Ilford’s Christmas Press Lunch was at The Ivy (in The Private Room) in London, England
Very posh restaurant with an equally posh set menu – sadly I was vegetarian at the time so I didn’t get to enjoy what would have been a beautifully cooked piece of meat. Pasta anyone?

The hotel was great, had a top night dancing with Sara…she nicknamed me Tigger after that.
One guy on the dance floor was mr muscles and pulled his vest over his head dancing as though he was drugged up (probably was).
While we were dancing Martyn was chatting to a bloke he met in the bar. He had no idea who the guy was, apart from the fact all the girls were drooling over him. It turned out to be Ewan McGregor who’d recently started in Trainspotting.
I walked through the shopping streets of Dublin the following day and bought my leather coat that has since been referred to as the drug dealers coat.
Olympus created a Toy Story compact camera kit in 1996 so as part of the package they got to see a Private Screening of the first Toy Story movie at the Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Kensington Village.
The Camera was an Olympus Trip 200
