I’m watch­ing Thank God You’re Here on Chan­nel 10 and I’ve real­ised I recog­nise one of the ensemble cast. It’s my old mate, Daniel Cordeaux, also from the old Theatres­ports and ATYP days, who I always thought was an abso­lute stun­ner. In some ways, I was better friends with his sister, Solly, but they were both fabulous.

Daniel and I would catch up every six months or so for coffee in New­town whenever I har­angued him into it and I think I went to the occa­sional party he held. I think he knew I was inter­ested, and well, he never was. And I’ve just checked: I do still have a mobile number for him. I should text him and con­grat­u­late him… assum­ing he’d remem­ber me. Hah!
