I've not been well this week (and last) so I've been working from home. The problem is, home is a building site right now, so it's not the nicest place to be. This has resulted in my popping in the local a few times for medicinal Guinness.

Anyway, I went in there yesterday, and one of the girls who works there came up and said, "this is going to sound like a really weird question, but have you been on the telly?"

I replied "Crimewatch" (the obvious lame joke, given my birthright), which she took at face value... I then felt compelled to resist the temptation to say that I used to be Zammo in Grange Hill, and tell her that, while I have made one or two TV appearances (like most people these days), I'm not an actor or anything like that.

I then overheard her telling the other staff what I'd said. Seemingly I've been the subject of some debate in the pub for the past couple of weeks.

I could have had some fun with that. Perhaps I could have got a "resting actor's discount", or something.
