MARCO PIERRE WHITE’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

29. April 2008

My girlfriend and I went to Marco Pierre White’s 30th Anniversary party last night – hosted by ITV. This was (unfortunately) an indirect invitation rather than a specific request by Marco for my company after our last meeting. I did have a chat with him and he did remember who I was from when we met on The Ventura…he said “hello beautiful, you’re that bird that talked about divorce”. “Yup, that would be me”.

It was a good evening. Lovely venue. Not very good food. We watched a preview of “Hell’s Kitchen”. Looks like interesting watching. He denies making Gordon Ramsay cry. He said “he made himself cry”. That was his choice to cry.

We talked for quite a while to Willie Harcourt-Cooze the new chocolate kid on the block. He’s much better looking in real life, although his hands have taken a bit of a bashing. When I told him that he had completely inspired my children and turned my shiny white kitchen into a chocolate mess, he was really pleased. He said that I looked like his wife, who unfortunately couldn’t be there and when I told my children that they said, “no way, you so don’t, she’s really pretty”. My kids were impressed that I’d met him and cross that I didn’t get his autograph.

On the way home my brother texted: “How was party?”

“Gr8″ I said “am now in love with Wonky Willy”

“Does level of attraction depend on perceived cocoa % make up?” He asks

“No. He just had hair”

“I suggest you re-examine your standards” . He tells me.

Yes, I think he’s probably right.

LOVE IS…..

My parents are still very happy together after 44 years of marriage and yet I can still find a way of blaming them for my marriage breakdown….they made it look too easy. They made it look like you could enjoy yourself without putting in too much [...]
