Spotted... David Hepworth
Posted by robram on 16 April 2009 - 6:22pm.
Walking through Borough Market this evening I spied the inestimable Mr H with, I can only assume, his good lady wife.
Couldn't resist stopping him to say how much I enjoy the Word podcasts.
They're recording a new one tomorrow, fact fans!
Swooning over!

I'm sure I saw him...
... presenting Animal 24:7 on BBC One last night.
Sure as heck sounded like him...
It's a good job it was the GLW
Or else we'd both be in trouble.
I figured as much
She seemed fairly used to a random stranger stopping you in the street!
Sorry, if I startled you, though. I'm not sure how often it happens, but it still must be quite odd.
I'm also going to go and see Crossbones Graveyard tomorrow - never knew it was there before now and it's spitting distance from the office.
Off Topic
I don't usually go south of the river on my infrequent trips to London, but I was there on Tuesday and if your in that area it's worth taking a five minute detour to visit the Crossbones Graveyard on Redcross Way. More a piece of vacant land than a graveyard as you would recognise it, but some locals have created a shrine to 'the outcast dead' on the gates and it's really quite moving: http://www.crossbones.org.uk/
There's no such thing as "off-topic"
I went there only this evening.
FT ran a good piece on it

Secret Britain
I saw it an excellent little pull-out the Guardian ran a couple of Saturdays ago called Secret Britain
Not so secret now
though...
sorry this is South london thing
anything Southwark can do SE8 can do better (sort of) St Nicholas's Church Deptford oh and Kit Marlow is meant to be buried here.....
Haunted In My Dreams
I saw David Hepworth in a dream, laughing maniacally whilst burning piles of mint condition Island Mott The Hoople LPs, and yelling 'I'll show you the life of the mind'.
Upon waking, I needed a few quick whiskeys to calm the nerves...
I saw him in
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Spotted
In other Word news I bumped in Paul Du Noyer striding majesticaly through Liverpool One shopping centre yesterday.
Probably buying a cravat
He does that most Fridays.
Mark Ellen
I frequently see Mark Ellen making his way through Chiswick on a dilapidated bicycle. He never wears a cycling helmet and, on the last occasion I saw him, displayed a cavalier attitude to the highway code by failing to stop at a red light.
Ellen Wheels...
...laughing in the face of danger, guffawing at the very mention of a Highway Code, pioneering a beard-focused market-downturn-defying 21st Century popular culture magazine available in mainstream retail outlets nationwide with a pigeon-post option for Rockall... All in a day's work for the Ellmeister!
