Bizarre Tuesday!
 (United Kingdom)

So who said that Guernsey is a quiet little boring island???!!

Had a bizarre turn up for the books last night when myself and Carmen (my better half) headed to our local pub/hotel for a drink with a colleague who was over on the island for a couple of days. On entering the pub there were only 3 other gents sat at a table and the landlord and his wife were looking slightly sheepish. With an orange juice and glass of wine bought I turned to head for a table by the log fire when I suddenly realised that I was staring straight at the new Formula one world champion! No joke at all - Jenson Button was sat there with 2 of his mates having a quite drink!!

To say that I almost fell over is a little understated to be honest. It was amazing. I had to speak to him and what a nice guy. He was happy to have a photo taken and was really great seeing that he's here for a few days trying to get away from idiots like me!! Anyway, listen out in the next few days as he will be appearing on the Chris Moyles show on radio 1! How bizarre!

After meeting Jenson, I am definately voting for him and Brawn for sports personality 2009 - he really impressed me with his politeness and manner in which he was happy to talk to us. Top night!

A few signed beer mats on the way to Denise for the raffle on 14th Dec???????????

My son in law claims he always used to beat him when he used to race karts.

However, Jensen Button is a world champion millionaire and my son in law is married to my daughter!

I am sure your son in law would not exchange your daughter for all that fame and fortune.........
