Poor Lenny, Poor Meat, Who's Next?

I've never really been a big fan of Lenny Kravitz, but always admired the way he carries off traditional rock star cool.
And then this happened on Monday. One day you're a rock god, the next you're being press-ganged into a piece on re-potting plants with a 'character' gardener (from about 2:50).

Does he have some big bills to pay or something?
On a similar track, here's Meat Loaf racing mobility scooters with Adrian Chiles on the One Show last week.

I think the link is the gardener - she turns up on the One Show too; I have a suspicion that she suffered a terrible indignity at the hands of an American rock star many years ago and has been developing a plan for revenge ever since.
Next week, Tom Petty is going to be attempting a new world record for shoving peas up his nose with chopsticks on This Morning. Possibly.

The athletes whose names grace

the medal winner's roll of honour behind Mr Loaf (that's the site of the 1908 Olympic Stadium) must be spinning in their graves if they're no longer with us. Any left alive should make their way to White City, properly tooled up for retribution.

It's not even that good...

It's a list of countries that participated in the 1908 Olympics, with the number of medals each country won. So none of the actual athletes' names grace it. Even more reason for them to spin in their graves.

(I know this cos I work in the featured building and pass the roll of honour every morning...)

We must have shared the same lift on more than one occasion

then, er, biscuit.

I like the fact that there were some exotic medals to be won in 1908.

Imagine Des Lynam introducing Rackets! Tug-Of-War! Motorboat Racing! Single and Double-Shot Running Deer! Jeu de paume!

Starting to suspect I walk around with my eyes closed...

Next time I'm in the office, I'm going to have a damn good study of that wall.... am starting to wonder if I always see it but never look at it, if you know what I mean.

Hey, we probably have shared the same lift! Or queued next to each other at the cafe! Hooray for the many delights of the broadcast centre...
