Today in his motoring column for the Mail on Sunday young Mr Martin wrote:
"Womens breasts. Thats the wierdest thing I've had to autograph. And you do sign a lot of autographs when you're on television - it doesn't matter if you're George Clooney or, well, me. Ladies will chase you down the street and wave things at you to scribble on. I've done quite a few breasts as it happens. Regretably they weren't the ones Victoria's Secret models keep inside their tops. These were the type you have to bend down to sign."
Tigger, please, please reassure me on just one thing.
He didn't have to bend down 'cos you took a stepladder to spare his back.

You wish.
No - I wish!
I just asked him to sign one of his books. Such a disappointment to you Peter.
At least I can go out in public and not draw attention to myself. Well, no more than I have done for the las 30 years or so.

Thank heavens, I am reassured and relieved that you kept your dignity.

I'm more than relieved it was a book; you do realise Peter, Tigger would never have washed again?

Hi Chantal,
I feel that she would go directly to a tattooist before it wore off!
Received Malvern details this morning and JM is doing his bit on Sunday 30th Sept so we all know where Tigger will be on that day!
JB.

Blimey Pongeroon, if you PM me your address, I'll send some Bonios for your guide dog.
Perhaps you're seeing something I'm not.

OMG - JM at Malvern on my birthday! I didn't know he was going to be there. All my birthdays have come at once!
Pity he won't even notice me.

Easy Tigger, easy now. Don't get over excited.
Shame I can't make it this year to Malvern cos me and Grock would've held him down for you

I don't want to scare him Jopsy.
Just a signed photograph of him for my new kitchen would be wonderful!
After all, I have adored him since 1996, got a full set ( yes - I do mean a full set) of his saucepans, two full sets of his knives, been to all of his performances at the NEC Good Food Shows to date, etc., etc. I even have a tape of his 'Full Monty' moment for Children in Need. Anybody would think I liked him!
Good job I have an understanding OH and one who reluctantly agrees that the pans and knives are of an excellent quality - even good enough for him to use himself!

It's true, he's going to be there. I had been hoping it was all a dream but

here's the evidence, complete with "moody" photo of the "6'4" handsome chef".
Tigger's away this weekend so you can all say anything you like about JM
