A true story

These players on Full Tilt should be shot...


No, start again, that's not the true story. It's true, but it's not the story.

Here's the story.

Yesterday afternoon I was walking down Wardour Street, on my way to Charing Cross Station, when another editor, Greg, was getting out of a taxi with his girlfriend and a friend of his girlfriend. Greg noticed me walking along the street, at which point the friend of his girlfriend pointed in my direction and near-screamed:

"Look!!! Look!!! There he is!!!!"

This puzzled Greg somewhat, since he was not aware that journalists in the insurance field had achieved such levels of fame.

Well, apparently we haven't. I just happened to be walking along the street next to Howard Donald, of Take That, and the friend of Greg's girlfriend is a fanatical enough Take That fan to actually recognize him.

For "arrested", read "shot in the head until well and truly dead". From your friendly neighbourhood bobby's point of view, you could be laden with explosives from head to foot...
