My five minutes with Mr Noel Gallagher! xx

What I am about to tell you happened to me nearly ten years ago but the event delivered a question to me that I couldn't answer and still can't.

One rainy afternoon in November 02, Barbara Horspool - yes offa Channel 4 fame New Look TV Style the Nation, sent me on a mission. She requested that I get her son a copy of the Green Cross Code as he was doing some project in the scouts - and at that time B was a scout leader so wanted Jake to be equipped for his new venture in dodging danger on the roads. So being her design assistant and trustee of all things bonkers in keeping B organised I trotted over to Woolies on Baker Street - yes it was still on the high street map back then and I got on with the task of finding said book.

In my quest to find the book I spotted Mr Noel Gallagher laughing at me chastising the shop assistant for directing me to the highway code which was of no use to me. As I was amusing him I thought it was only fair that he should do something for me so I swiftly picked up the first card off the shelf and asked him if he would sign it for me. He was really nice and said "yeah no problem", to which I replied :" oh! shit I best buy it first - do you mind waiting". Not only did he agree, he waited for five maybe ten minutes while I queued, the till roll ran out and a busy little group of people started to take an interest in him just standing around in Woolies waiting for me.

I felt really sorry I had left him waiting so I bought him a flyte chocolate bar and he told me I was lovely! How nice was that?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noel liked me! When presented with this paid for card he asked me who it was for? I couldn't answer, so I just said. "This needs to go to someone special, who I love and would love this.......... to which he wrote the above message.... which I think is genius.

Anyway, I still have this card, which is slightly sad because I haven't found anyone I love enough to give it to but I am hopeful that now that I getting my ship in order that day will come and I will be able to say. I love you and so does Mr Noel Gallagher.

Thanks for tuning in & a special thank you to Noel, if you ever read this.

Peace, Love and Bananas
