Who you met or who do you know? :dunno:

Me
Did cross country with Seb Coe at school 'but he dint know who I was then' :lol:

Sean Bean in my collage class (welder) not as hard as he come's across 'it's all an act'' :tosser:

Jarvis Cocker came on a narrow boat holiday with us when he was going out with my cousin (that song year 2000? rings a'bit familiar with the family )
but he couldn't put up his share brok3 for the holiday,
so we had to pick him (& his mate) up at the first bridge and then he kipped on the floor for the rest of the week.

Melinda Messenger used to come over to our place when we were kids. Her dad worked with mine.

Met David Jason at the airfield the year before last, and Prince Charles last year.

Mother's cousin George was reported by the Sun as being 'The Colonel', responsible for the bullion heist at Heathrow 25 years or so back. Georgie said he was working on his house in St Mary Cray at the time!

Charles Hawtry ('Carry On' films) got pissed in our restaurant and couldn't remember where he was staying that night.

I sat with Mad Frankie Fraser at an amateur boxing match a few years back.

Even now he's a scary little fooker.

Tommy Steele (not his real name obviously) was a client for a while and through him I met Adam Faith and Cliff Richard once. Oh, I was a bridesmaid at Molly Sugden's wedding, but I don't like to talk about it! :}
I know Gregorio Lavilla through my sister as she used to be his personal fitness trainer and he used to go out with one her mates. He's a real nice guy & always remembers me.
As a teenager, I met Kevin Keegan, Brian Jacks and Henry Cooper at the NEC.
I met Bono once (Newcastle City hall, early 80's), the Thompson Twins and the lead singer from the Gang of Four. Also met the lead singer of Reef in Croydon! Bought Lemmy a beer before a gig in Guildford, had a vodka with Nick Cave before a gig in town and had a few drinks with The Damned before a gig in Worthing of all places.
But my most memorable encounter was with Elton John & Eric Clapton in a ruby house in Guildford on a wet Tuesday night about 12 years ago. The Star of India - a right old dive to be precise. The place was empty (as usual) apart from me & two mates and them of course. As we'd left 'em alone to have their meal in peace they bought us a drink and we sat with 'em for a while before they left in a Ferrari parked on double yellows directly outside the Ruby. I still have the signed menu.

I have met many Infamous people [through my work of course] but famous?
I used to deliver Billy Bremners evening paper, went to school with Jack Charltons son John [he was in the year below me but in the same tutorial group], met many of the old Leeds team [from 70's] wife used to live next door but one to Paul Luty [Nobby the barman from Love thy neighbour], Barry sheene & suzanne Danielle [met them at yorkshire TV studios] Johnny saint [Wrestler] david Jason [whilst filming 'A touch of frost' in Wakefield] William Whitelaw [when he was home secretary] I slept through Prince Charles's visit to HMS Hermes so I never met him but my dad used to teach him at RAF Cranwell.

















I wonder if they have a website where they name the non famous people they have met. :p

I could have been famous!!!

I was in the same class through secondary school as Lenny Henry,
We called him bigfoot then.
My Mom gave him his bus fare to go to the studio for his first screening of the talent show he was on. ( he used to come round at dinner time on the way back to school, dont think he got fed much).
And he STILL has me Ironman comics !!!

Well a few years ago now I was staying in the same hotel in Dublin as Guns 'n Roses......... but me being daft as a brush I hadn't a clue who they actually were at first.

We'd been out for the evening and arrived back at the hotel pissed and then went to the bar for a few more.

Ended up spending the night drinking with 'em - they'd sent the roadies out painting any cows they could find in fields anywhere............. well it didn't seem that odd when we were talking about it.

I had a few beers with Andrew Roachford (cuddly toy!) in a bar in Sydney, also met Judi Dench's husband, can't remember his name - Michael something? - now dead, in a bar in Covent Garden. Charlie Boorman at the G-Mex - but did'nt everyone??? (Not sure if the last one is a claim to fame!)

From my days as a competitor and scrutineer, I have met, Nigel mansell, Ari Vatanen, had breakfast with Eddie Irvine, Martin Brundle, Shayne Lynch (the big ugly fecker from Boyzone) Spent a very pleasent afternoon at Snetterton with Mark Knopfler, Marku Allen, got pissed as a rat with Colin McRea somewhere in wales, Spent the entire interval at a Po Boys gig with Jamie Witham (1st class headbanger :bow: ) and various other minor race and rally celebs.

Met him who plays Onslow out of keeping up appearences at the Southampton boat show. Met Mansell again at the same place and he remebered our Donnington encounter!!!

Still have a 'family friend' connection with the actor Sid Livingstone. The actor John Bird used to be my 'next door but two' neighbour. Had a pleasent chat with Patti LaBelle at the london boat show. Had Chris Walker change two tyres on me car when he worked in his dads garage, and spent many Monday evenings at the Grey Goose pub on bike night. He was a mad fooker even back then :bang: Once had to adjust Vicki Butler-Hendersons Harness belt in her race car, while she was wearing it!!!! :lick:

Had to give directions to Sheffield arena to Eric Claptons driver, much to the disgust of the man himself who sat quitely in the back!!! Didnt get a back stage pass tho. :tosser:

Got shouted at by the actor John Alderton who was fishing on the river witham, cos he reckoned me wash was to big. Suffice to say he had a first hand demonstration of what 40ft and 15t of motor cruiser could do with 350hp!!! :tosser: :tosser:

Had many an encounter with ignorant boaties Whilst fishing rivers, they seemed to think they could just do what they pleased, they didn't like having a load of Maggots pulted at them though. not only that all the lead they were pushing into the waterways from their gas guzzlers killing the wildlife then blaming it on the lead shot used by Anglers.

Wouldnt have been so bad but we were doing the speed limit at the time of his complaint. Using 1 engine and given the waterline length of 34ft and a speed of 6kts going with the current, I think he was just being a wanker. And he got the same as anyone who wants to try and pelt my family with live maggotts. Whilst I grant you that every sport and pastime has its tossers, I dont consider my self to be one of em.
