The Beckhams popped into Hertford the other week (again). I Still think the most impressive "guests" Were Spielberg and Hanks a couple of years ago, tucking into their pasta!

Who is Rupert Grint? Are you being serious? Seriously, he plays Harry Potter's ginger mate Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films. I think he goes to Richard Hale. My other half spotted Sol Campbell in the Co-op, Sele Farm a while back. And Graham Taylor has been spotted in the bakers up there as well. Who would have thought that Sele Farm would be such a hot bed for football spotters!

Sol Campbell is a Hertford regular. If you spend any time in the town centre it's only a matter of time before you see him. No points for spotting Kim Wilde either. Paul Gascoigne, Sheryl and the kids cycled past me on the tow path the other day. I spotted Robert Duncan from "Drop the Dead Donkey" in the White Horse one Sunday lunchtime. If you see an old army jeep broken down at the side of the road, chances are that it's Chas from Chas'n'Dave. He really ought to buy a more reliable car ;)

Pass me a sick bag someone!!! [V][V] We were in the same coach on Eurostar as Jade Goody returning from Paris last year. That was toooooo much then. One shrieking child launched on her hip and another on the way,trolling up and down the gangway for three quarters of the journey. They looked as if they could have done with a good wash!

Did you really hear she sings or are you on the understanding that she sings? Anyway, could that really be classed as entertainment?

Ah so it is true, the Missus told me that they filmed the Mini Den & Sharon wedding at County Hall (don't watch myself...no really!). Did the local press not pick up on this or does this kind of thing happen all the time?

The local press reported on them filming. They usually mention when a film crew is in town (Foyles War, Bleak House, Eastenders, etc). Shire Hall was used for Eastenders a few years ago. Also, I noticed fresh 'LOC' signs on the Iceland roundabout so there must be another film crew around.............any news on this?

At the risk of repetition the town is all agog and aglow with the Jade Goody business to worry about Eastenders at the moment

Yes, I saw the "LOC" signs too and have been wondering what they were, might pop up there to find out. I did a bit of work when they were filming Foyles War.

If you are opening an office in Hertford, does that mean you will be able to attend meetings for the Pudding Fair? Sorry admin - off topic - had to catch Darryl there though!! [^][^]

Is Admin currently on holiday – I’m amazed that these postings haven’t yet been deleted with instructions to open another relevant post. Ewoowar – yes truly independent. Rooster – I’ll come back to you on this one. Like everyone else things are hectic and before I promise to commit anytime to something else I want to know that I have the time available as I wouldn’t like to let anyone down at a later date (so its not a matter of getting off my arse – yes I did read your other post). Yes with our Company moving to Hertford, hopefully this will free up more time, so I would hope that I could offer some assistance. Unfortunately the move is on the same date as the next meeting so I might have to miss that one as well. Emma – thanks for that. I have seen M&S Cleaning advertised on yellow pages and had thought about contacting them. I will give Mark a call to arrange to give us a quote (I hope there is a forum discount!). Anyway back to those celebrity sightings…
