going everywhere, totally un-noticed. 😉

My parents knew Giles the cartoonist from their sailing days and ihave been to a all night party at his house and i have about 12 signed giles annuals, whilst at the party i was looking at his xmas cards and there was one fron charles and di in they own handwriting not a print

ooooo…. went sailing with Nick Moloney and the missus asked him if he knew Ellen Macarthur. He didn't look impressed.

I went out with the sister of the guitarist from "London Beat"

i once filled paul gadd's (garry glitter) honda nsx up with petrol

Let's see… I went to Melanie Sykes birthday party, Robbie Williams was there(very fat) as well as Jamie Theaskston(tall).
Served Delia Smith champagne
Played rugby against the Croatian national side whilst representing Germany.
Watched Nil By Mouth with Ian Brown(well he sat in front of us)
I used to do that annoying aussie twun's garden that runs a papprazzi agency. Darren sumthink?
Used to live next door to Goldie and down the road from Vinnie Jones.

my wife worked with ted rogers' (dusty bin 321)nephew(who was a trolley collector) at Tescos.
She was also the model who got tripped up on the catwalk by Patsy in Abfab.
Save the best till last, Sly Stallone called her a moron!

Was at our sons pre-school AGM tonight and Jim Corr rolls in, he could have easily used one of the childrens seat soooo small he is.

Nothing can beat the night on QI when Alan Davies told the one about his mate who has a pube belonging to the Queen in a matchbox.

I built the wheels Rob Warner rode to third place at Mont StAnne back in 95.

If they had been tensioned & trued properly,pherhaps he would have won… 😉

When working at HMV in Derby in my early 20's we had Hugh Cornwell from The Stranglers visit for promotional duties. Upon arrival he was very rude to one of our female members of staff. I had the enviable task of popping round the corner to the local M&S to buy a selection of nibbles and sandwiches for our esteemed guest.

Upon my return the mini buffet was presented and smiles from the staff in abundance. Yet still the miserable prick continued to whinge. Enough was enough. Whilst he was out signing, I gobbed in his cobs.

Also whilst working for His Masters Voice I met Bruce Dickinson (miserable ****), Thunder, Moby and Stuart Adamson. Can I just say Mr Adamson was one of the lovliest blokes I have ever met. A true gentleman. RIP.

One of my mates met Bruce Dickinson at a fencing competition and thought he was well charming!
Another mate worked in HMV in oxford circus and says most of the celebrities he met in there were a bit unreasonable. Apart from Brian May who came in (just shopping) and tidied up the Queen section.

Tidied up the queen section. Really? That would of been hilarious to witness :lol:.

Feeble: Some of my software is helping fly satellites. Other bits are helping the Navy keep safe.

Strong: My mate's circus skills trainer has touched Angelina Jolie's bum (while filming Tomb Raider)!

Some classics here 🙂

My longest post ever, by far. Send it to 200!

The guy who headed up a company I worked for used to play bass when he was younger. His amp was way too powerful for him so he lent it to a mate, John Burnel. Who in time changed his name to Jean-Jacques Burnel and created probably the best bass sound ever…

My Mum taught Gary Sprake's kids (Leeds Utd and Wales goalie).
Served Ian Botham, Allan Lamb and Geoff Boycott and a few other cricketers when working at a pub in Headingley.
Thrown up in front of Eddie Waring when he was presenting prizes at a university beer promotion night where we had won a prize in a drinking competition.
Had tea in the kitchen at Worthy Farm with Michael & Jean Eavis – also took the Oxfam banner which is prominent on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage to the site.
Escorted Honor Blackman in a limo to a charity ball in Bath.
Also got range of people involved in charity events including Paddy Ashdown (top bloke), Jo Brand and Angus Deayton.
Cousin (very much older) was married to Laurens Van der Post (now dead) – who was Prince Charles' guru and godparent to Prince William .
Regulary sit in a sauna at the gym I go to with a member of Portishead.
Colonel Tim Hodgetts who runs the much-publicised unit for injured service personnel at Selly Oak hospital and who has transformed emergency battlefield medical practices went to my school and comes from the same village.

And the biggest missed opportunity was in my very first job declining the offer of going on a 10 day photo-shoot with two Page 3 girls and a couple of other models 😥

I had jiggy jiggy with the younger sister of a Miss World, well actually she came 2nd. No names, but she came 2nd in 1985, if anyone is that bothered to look it up.

Also, around the same time, at a house party I had a pr of sissors put to my neck by an angry younger brother of the Yorkshire Ripper. Very scary at the time. I was completely innocent, luckily a friend who knew him talked him down.

The two are not linked, other than by the town I grew up in.

A good friend of mine arrested Ken barlow in corrie, and later returned as JD last year in a couple of episodes, and has filmed one of the HSBC ads!

In 1979, my best friend and I rented a garage and started building and selling custom bikes assembled on frames that another guy we knew built in his own garage.

My friend's name is Gary Fisher and we called our business "MountainBikes." The guy building the frames was Tom Ritchey.

I was shocked to find out recently that I know Banksy (although not seen him for about 8 years)

^ I reckon Repack Rider wins it!

If the BS is to be believed my Dad's (departed) wife's granddad invented Newcastle Brown Ale.
They were also friends with the Burns's – of rally fame. I found out about 6 months before his retirement (and subsequent departure).

Repak, you must be annoyed you didn't stick with the group and continue building frames – or did you??? ;o)
