    I once interviewed Alan Curbishley when he was in his underpants. Obviously not quite the same.

    I was on reception back then, when Rise was on channel 4 in the mornings. I used to have to take messages and coffee and stuff to the dressing rooms. Or more realistically, I'd just find an excuse to wander in. One time I had to "take a message" to those two and they happened to be undressed in make-up. I had to pretend it was all normal. It obviously went straight into the bank.

    So walking round channel 4 with a semi-on is the norm is it?

    Yesterday I went to the Wolesley for breakfast. Lorraine Kelly was walking down the stairs toward the toilet so being an upstanding gentleman I waited for her at the bottom so she could pass. Didn't even say thank you.

    B*tch.

    Michael Bloomberg recently visited my office and said hello. Horrendously loaded as opposed to particularly famous. Was going to ask if he fancied investing a few hundred million quid in a south east London soccer team but the opportunity never arose

    Does interviewing Rod Stewart via his intercom outside his massive pad in Epping count as 'meeting him'?

    Depends, does "interviewing" mean pressing the buzzer to say hello?
