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.

Nah, this is the genius who sold his shares to LH.

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.

I'm sure if you were to poll the UK's OAP population, currently numbering about 110 million, the concensus would be that this is Countdown's finest ever line-up.

Whiteley

Vorderman

Brandreth

Stilgoe

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