Countdown Encounters & A Film Critic

Yesterday the Flea was invited by Mistress Memo to the book launch for Richard Whiteley's biography. He bounced along and found one or two celebrities had turned up to support the event, obviously friends of the deceased Mr Whiteley from the showbiz world.

Amongst those hobnobbing were Barry Norman, the craggy retired film critic (looking really old now as opposed to just plain old when he was on TV, or is that the effect of being on screen?) and of course Carol 'Consonant' Vorderman (who looks more orange and wrinkly in real life than on TV, or is that the effect of...).

The Flea noticed that before Ms Vorderman left, she supported the book by grabbing one from a table and walking off, whereas mere non-MENSA people had to pay for theirs.
