That t shirt looks ironed... just check the sleeves.

it does, doesn't it? can't have been, though: at that time i was living in a hovel and didn't even own an iron.

it was probably the combined effect of the damp in my flat and the lack of ventilation; there must have been some kind of unintentional heat-pressing effect as it lay in a heap on my bedroom floor.

god. that flat. boak.

At the risk of making me sound like a complete twunt here's some :

The only ILXer who has been...

...on the Old Grey Whistle Test
...touched lightly on the hand by Kiera Knightley
...to Phoenix Arizona from London for a 3 hour meeting. Touched down at 2pm, got on the plane back at 8pm the same day.
...to the BAFTAs

I'm probably the only ILXor who has had dinner with Dudley Moore, Patrick Lichfield, and Tiff Needell (not at the same time) and spent a week staying in a French chateau with photographer David Bailey.

Any proof? The picture is pretty damning...

Ok, this is definitely going to rule this thread.
I am the only ILXor who witnessed the president of Mexico's daughters being spirited away from an American boarding school because Mexico gave the Shah of Iran asylum.
1980, I think.
It was very weird.
or maybe it was a former president of Mexico... anyway. the CIA came in to the dorm and literally carried them away.
Because their lives were in danger once the asylum had been granted, so they were, I suppose, flown directly to Mexico.
I don't remember their names.
I remember being woken up to allow the "spiriting away" of the girls, and being impressed with the efficiency that the agents had with packing. It was all over in minutes.

I'm the only ILXor who has been giving a spanking by Manuel Moriega on five consecutive occasions

yes the tense of giving was intentional. for a brief time he was my voodoo man-puppet.

... had a hole between his two front teeth made by surgery.

Goodness!

Why did I read that as Patrick Moore? He'd be fun though.

I'd love to dance with Patrick Moore! To the music of the spheres!

Isn't Patrick Moore a Nazi?

Well... he dropped a lot of bombs on Germany during the war it seems.
