At least, if it wasnt him, it was his 100% dead ringer, including height, hair and sunglasses! Was walking down the High Street on my lunch break, and there he was!

Surely not?!?*! was he also carrying his lunch, maybe a sandwich, and a newspaper, or an ipod? Did he have his bootts and jods on? Or just some normal work trousers?
 
Also, if you can catch the middle bit of last nights comedy show with Russell Brand as host, then you may get over the James Blunt obsession a bit! He was so funny, he said, James Blunt sings and talks like a car horn, and (you know a noddy type car horn!) and said that may be why he left the army, as his orders would have been the same! PMSL at that!
 
LOL this is going to sound like shameless name-dropping but Yogi used to ride my first horse - even did an eventing demonstration on him when I had him at Waterstock! But this was a long time ago, before Yogi became really famous, when he was still working for Lars Sederholm.

And yes, the horse was another pure-bred Arab stally - Yogi had no prejudices against Arabs, bless him! Such a nice person, and great fun to ride out with - always kept us giggling with a stream of really dirty jokes...

Yogi told us not to buy our first pony. She was too old, small and too lame. We bought her anyway, he was right in every respect - but we love her anyway 13 years on and now aged 37!
 
We have a message on our home answerphone from yogi from april 2007

my parents keep trying to delete it but I won't let them. My sister went round a PN faster than the intermediate time and got in a spot of trouble for it

. He used to phone our house in the evening and say "Hi, it's yogi here, is your mother around?" which left me star struck every time

Hm

Used to do Masterclasses with Yogi at the Pinnocks Wood Equestrian Centre near Maidenhead in the mid-90's.

He helped me thrash the rest of the yard in a dressage competition on a grumpy ex-racehorse that everybody else had written off
