Just Beyond The Bridge

Hello Mr Beer, Hello Mrs Tequila

Thursday, January 26, 2006

Being that I was ecstatic after completion of such a major part of my degree it was key to sustain the feeling with some party. This meant that after the exam I nipped back home, blogged, had some food, nipped back out for nine o'clock and the beginning of what can only be described ultimately as a course social.

Until last night the most exclusive celebrity event I have ever encountered was when I got my photo taken with Liza Tarbuck and Sandi Toksvig when they were doing a TimeTeam dig in Canterbury. I was too afraid to ask for a photo with Tony Robinson (the guy is a legend). I also once had my photo taken with Lucy Pinder and met Leslie Philips, which were both very cool moments for very different reasons. Dick Powell from SeymourPowell once had a look at some of my A-Level product design work, but apart from this and going to school with Nick Owen's son (from Midlands Today), there is little to link me to the celeb world. Oh I suppose I did go out with the daughter of an Olympic Athlete/World record Holder/the god daughter of Gladiator's striped Scotsman John Anderson. That counts too. But apart from these brief encounters my time has been devoid of mingling with famous people. I was therefore pleased to add another name to the list last night when I asked Simon Jones if I could take a photo of him with Rosie and Lianne. Initially he looked sceptical until I pointed out "they're the two blonde birds over there" when he perked up. Later I think I accidentally shoulder barged him (in the knee, he's fairly tall). A claim to fame and Totty Spotted while not totally wasted. A night of firsts.

Mike turned up a bit later. There was plenty of mingling with people; Wadd, Nature, Jim, Robbie, Tom, Joe, Action Cat, Emily, DDS, Coyle etc until Mike took me to the bar, handed the barman a tenner and got all his change in shots of Tequila, Sambuca and Whiskey.

After we'd finished up we headed to Mario's for food, but mortified the queue was ten minutes long, we took a taxi into town to Mario's HQ. It was then decided bad idea and we went for a curry at Far Pav. All I can remember was that we were the only ones in there and trying to say thanks in Indian.

Brilliant night, slow day today. I've got clients coming up from London (I think) tomorrow so it's best behaviour and a bit a of a tidy up going on this afternoon.

This is Just Beyond The Bridge
