There's a story going around that a man bought a BlackBerry for £16 on eBay which turned out to have been put up for sale by a film producer at Working Title. As a result, it has the following people's telephone numbers on it:
Julie Walters, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Fry, Louis Walsh, Julianne Moore, Paul O'Grady, Jude Law, Michael Gambon, Janet Street-Porter, Melvyn Bragg, Michael Attenborough, Neil Tenant, Alison Moyet, Beeban Kidron, Tom Stoppard, and Ben Whishaw.
Some dodgy friends there. But here's a Friday afternoon question: which, if any, of those numbers would you have written down before handing it back? And what message would you have left on their voicemail?
Incidentally, a spokesman for Working Title has said: "We are grateful that he will be returning the phone to us and shall be offering him a replacement BlackBerry and some free tickets to see Billy Elliot."
Billy Elliot - how sweet.
