Sitting in the 2nd largest escort agency in london (at the time) smoking and drinking with the owner.
One of the girls turned up and we were so drunk I was masquerading as a top brittish psycologist to hep her with her boyfriend trouble. Ivana (my wife) was the eminent couples counselling expert from denmark.
We had lots of fun with those girls, great people with a cool sense of fun ;)

In a stunt, I had to take a purse to the head, flip over a desk, onto the stage and into the audience. Well in this performance, as I hit the stage my pants split from zipper to tail feather. Needless to say these were tight pant, and because of such, I was not wearing any shorts beneath them. There were about 150 people in the audience, mostly younger kids forced to watch, but many had cameras. Flash photography still freaks me out.
I had to finish the scene, get off stage, and the show went on....
I was sitting on a bench in a deserted tube station trying to figure out what to do and a man came and sat at the other end of the bench. For some reason I blurted out my story and he said if I couldn't sort anything else out I could stay with him, and he gave me his phone number. I'm not totally naive but I felt like he was a trustworthy person and when it got to 2am and I still hadn't managed to find any friends in town during the holidays, I decided I would take him up on his offer.
Anyway, he gave me a room for the night and in the morning, over omlette and dates (surprisingly good) I found out that he knew my ex-husband, who had actually visited him in his flat! We didn't live in London but my ex used to go to a mosque in Peckham during ramadan, where he had met this man.
I said, half-jokingly, that I must have found him because I had a good luck talisman given to me by the sheikh who came from Cyprus to teach at the Peckham mosque every ramadan and he said 'Yes, yes, I have one too!' and showed me his little triangular folded up piece of paper with writings from the koran on it, exactly the same as mine.
My mother would have had a fit if she knew I had stayed with a complete stranger so I told her that I bumped into a friend of my ex. I didn't tell her that I didn't know it at the time!
