EC: "Mixing it with Celebrities"

Topics

I popped into one of my local Costa coffee shops to try the new Christmas range of drinks, in particular I was recommended the Hot Black Forest Chocolate - delicious it was too.

Anyway, I left work around 7pm, walked to my Costa of choice, ordered my drink and hot panini, sat down, fired up the smart phone, took a sip of my drink and casually glanced at the person sitting to my left. Immediately I recognised the face, it was Tricky Dicky (Ian Reddington) from Eastenders!!!

Below is a picture for those who are not familiar with him. Apparently he lives on Ecclesall Road (Eccy Road as the locals put it), so not too far from my place. I may befriend him and pop round for coffee and cake one day.

How very odd! I had a quick chat to the same guy, but outside a Chinese eating establishment near Oxford Railway station! Rexi will know where.

I've twice now not recognised Steve Stone & insulted him accidentally. He is such a lovely fella he thought it was hilarious and now he recognises me and says hello.

I don't know who Steve Stone is, regularly bump into Tim Burton and HBC in Waitrose (but studiously ignore them!) and assume you are talking about Sojo, Joe? I've never been there, but it made Giles Conran's list of top 10 restaurants, and I am going to book a table there right now! Thanks for reminding me, even if it wasn't the restaurant that you mean!

I read the thread title as "mincing it" and thought there'd been a seismic shift since your recent mauling of dancing with the entire female population of Sheffield..!
