In a surreal moment - I bought Justin Timberlake a pint (of guinness no less) in the King's Wark pub in Leith the night that the MTV Music awards were on. Don't think he liked it though.

Hang him! Disgraceful behaviour! Let a bunch of Percy Thrower's descendants loose on him. Etc.
I was a scout as a lad and we HAD to volunteer to hand sponges out at the local running marathon event.
When Jimmy Saville approached we all bombarded him with sponges, lobbing loads at him, very funny scenes as we collapsed laughing. He did lot find it funny for some reason and called us a bunch of f*****ing little C**ts !!
Anyway we had to jump in our shagged out Scoutmobile van and move up the circuit 10 miles.
He did not recognise us as we passed up the sponge to him (that we all had pissed on) and proceeded to squeeze it over his head, he instantly turned round and then recognised the laughter, my claim to fame. 😀
Played club rugby with Jonny Wilkinson.

Baby Spice had a lucky escape 😉
Dad was an architect. One summer he had a promising student work at the practice. At the end of the summer my Dad offered him a full time job once his studies finished such was his talent. The young upstart turned him down because he wanted to play music. My fathers prophetic words were, "don't be silly, you will be wasting your time". The architectural student went on to form one of the iconic bands, Pink Floyd. The student of course was Roger Walters.
