Star spotting … sort of
Did anyone see that BBC programme about the bloke in a wheelchair who visited a Spanish brothel to lose his virginity? (An excellent programme highlighting an interesting issue about disabled people, in my opinion).
Well, I saw his friend (the good looking one with the long black hair) on the DLR the other day. In the documentary, he went along with his mate to the brothel and then decided that it wasn’t for him.
I would have liked to talk to him and tell him how much I enjoyed the programme, but he was busy chatting to his friend, so I didn’t say anything. I was also a bit worried that it might be a bit intrusive … What do you think? Is it OK to go and speak to people in these (rarely occurring) situations? Obviously if someone’s a film star or something then it’s a bit different … but someone who’s made a programme about a personal issue like that? I’m not sure.

I met David Niven once(1).
It was in a restaurant in Sta Eulalia.
He was trying to eat his lunch but as the meal progressed looked more and more fed up because people kept bothering him.
They’d walk up and say, ‘David, sorry to bother you but… isn’t that Brennig Jones over there?’(2)
(1) This is true.
(2) This is patently untrue.
