Is anyone else having problems with celebrity picnickers gravitating towards them when you’re out enjoying the sunshine with family and friends? Last weekend, we were having a picnic on Parliament Hill, when we became aware that Louis Theroux and family had pitched camp only a few feet away from us. Not only that, but they were then joined by Peter Serafinowicz, his wife Sarah Alexander and their children. They were then joined by James Delaney and his family. At this point, it was getting out of hand; is this the most celebrities ever to gather around a picnic blanket? The relevance of this? One of Louis Theroux’s sons was wearing a QPR away shirt — respect for supporting his local team.
Then, yesterday, we were up at Highgate Woods and it became apparent that Meera Syall and Sanjeev Bhaskar were hosting some sort of celebrations with a vast number of family and friends — right next to where we were sat. I should note that I was not a fan of Bhaskar’s ¾ length Adidas trackie bottoms. No-one was wearing a Rangers shirt.
Which people off the telly have you picnicked with this Summer?
PS. Whilst spending the day with the Syall/Bhaskar party, I was playing football with my 2 ½ year old son and rather than him just picking the ball up and running off, he finally got the concept of passing - tidy feet and great vision - used both feet without prompting too - and he asked me, “Which team do you like, Daddy?”, I said, “I like Fulham”, and he said, “I like Fulham too”. I was genuinely quite teary. This is a very important development as when I finish work in a couple of weeks, my wife is going to be giving me pocket money, and Fulham tickets and travel are meant to be coming out of that. However, now that my son officially supports Fulham, I can take him to games and secure funding from the Family bank account. Bingo. Chuffed to bits.

I've got some kind of celebrity blindness. Tina Turner could be working her way through a biriani on a rug beside me and I wouldn't notice.
Last week I managed to get stared in the face by David Attenborough and had to be told afterwards who it was - and I fcuking love that man. I put it down to a seriously bad stigmatism. |
It looks like you don't have any future as a celeb spotter.
I wonder if there is a gap in the market for a celeb detection app to warn the public if celebs are preparing to swarm on a location such as Parliament Hill? [Post edited 11 Jul 2017 12:54]

My mate was introduced to the rugby player Jason Leonard, and asked him what he did for a living. At a testimonial dinner for Jason Leonard. To be fair, he was only there as a corporate freebie. | |

Mate, you don’t know the half of it. My mate’s wife had bought along bunting! She hung it up in a tree — and it wasn’t even a birthday or anything — just a get together on the Heath. And we picked up our picnic supplies from M&S in Crouch End — which would have been the most middle class thing in the world anyway, but we managed to top it off by using our hessian Waitrose bags for life. And even more middle class than that, I got stressed about using the Waitrose bags because I thought it might offend the M&S staff, and said to the woman on the till, “I’m sorry, these are the only bags we had at home” and she quite rightly looked at me like I was absolutely mental. There was prosecco and G&Ts knocking about too. No red trousers, though. Too hot for those. |
Prosecco!?! You've ruined it now. |  | | |

Care to explain this, young man? Eh, Eh?

Is it a pin cushion or one of the cushions you kneel on in church? Either way, I'm not responsible for it. | |

I've nothing against individual celebs, it's when they gather in large groups I get worried. |
Any suggestion for the collective noun for celebrities?
a gaggle?
a torture?
an uptheirownarse? |  | | |

It was our friends that brought it along. Honest. I didn't want to embarrass them, so accepted a glass of the filth. We use it to clean the patio at home. | |

To be fair, my celebrity picnic chums were all extremely well behaved, as were their children. A credit to British TV. | |
