I Spy With My Little Eye

ST LUKE'S: Almost completed a rare double celebrity sighting at the Barbican last night. After three and a half hours spent watching The Seven Samurai I was walking towards the Tube. I stopped to ask a policeman directions. Had I not stopped. Had I walked on fifteen metres. Had I been fifteen seconds earlier I would have seen the Queen. Would have fitted in nicely with Tony Blair who I saw in Tallinn in 2005.

Alas, it was not to be. The film was fantastic though. And afterwards it was the most crowded cinema toilet I've ever seen. There were queues. For the gents.
