00:00When I had my kneecaps removed, the left one first and then the right,
00:04I asked my surgeon if I could keep the kneecaps, which he was rather startled about.
00:09Then I rang you and said, would you prepare to, if I gave you the left and the right kneecap, to do what you want with them?
00:18We baked them.
00:21We baked them?
00:22We had to bake them to get, dry them out.
00:24Okay.
00:25Then they get rather like pumice stone, they're very porous.
00:28And so we had to paint them with acetate and then just polish them up.
00:31And they ended up in this very nice sort of...
00:33That is amazing.
00:35That's the right kneecap.
00:36That's the right kneecap.
00:37That's my right patella.
00:38My surgeon said I had the worst knees he's ever operated on.
00:41That hole was actually in my kneecap.
00:44It looks a bit like an old artifact from Egypt or something.
00:48Well, I think that's what these sort of things are.
00:51They're kind of talismanic.
00:52I mean, I love doing things that actually, you know, in a thousand years, this will be, as it says,
00:57here, this will be Elton John's kneecap.
01:01How many people will believe that?
