Chrithtopher Livingthtone Eubankth

The Other Half nearly made a major faux pas on Saturday when we went down to Brighton for a barbecue on the beach.

We were celebrating Jenny's birthday but he arrived later, having watched Watford lose at home.

On his way to the beach, he was 'nearly knocked over' by one Mr Christopher Livingstone Eubank.

So he stopped and had a chat - Eubank was picking up his sons who were playing basketball on the seafront - and found him to be a 'very nice man'.

But then, unaware of how unanimously Brighton folk seem to hate the boxer, The Other Half invited him to join us for drinks!

Luckily, face was saved when Eubank said: 'Thankths, but perhapth another time.'

But as Eubank is one of The Other Half's biggest heros, he was happy and tucked the signed picture Chris gave him into his copy of his autobiography when we got home.
