yes @proggymat just asked where the drink was...herewith naming this thread the
DISTRACTION INN

I've always wanted to use that emoji.

There is not actually anything in the house I feel like drinking. I have a massive kilner jar with woodland berries and vodka in it. Problem is it's over two years old. I'm scared. Ditto the bottle of pretend Baileys that has been at the back of the fridge since Christmas 😯
A bit of Pimms, Red Wine and lots of lovely organic prosecco.
I need flavoured but there is none. I shall send Dd down the shop.

Going to concentrate on training 'drop' from our slightly guardy little monster.
Met a friend in the pub last night..ahem...one glass of Rose too many so think it will be lemonade tonight!

Poppa Crerar? I was at a different school.

Pippa you silly spellchecker!

Aww looks so comfy !

I am definitely not Pippa

Also I did a postgrad with Mark Labett aka The Beast from The Chase 😂

(Still my favourite celeb connection even though I have worked in tv for 20+ years)

Ooooh it was pippa crerar! Do you know her? (Are you get?!)

Gorgeous guy! Yes we serve soft drinks too !

Crossposted. Never mind, I love you even more than pippa, piggy 😁🤣

Ahh Darius , he seemed quite a success in the Musical Theatre World, lovely accent

Thanks Cinnamon...a comfy chair, a drink and some crisps will do me nicely...

I did not know Pippa afaik

My DDad sent a bottle of brandy round last week as he doesn't like it. But neither do any of us! I won't be drinking tonight but am here for the pet pics and gossip.

@Piggywaspushed Darius came across as a nice guy but then he was hugely successful in a hard business which usually means not so lovely. What's your view?

@Delphigirl Worried about a conversion to Scientology?

Perhaps some snacks at the Inn?

I think it would be dangerous to stop my holiday rum and coke habit too precipitously - so rack ‘em up, barkeep.
while I keep laughing over my son’s flat mate.
I am now getting random texts saying “they are going to think I’m a loser” from DS1. On the upside though, he has got a plus one invite to a movie premiere, and I told him if he takes his flatmate as his guest he will get his photo into People 🤣🤣🤣

No Scientology connection at all @EwwSprouts (phew)

And a dog

@Delphigirl Sigh of relief.

@singingstones 😍

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.

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
