I may have battled with killer flies in jungle regions in the past, but now I'm so agoraphobic I can't walk round a National Trust garden without crying hysterically and having to have my hand held. I too wouldn't be able to recognise the Arctic Monkeys (I also managed not to recognise Noel Gallagher *or* Dustin Hoffman recently), but even I think I might be able to recognise Stephen Merchant.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-39545163295139911072007-12-27T21:27:00.000+00:002007-12-27T21:27:00.000+00:00Hmph.
