Last night whilst at dinner wtih Alisdair, Megan, Oliver, George, Karen and I, Megan noticed that Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels', the trainers from the Biggest Loser show, were on the next table.
We spent most of the night giggling and watching what they ate and drank. I had an idea to send them a big fat dessert with a note "Are you tempted?" but the owner of the restaurant said no.
So when we were about to leave, I just walked up and said 'Hi, we're big fans of the show, do you mind if we have a photo?"
Now of course the other thing that motivated me was that some people have said I look a bit like him, just a little fitter... Well, I thought a photo side by side would be just the test we need. When I told him he said, "Yeah, I looked over and saw you and thought 'Is that me?'"
Jillian asked our names and was really nice and they both were lovely to talk to for five minutes. Bob even wished me a happy birthday even though I piked out of inviting him around for a beer. I was expecting him to ask me onto the show so I could be famous, but alas, it wasn't to be.
A couple more pics if you click on this one.
A fun night out and great food at the Macleay St Bistro.

Classic! Is it a funny angle or is Jillian only 5' 1"?

Happy birthday by the way! If you were a professional basketball player, you'd be starting to slow down, missing a few games with injury and having the occasional off night when a youngster abused you (on the court).
Lucky you're a marketeer!

I finally looked at this at home so i could see the pic. The one thing we did notice (that's Yasmine and I - i haven't turned all royal) is that you don't seem to know Karen's last name.
Happy bday by the way.

He's trying to protect my identity!
I think...
