    His son Jason was a bit of alright unfortunately you don't hear of him now.

    He’s lost his hair and put on a little bit of weight now (OMG he sounds just like me:eek::eek::eek:)

    I did meet him once SA - years ago when he was younger - he was a client at one of my previous employers. Well when I say met him I went into the room where he was having his meeting to deliver some papers and we both said hello!:rotfl: All the girls on reception were twittering away excitedly when he came in!

    Weigh in day today. Lost 5 lbs :j!

    Today wasn’t a NSD though as I bought the cinema tickets for the weekend. Can get cheaper over 60s tickets now and 10% discount for booking on line!

    All back to normal at work - it appeared a full office today and all our desk was back.

    Had chili and baked potato tonight - rest of chili went in freezer. Diet day from the 5:2 tomorrow.

    Enjoy your evening everyone.

    Of course, I used to watch Robin of Sherwood many moons ago. How exciting to meet him, although I think I'd rather meet his dad :rotfl:.

    I nearly met his dad as well Hairy! I was having my eyes lasered about fifteen years ago and Mr Connery Sr walked out of my surgeon’s office just as I was going in. I didn’t really clock it was him - aware I knew him from somewhere, but then my surgeon said “Oh did you see Sean Connery there as you walked in?”:mad:

    Right I’ll now stop sharing my stories of my life amongst the jet set!:rotfl::rotfl::D
