In a recurring themeanother of my friends had a vaguely sexual experience with a celebrity.
He was drinking at the Oxford Union, when who should walk in but John Sessions, legendary polymath and general man of knowledge. Stephen Fry, but less.
So, this being the Oxford Union, the patrons of the bar fall about in paroxysms of hero worshipping nervousness. As it happens, my friend controls himself, has a pleasant conversation with Mr Sessions, and indeed the two become such fast friends that they exchange numbers.
They meet up again and have a few pints at one of the more expensive hotel bars in Oxford (the Randolph, for those who know.)
All this is regaled to us with the smug air of someone who has a celebrity mate because they're cool enough to not be intimidated by them. They're such fast friends that he was even invited to the Groucho Club down in London.
We listened to this story of male bonding with initially excitement, respect, and then gradually amusement. Eventually, by the time the invite down to London was mentioned, we were practically doubled over with laughter.
"You do realise of course, that John Sessions is gay, and that he may have taken a liking to you"
"No no, he's not gay, he just bought me a few drinks"
"No, seriously, he's gay"
"Oh, so he wasn't just being friendly?"
"I think the term is 'grooming'"
He never went to the Groucho club.

Oxford HotelsI've stayed in the Randolph. It's shit (and bloody expensive). But then, so is every other hotel in Oxford (spent a 7 month stint working there 5d/week) - they very much don't think they have to try.
Ended up in a lovely guesthouse in Summertown not on the official accommodation lists. Cheaper, nicer, and a cooked breakfast tray to my door every day. WIN.
