There are certain moments in your life when you realise your own true nature. I did LK today this morning and the big star of the show was Jon Bon Jovi.

Then there was me, carrying a laptop, headset and explaining how Skype worked and how to save money on international calls; cool factor about zero. Still, it could be worse, lifestyle commentator Nick Ede was there blowing up a large black beach ball as a suggested gift for a WAG wedding, as Bon Jovi walked past giving the funniest looks.
