Glad to see you mentioned Tina Turna on the 26th Chas. Seen her twice in concert here... PDG! She actually lives 10 minutes away in a villa that she's leased from a squash colleague (you can't buy a villa on Lake Zürich, no one who owns one will sell). He was Andy Warhol's agent here and I had one of those stops-you-dead-in-your-tracks moments in that house. I was training on the fitness machines with another squash friend in the house before Tina leased it. After training we made our way down to the lake for a dip. As we walked through the living room there was a huge (several meters square) Andy Warhol original on the wall. Now that is impressive enough. Then I realised that I knew the people in the picture... it was of the colleague's wife and 6 kids! Now that's classy!
My daughter (who's lives during the week in the same town) said she bumped in to Tina in the local Co-Op there in summer. Apparently Tina didn't recognise her :-) but did say hi!

I'm often tempted at times not to put in the popular name of some of these people just to see who actually recognises them. How rude of Tina not recognise Ali though lol
