I was nearly run down by Arki Busson two nights ago in Chelsea. Errors were fifty-fifty, I'd say.

I was going down the road when I came to one of those cobble stone round-abouts, and turned right as usual, but was unaware there was a car behind me. i was a bit distracted as it had been a heavy day. Normally, I indicate, but once you start turning, it's too late to start putting out your arm.

I was making the turn, and suddenly found a black Range Rover nearly on top of me. I shouted "What the hell you doing?" and a crowd formed, doorman from hotel etc.

Busson put down his window and told me I should have Iput my arm out. I informed him that he shouldn't be driving over round-abouts, on which he happened to be parked.

He said sorry and I accepted it. Could not see whether Uma Thurman was beside him, as I think they are back together.

    What some might consider to be a very lucky man - he was Elle McPherson's boyfriend for 9 years and is the father of her two children. He is now engaged to Uma Thurman.

    You probably won't be surprised to hear he's worth millions - has his own hedge fund.

    My wife, a lawyer, expressed sympathy when I told her. Then added he 2should be good for compo". Actually, he seems to have lost a bundle with bernie Madoff

    I can't think of anything worse than being with a woman who wanted me for my money. Though in the short term the hate sex might be fun.
  • Tens of millions, I'd say.

    He's also a geniune philanthropist.

    B@stard. I hate him. :evil:

    Well, he hosts a party every year which people pay a fortune to attend. Does he do more?
  • So he is probably in the minority of Range Rover owners who might actually need one, he probably has a country estate, if not an entire state somewhere.

    It’s not like Uma Thurman is a tramp though.

    They have split up apparently!

    This is his charity. I understand he has donated.

    I think even that is very conservative, it'll be more than a billion

    I'd never heard of him till now. I think the most famous person I might have a commuting altercation with is Jasper Carrot.

    well he obviously needs it to drive over roundabouts.

    never heard of the bleurk but if he's got his hands on Uma then I'm terribly jealous.

    Plenty of footballers round by me, I see Maik Taylor (Blues keeper) in his Audi tank most mornings, he even stopped to let me pull out of a junction, which was nice.

    I'd rather not have a run in with Stan in his car :shock:

    Mine was Keith chegwin - he stepped out in front of me and I managed to avoid him = years before that the nice Hugh Skully stopped his car to let me and my sister cross the road - we were just little kids then and Skully was on our local telly.
