Just when I was about to lament the lack of reports, I get THIS:

Spotted: James Casey talking to Pete Townshend of The Who in the Arcola Theatre in Stoke Newington after a performance of ASH last night. Townshend was in black, Casey was wearing jeans, a cream jacket and a Rolling Stones t-shirt. Beat that!

Er... I can't, Dan Phillips. I can't. And I can't question the sincerity of the statement since it does make sense both of them would have been there...

Ladies and Gentlemen - what can I say? There is a new standard; the bar has been raised. Get out there and get your eyes open. The only way is up: I confidently predict sightings of Bean lounging on a yacht with Keith Richards in Koh Phi Phi Island Bay before the year is out.
