I took my daughter to our local theatre in Northampton for the pantomime (Cinderella) just after Xmas. The regional theatres tend to have a celebrity playing one of the lead roles to get the crowds in. Milton Keynes had The Fonze. We had (not so) Little Jimmy Osmond.

Anyway at one stage Jimmy runs into the crowd with a super-soaker water pistol showering everyone. There was a large-ish walkway in front of our seats to accomodate wheelchairs, and Jimmy chose this row to run down. He got to the end of the row turned and ran back past me. What he and many other people have failed to notice is that my feet protrude from my chair by a vew inches. He ran back very close to me and tripped over my feet. He managed to keep his footing but did go sprawling with his arms waving.
I must admit we had a little chuckle about it afterwards.
Sorry Jimmy!

That's a moment to be proud of, Zammo. Have you considered attending the opening of Parliament by Her Majesty?
