Oh dear me, I can only just imagine how grumpy Hislop will be in all the crowd idiocy abroad right now..
The Westfield W12 is hell on earth right now, large clusters of people shuffling five abreast in brownian motion paths, poking at their phones.. very slow going. Recommended if you want to meet bewildered Chinese mallrats with baseball caps perched at a 90s hip hop angle, or watch bored and sugar-stoked three year-olds make headlong and apparently blind bids for freedom at kneecap level, well out of everyone's sightline.
Actually Ian Hislop was smiling to himself. The news stand at Sloane Square always has Private Eye prominently displayed so possibly he was congratulating himself on this week's front cover
I once saw Ian Hislop walking down St Martin's Lane near Trafalgar Square. Nothing amazing about another famous person sighting in the big smoke, but during the same lunchtime I also spotted Carol Decker from T'Pau. Incidentally Hislop seemed to be grinning to himself then as well. Maybe he's working on smug, witty lines in his head.
Westfield in Stratford yesterday was perfectly bearable during the morning, and very quickly transformed to being Hell-on-Earth by about 1.30. It's all about timing. Thankfully all the pressie stuff is done so I'm just left with purchasing cheese and making scotch eggs.

Peter Jones was the name of my old headmaster
He walked around swinging a cane all day....
I'm sure thats not what you could mean

I just looked, and he should be ashamed, it's puntastic
So glad I live far far away from the madding crowd..............
Who is this Peter Jones of which you speak and why is he attracting hot men and Ian Hislop?
Oh it's a corner shop in Chelsea, and not the bloke from Dragon's Den. You learn something new everyday....
Clearly, Mr. Hislop loves a good metrosexual, who knew?
(..and also not the Peter Jones who was the original voice of the Hitch-Hiker's guide..)
It's a remarkably common name.
I once worked with a Peter Jones, he was like a fat version of Harry Enfield's Tory Boy with a personality like a puddle of puke.
Nice chap.
No it was definitely him.
But anyway, what are you doing on this thread VDOT? Bi-curious?

Oh and I was hoping to spy all the single straight women actually. It is always interesting to see who is on the hunt.
I'm not single - but I'm not blind either
