Stefan, I'll have you know that I'm the only gay in the village. Please move elsewhere.

I like your thinking, BMqpr.

Which has got me thinking about what I would like as an event.

I noticed a while back that Annie Lennox’s name is on the wall as you glide in through the sliding doors of the Horniman Museum. Annie Lennox is a patron. Alongside, Sting, Mick Jagger, Tom Jones and Rolf Harris amongst many others. Here is the official list of Patrons and Benefactors etc of The Horniman Museum and Gardens.

Here is my fantasy event…

Annie Lennox doing an acoustic set in the gardens on a warm summer’s evening. I’m in the VIP Champagne tent. Naturally. Outside of the VIP Champagne tent, tickets are limited to 5,000 of the great unwashed. I’d treat myself to a £100 ticket for something so exclusive.

That’d be a real little money spinner for The Horniman.

Looking at their statement of accounts from last year I’d say that my fantasy one off event could almost generate about 10% of their grant-in-aid income.

Continuing with my fantasy…Sting would join Annie on-stage for a song or two towards the end of the evening. Something with a soft Spanish guitar accompaniment. Then somebody would spot Rolf Harris with me in the VIP Champagne test, with his wobble board, and the crowd would erupt in spontaneous applause to encourage him up on stage for “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport”. Magic. Pure SE23 magic.

BTW, wasn’t there a wallaby in the animal enclosure during the 1990’s?
