Isabel Davies:

I went on holiday with a bunch of girl friends to Barbados. 

did i see you at the gay pride march ?

It's one of those phrases that has a number of meanings, isn't it? Sorry to disappoint, but it was just a girly holiday. However, I would be happy to accompany you on the march next year..

Forgot to mention - I had a chat with Dec (as in Ant and Dec) in the local chinese - it went along the lines of ...

''alright mate''

'' I canny thanks'' as he drank a bottle of budwiser -

i got the mick taken out of me all night as apparently i treat him like a friend and not as a celeb - so what!!?

NOTE - tv does alot for him - i towered above him - he had to look up AT ME!!!

Some years ago I got conned into collecting for the BFSS (this was pre Countryside Alliance days) at Gatcombe Horse Trials. We were told we had access to all the grounds and hospitality tents. Walking around the back of one of the grandstands I ran into Princess Anne about to give out some Police medals. I rattled my bucket and asked her if she would like to contribute to a worthy cause. She told me to naff off.

 Such is life , I know my place. 

Jeremy Clarkson: The older I get the more I agree with his views. My wife worked at a charity motor race event at which he was driving and said, of all the celebrities, he was the most polite and down to earth. He's a great countryman and I just wish he'd 'nail his colours to the mast'  a bit more!

In my celebrity selection box are Richard Hammond and Bill Bailey, for the simple reason they look like they need to be taken home and given a cup of tea and a piece of cake! And I find them funny.

I'm also a fan of Sara Cox, couldn't stand her at first but she has grown on me as the years pass!

Celebrity hates include any WAG, Posh Spice and Brittany Spears (although her fall from grace is strangely compelling). There are others but their names have escaped me (perhaps I have blanked them in horror!)

We've mentioned Clarkson and Richard Hammond - but what about the third member of the club?
