A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Many of you may know that white port with ice, tonic and a slice of lemon is a very apperitif. Do not substitute limonata because you don't have any cold tonic water. This has been a public service announcement.

I walked past Stephen Fry in Soho one day. Thought, what a well-cut suit and coat, nice shoes. It was probably 10 mins before I realised who it had been.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”
