Meeting Army Men, Bloggers, Etc

Guess who I met at Quality Supermarket on Saturday and who chatted with my Mom, sis, her kids and I as we wrapped wedding gifts for our friends. He had to chat with us after Mom told him we were whispering about him and how we had seen him on TV. Former army spokesman, Major Felix Kulaigye.

He said, "I hate being recognised by people when I have no idea who they are."
"As a public figure, expect that to happen to you all the time," said my Mom.
"As soon as I saw the number plate, I knew there was an unusual person around," I said to him.
"And what is special about my number plate?" he asked me.
"Well, it's different," I said. (It had SSE and some other funny letters or numbers)
"If that is what it takes..."

We then let him wrap his gift first since he was there before us. He thanked us. Played a little with my nephew and niece and said 'bye ladies' as he was leaving.

After Quality Supermarket, guess who we saw at my friend's wedding as we were lining up for food. I whisphered to my sister. 'That's him' He was standing a few metres away from us. He looked as if he was inspecting something. Not wanting to flaberwhelm him like the Major, we restrained ourselves from going to him and saying hi. Nadala my sis who is the more daring one.

And guess who I think I sat next to on my way from Vision Voice yesterday. I think I sat next to him

I had just won an air ticket to London from British Airways and was busy sending my family and friends text messages about it.

Naye, I don't know where I will go once I'm there because my brother is now in Denmark. One of my British friends wouldn't mind hosting me for a few days though. Then there is my boss. Will he let me go and come back?
