Thanks Jamie, with this house being a Tower of Babel thanks to English, French, Lingala, Portuguese and the odd bit of Flemish expletive thrown in there's no room for Debm!

OK I think I got it, this is about The Tour DE France, and you have been watching some poor guys falling off their bikes and you think its funny. Well its not they may have hurt themselves, scratched their bikes and might have hit a seagull, being up that high.

I was lucky enough to drive Mark Cavendish to Gatwick Airport a few weeks ago - he was back in the UK for a criterion around Smithfield Market before dashing home to the Isle of Man to "see mum" for a day prior to returning to Italy to prepare for the Tour de France..............phew - only the Olympics to go now then! A few years ago I was in Belgium watching the Ghent - Wevelgum race go up the cobbled climb of the Kemmelburg and the crowd went into raptures when the legendary Eddie Merckx stopped and got out of a team car.........good to see the feared "Cannibal" had turned into a BFB (big fat B to you sir) just like me!

That car of yours Merse, seems to have more celebrities in It than the queen has ever said hello too. Tell me after they get out, do you do a search in the back. You know the sort of thing, hairs, false eye lashes, nails etc, I only ask as I see many things appear on ebay, seller lives in London, so is it you, |

That's because of the number of "Blue Chip" accounts the firm that I exclusively work for - Addison Lee - hold. Taking pictures, asking for autographs is a strict no, no and I did once have a top singing star leave her BlackBerry in the car and had to troll round the high class "frock Shops" of Sloane Street asking if she was in there.................much to the disdain of the front door staff! Only on Monday I had the four members of Human League to carry from their hotel to a studio. remember them? Phil Oakey is nearly as old as me, so how come he looks so young..............even if he has shaved his hair off?
