Arcatistes know of my inexplicable admiration for Peter Simon, one of the hosts of shopping channel Bid TV. The other day, while attempting to flog some bling, the poor man suffered what might be described as an on-air 'mucus malfunction'; or, a spontaneous snot bubble episode caused possibly by a sneeze or the release of a nasal blockage. It's hard to tell. I'm sorry to lower the tone. But sometimes one must. Here it is, click arrow once when you're ready....

I once had a breakfast meeting in a grand London restaurant with a well known Fleet Street editor (still there) who, part way through the meal, sneezed, sending a lava flow of green snot across his beard.
(Beard? You know who it is now.)
Bizarrely, he either did not know or care that it was there.
I did not have the courage to mention the fact to him, and it remained there for the rest of the meal.
Not that I ate anything after that point, of course.
I can't see this man now without thinking of that awful moment, that ghastly image....
Yuck. Simon Kelner?
