Jamie Oliver - The naked chef

Heh, I'm proud to say I've met Jamie Oliver in real life! Whoaa... Put it this way, I've seen him yesterday for his book signing at Waterstones (Oxford St). His latest cookbook was hot selling at £16.99, and the queue was horrendously long - imaging it circling around all the shelves at the basement of the store. I did think of getting one, after one look at his devoted fans, I decided against the idea. I had made the trip during my extended lunch hour (its 2.5hrs!!) so I couldn't possibly spend the whole afternoon there. He was fashionably late for half an hour - big stars always do this, don't they! But he wasn't a let down at all, he was posing with that big grin for his fans and media. Damned one thing, I forgot my digital camera. I had to resort to the low-quality camera phone, can't say how glad I've bought this now.

Anyhow, I'm not a Jamie Oliver fan, I'm more excited to meet "famous" people in London for once since I'm here. I do watch his shows though and I thought my lil sister loved him (maybe I'm wrong)!
