Browsing his record collection one evening for something to play, Jack turned to Ianto.

“Did I ever tell you I knew Pavarotti?”

“Really? What was he like?”

“Well, I didn’t really know him as such, but I met him. Once. In passing. Okay, I nearly bumped into him outside a restaurant in London.”

“Ah.” Ianto smiled. “So you knew Pavarotti the way I know Charlotte Church.”

Jack looked intrigued.

“Saw her once from behind when she was opening a summer fair. Could’ve reached out and touched her but a crowd was in the way.”

Jack laughed.

“Yeah. Exactly like that.”

The End

Hehe brilliant.
I love Ianto's answer, and the fact that Jack has finally realised he doesn't need to try to impress Ianto.

Exactly! He launches into one of his stories and then for once tells the unvarnished truth, and Ianto doesn't think any less of him because he's nearly but not quite met someone famous too.

Thank you =)
