I had seen Vanessa Kirby in Streetcar Named Desire and the Crown. Didn’t know who she was tho. Just watched a couple of her interviews. So much depth and warmth. She is very good.
Chief Minister rather than Prime Minister no? I assume you mean Fabian Picardo? Used to go to some of his breakfast events at Gib House. He was at Oriel with Richard Tur as his tutor and the latter went to FBs swearing in as CM. Nice bloke as you say
I've poured pints for both Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards
I was bitten by one of Gerry Anderson's dogs at their home in Henley circa 2005. Mary (his second wife) who also kept whippets, re-assured that it was most unusual for the dog to be aggressive. I seem to recall it being a terrier.

He's a lawyer, so probs not too difficult to beat at trivia!
But, seriously, I met him and his wife in a pub a few years ago and he even included me in his round of drinks. Top man!
