First amusing conversation instigated by Neil Channing: The masseuse currently working the knots from Peter Eastgate has apparently been in a movie just released recently (I don't know which one). Channing decided to tell the table they had a famous film star working on their tense necks, and duly embarrassed her into admitting that this was true. He then asked her if she knew she was massaging a World Champion of Poker. It appeared not.
"Are you really?" she asked, sounding sceptical.
He nodded.
"Who's more famous then," he continued, "You or him?"
