And I bet that while Roland was turning on the charm Timmy Mallett was in the bar sinking a few shandies.

One of my favourite travel photos...Amos Brearly from TV's
Emmerdale , absolutely aghast at the quality of the snacks in the AF lounge at CDG.

A snapshot of one of my less than savory travel encounters. I've tried to avoid Gyles Brandreth throughout my whole life, so I was annoyed to see him perched on a couple of chairs, dressed in a skimpy outfit, in the SQ Lounge at NRT last March. I always wondered what he did when he wasn't working on dictionary corner on
Countdown .

It's the end of an era today on Countdown. To celebrate here's a picture I took in the Servisair lounge at LBA two years ago.
Left to right: Gyles Brandreth, Carol Vorderman, Richard Whiteley, David Hyde Pierce.

Whiteley
Vorderman
Brandreth
Stilgoe
People still talk about the Leeds United back four of the early 1970s, but this lot were absolutely solid.
