and i forgot ive met Jethro on many many occasion at his club in Oakhampton (dont know if he still has it or not) Jim Davidson (wa*ker) and the late great Bernard Manning, AND just to add another Mrs Colin used to go to school with Justin Hawkins from The Darkness (yes she is from Lowestoft) :p:p:p:p

 

any dis-believers are more than welcome to come round to my house for a cup of tea and look at my photo albums;)

 

Yes he does and his brother Mel lives about 3 minutes walk away from me.

 

I have meet Chris Eubanks who was in Tintagel for a reading and autographs ect.

 

And I have seen but not exactly meet Kate Winslet who owned a House here and Dawn French and Lenny Henry who also owned a House in Tintagel. And Joe Calzaghe who was here at last years Carnival.

 

Also I know very well a bloke called Steve Wilson, who used to be a childrens TV presenter then went on to do Steve Wilson Action Hero on another show on ITV, those of you with kids may know him. He also did a nice Christmas Singing thing last Christmas on ITV. Anyways he is married to our next dooor Neighbours Daughter. Top bloke.

Only ones I can remember, probably the only ones anyway :D

 

Miles Hunt from 'The Wonder Stuff' - Swan Pub Stourbridge. My mates were asking him if his band would like support for theres! The ego the young eh lol I think at the time nearly everyone in Stourbridge was in a band, I was even a drummer for a very brief time :blink:

 

Robert Plant - Prince of Wales Pub. Local pub.

 

Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin) - Used to live down the road, moved to Spain now I think. Bumped into him in Stourbridge a couple of times while he's been doing his shopping.

 

Never spoke to any of the above, always felt awkward pestering them while they are just going about there normal everyday lives.

Nicholas Lyndhurst asked me for directions once in Stockwell, i was no help, as i'm not that good south of the river, Linda Lusardi dropped her bag infront of me in Islington, i was out with a trainee who dived to pick it up before me :) she was a very nice chatty lass, Sam Fox used to have a bar in Tottenham high road she used to come in on weekends she was friendly enough, i've seen Vicki Michelle & Norman Wisdom & several members of the eastenders cast a couple times at charity events, never spoken to them though.

I know John Hough who directed some Hammer house films, the odd Disney flick, the protectors, the Avengers and many more, Kenny Thomas who was well known in the 80's for his soul hits is a mate of mine.

Here are a few pics from a charity event for gerald mcClelland at the Grosvenor & a plaque unveiling for the late Ron Greenwood at WestHam.

I forgot a few:

 

I got pissed with "Wavey" Davey Winder (PC Pro writer) and Terry Pratchett one weekend back in the early 90's. :friday:

 

I worked in the next office to the Duke of Westminster when I was at Bovington and spoke to him most days - when he was at work.

 

And I shook hands with Princess Margaret when she opened the Harman Lines at Warminster Camp.
