These are some of the people I know from home. In some cases I have tried to get away from them, leaving the country repeatedly and not giving them any kind of forwarding address, yet they still like to call me their friend. 

 

In the first photo is  my mum and our dog Bilbo. In the second, my dad, when we were in the Galapagos.

When my friend David and I went to the Farnborough Airshow many years ago, Dave decided to accost this Russian General (a chief of staff or something similar), flanked by Russian and British security in order to take a couple of silly photos. The reactions of the crowd are particularly good.

This is one of my favourite pictures of my friend Camilla. She was dying her hair and it all went wrong. Good reactions.

After leaving the pub to wet Rebecca and Tim's new baby Amelie's head, we ended up wrapping Mike up in electrical tape. I don't think any more information is needed. (phone-cam, so crappy shots).

   

From time to time, I help out a friend, getting celebrities from their place to a venue, where they are required. One such time was to get Barry Humphreys from his place in West Hampstead to Claridges, where he was performing at a private party. I took Barry to the job and returned with Dame Edna. He was a very nice guy and when I dropped him home, he asked if I had a camera, the only one to hand was the one on my phone, so it isn't the greatest quality. Anyway, here is a picture of me and Dame Edna in the middle of a residential street in West Hampstead at one in the morning.

 

When I went to Cirque du Soleil, I spotted some of the cast about to go on stage, so I got an impromptu photo with them, thanks to my phone-cam. Not the greatest shot.

Some photos from when I was doing my Post-Grad (PGCE) at Middlesex University click here.
