Once-famous Bo Derek and her husband John, at a mall in Santa Barbara, a few years after the movie "10" and the Tarzan movie. I was surprised at her height (reported to be 5'3' or 160 cm.) She seemed taller running on that beach in Dudley Moore's imagination.
I saw David and Victoria Beckham in Tesco in Prestwich. He used to regularly shop there when he played for Man Utd. I've also seen John Major near Leicester Square. Of all things I could have said, I said 'Alright john'. 😞
Originally posted by Paul Dirac II When I was about ten, our family waited at the airport for Dad to get in from a work-related trip to the East Coast.

Dad told us, "I knew he was on the plane, but he sat up in first class."
