McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looks a very tidy VW don't forget to tell us when its done we like to hear of successful outcomes.

K2-K6:
I like coincidental story like this Ted. My son has been watching back copies of him and Paul Whitehouse on their fishing program, no interest in fishing but likes the humour.

It's funny meeting someone famous as you've nothing in common and they (if in showbis) are not the character you see in their professional life.

Mrs K is embarrassed at me telling people I know Mick Jagger, based on him walking the other way on Wimbledon common once when the tennis was on. I looked at him thinking "that looks like" mj, then "ooh it is mj" realising be doesn't know me from Adam, but recognition that we both now know it's Mick Jagger, and we have nothing in common, eye contact made and slight nod of recognition from me, and him, we walked past.
It must be odd walking around being that well known and dealing with that. Strange life I supose when out in public.
Mrs K's embarrassment is only usurped by her being a stickler for detail as she always publicly corrects me, which is why I say it in the  first place  ;D

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A fella (Tony Hooper) my wife worked with at Hazelwood Foods in Derby  turned down an offer to manage the Rolling Stones back in the early 1960's he went on to have a great career as a Sale Manager in the foods industry.

Ironically his son dated one of the Bananarama singers - tragically he died in a field in Wales whilst working as a Shepherd of adult sudden death syndrome when he was 21 with his Sheep Dog found by his side. The death was initially treated as suspicious as he was so young.

I believe the Bananarama singer named her son after him many years later. Sadly Tony died a couple of years ago he hailed from the Bristol area.

Mrs K's mum was a school head too, and well practiced in telling people off. I think she was well trained also strictly risk averse, I even get tutted for crossing the road "freestyle" in London as she will always go to an appropriate crossing point   :D A character of quite considerable habit to which I have to give prior warning of deviation if I'm not to get into trouble. And if she wasn't listening, I get the blame fir not informing of said deviation anyway.

I've a miss K too, 17 going on 30 when it comes to telling me what I should be doing, which I'm very resistant to. More of a rebel though and loves going on the bike with me.

Son, 20 and more amenable, plus interest in all things mechanical etc and studying design at a London University, gives me an easier time.
My list of things not done keeps me busy though  ;D  Ahem, Mrs K's list in reality  ;D
