Two spring to mind...

 

Met and briefly worked in the same dept as Sabine Reck (aka Sabine Schmit ring lady)... but far more excitingly I flew back from the US with Daphne and Celeste sat behind me... how thrilling is that!

 

*groan*, they never shut up or stopped whining...

Out here in darkest Shropshire people allegedly go out with their own daughters.... How true this small gene pool malarkey is I couldn't possibly say, but their are some bleedin' ugly people with funny habits round these parts :)

 

I once went to Gloucester and all the daughters looked exactly like their mums. Looks, weight and the way they dressed, floral pattern dress and wellies. Made me shudder:)

I had a drunken conversation with Richard Branson in a Wan Chai (HK) nightclub one night, haven't a clue what I said to him.

 

Steven Segal has met me and shaken my hand in the French Quarter in New Orleans, I hear he still tries to impress his mates down his local pub with that story :)

Ive met loads of famous people;

 

Will Carling (knob)

 

One of the old geysers from "Last of the summer wine", Cleggy it was, he was a troublemaker.

 

Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog, very funny.

 

And finally my real claim to fame, I beat a famous bike racer, when I was at the Isle of Man TT, in 1989. I cant remember his name, but he bought me a pint, having lost at pool.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. :D

 

Wild stab in the dark, Rutger Hauer from Blade Runner - stand to be corrected. :)

 

I've met Bill Pertwee on the set of Worzel Gummidge and had my picture take with him and a massive barn owl. I've also met the prime minister John Major at my previous job, not that that's really one to shout about :)

Dont ya mean the late Jon Pertwee?

 

I loved ole Wurzel n Aunt Sally he he, no-one else could of been Wurzel he he.

 

I met Major about 94 whilst working in News, oddly enough one of the nicest politicians i'd ever met, very 'English' in the old fashioned sence..have to say he was a real Gentleman, seemed way too polite in the flesh to be a blue!

 

Getting back on topic...and the Stig..Im given to understand that the reason the driver on Top Gear is called the Stig is because its not one person, its a ficticious charector (im sure this is common knowledge) Someone i know called Chris Window (whos 5ft fcuk all) a Chief Mechanic for Racing Green claims he 'has' been the Stig, he told me not to tell anyone:p

Actually mate, I fucked up too :D I thought you were correcting Jive about the John/Jon spelling - I failed to notice that Jive called him Bill Pertwee

 

:rlol:

 

No ya just making excuses to make me feel better:d

 

No seriously though i actually thought he was Jonathon (Jon) rather than John (jon).

 

Talking of Johns, I actually saw him once too, i was working in a temporary shop when i was 17 at Membury services they were refitting the actual shop so i was next to the entrance to the loo in a cabin, Jon Pertwee went passed me into the loo and didn't emerge for about an hour, maybe he had eaten something Alien !:rolleyes:
