Not that it'll matter, you change your tagline so quickly these days!

It looks like the meet was a success. Whose PS d'you think I might have the best chance of finding photos on?

Jules

Hang on...you've changed it here already. Darn. Now I look a bigger twit than usual

I'm trying to remember who had cameras... the victorious quiz team were being photographed extensively as I arrived. Mercifully I think I managed to evade being snapped - I don't mind being photographed at all, but I'm rubbish at posing for photos. My face sort of freezes and I get this expression on that's much stupider than usual. Actually, if someone takes a picture of me by stealth, I'm normally quite grateful!

I think EV usually has photos but I'm assuming he's had a long journey back today so won't be sorted yet. Plus he's got that new website to look after!

I'm just keen to see what happened, I know I should just turn up one day but I like to keep my anonymity all over t'internet. What's really bad is that I like to see if people look like I imagine them to look but don't have pix of me anywhere. Double standards, I know.

And another thing - just been looking at your pix of that footy match, dunno why, I have a strange pull towards anything 'real' that folk I know have done in the media (by real I mean as opposed to filling up the www with junk pages), maybe it's Heatmagazinesyndrome, anyway, there I was...It's Lofty!!!!!!!!! Blimey. Never knew where he'd ended up 'til now

S'funny, my mate Ted is a dead ringer for Lofty. To the extent that he's occasionally had people come up to him in the supermarket and say "'Ere, you're 'im, aren't you?". And I was out for a drink with Ted last night - and the resemblance is quite startling. Although the real thing is older and shorter.

I thought the caption gave him the same name as the actor? Can't find the page now though...

Oh no, you're right! Tom Watt is the bloke that was Lofty, and he's the bloke that presents the sport for Radio London - I was with him on Saturday.

My mate Ted's just a bloke from Norfolk who looks a lot like him, although he's actually about 10 years younger, and a little bit taller and skinnier. But I've known Ted for years, so I see it as quite bizarre that I ended up working with his more famous double...

Maybe I should go up to Tom and say "Ere, you're a dead ringer for my mate Ted, you know".

'Oh no, you're right! '

Do not mess with Jules when it comes to minor celebrity knowledge

Hope you have a great roadtrip, btw
