Isn't Billy a bit old for Disney stuff ?

Unless of course they were modelling him as their latest superhero creation .

Au contraire Pinks dear boy ….. looked like he was buying the grandkids some presents on Sunday outing.

Couldn’t help notice Buzz Light Year and Captain America looking up in awe to the great man :D

Seriously though – what an unbelievably nice fella. Meeting your hero is one thing, for him to be so enchanting, talkative and warm was completely mind blowing. My daughter even gave him the crossed irons when instructed!

Just goes to show how special Disney is and that you’re never too old to enjoy its splendour.

Saw Bernard Cribbins again today. In Waitrose.

"Go and fetch a sirloin for the dog". Yes, that was definitely overheard, and not made up by some bitter congenital labour voter.

Tramping through the Christmas jungle that is Basingstoke Town Centre today, I wandered into Waterstones and saw David Attenborough .... signing books .... such an awesome fella, what he has done for awareness of the natural kingdom ... also a smile for everyone and a quick word. No mean feat for an Octogenarian and a queue of about 800 people - all of whom looked so excited in anticipation of meeting the man. Not really what you expect from a queue of folk in the run up to Xmas!

Bit of a cracker this. I was in Waitrose looking at the Tequila and Cleo Rocas turned up. I told her I had bought a bottle of her brand of Tequila http://www.aquariva.co.uk/home.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and we had a discussion about it and other tequilas. She's a lovely lady and really friendly - she knows her tequila too.

In the end she said "You've made my day, let me give you a hug!"

Hugged by Cleo Rocas in Waitrose - made my year :)
