JustGav Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 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...

Max Headroom Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I once met David Bowie in the 1970's down the Kings Road in London. He told me to get out the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyknox Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Why you young whippersnapper Yes, if it's any consolation, those that know me all say I act like an old man. Sort of a 26 year old Victor Meldrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I've met Bob Holness of Blockbuster Fame, Michael Barrymore (very breifly, just said Hi to him and got a hello back) and Dave Benson-Phillips (of childrens TV Fame) I suppose you should be grateful Barrymore didn't invite you to one of his pool parties.

Chris Wilson Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Jo my girlfriend told me that she (with some help from her dad) invented this road sign for a school competiton 26 years ago. How true that is I don't know I believe anything though A warning sign is just the sort of thing a woman would invent, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !
