It just needed to be 'size', not 'font size'.

I knew you'd turn up if I was having a'size' query! ;)

It is in the hands of my editor. Not out but I have finished my parts. :D

My luck it will go straight to the discount bin, :$

I like to say this story as much as I can .... Lucy Porter once bought me two drinks as we chatted about Comedy as her gig got cancelled but they forgot to tell her.

I bummed a fag off Lucy last year.

That sounds saucier than I intended.

But the rumours are true, she's a f**king bitch and everyone hates her*

*Not true. Not even a rumour. She's lovely. I love her. What can I say? Lovey Lovey Lovey

Famous (or famous-ish) people I have met (no particular order) Keith Chegwin (tenuous), George Carey (former Archbishop of Canterbury), Matt Lucas, Al Murray, Milton Jones, Mark Lamarr, Jo Brand, Chris Tarrant (treated him for a cold), Davy Jones (The Monkees), Julian Barratt, Ben Elton, Damon Hill, Gary Glitter (Paul Gadd, when I was a young boy), Harry Hill, Henry Cooper, Derek Fairhead (Charlie from Casualty), Ash Atalla, Jeremy Dyson, Simon Pegg, Ray Galton, Bruce Foxton, Dave Gilmour, George Best, Chris Evans, Stephen Mangan, Tony Blair, Terry Scott, Frankie Howerd, June Brown (Dot Cotton), Tricky (from Massive Attack) and most of the Arsenal first team 1992-93, plus legend Charlie George. Victor Spinetti, Liz Fraser, Jim Davidson... Oh, and took and scored a couple of penalities against Gordon Banks as a kid.

I probably mentioned these when this thread first started, but here are the best ones:

President Bush I
President Gore
President Bush II
Al Gore
Hillary Clinton
Pete Townshend
Matt Groening
Milla Jovovich

And lots of musicians and actors/actresses in L.A.

Describe please!

I did a gig with him once, around about 1992/3. He was quiet yet polite, stayed around for a pint (I think). Can't remember much about his set, but I'm sure it was better than mine. :)

That was a real ooh!

You have done well, Dr. Tim.
