I just saw a famous person

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

That could certainly have interesting connotations if you ever turn your hand to the whole groupie thing :innocent:

I met Robert Plant once.

At the Fairport Convetion festival at Cropredy, near Banbury, Has anyone been there?


Leningrad Cowboys played the same year, what an amazing weekened! Must have been around 1990-91-92-?
An old fasioned festival, you could walk "in" backwards and nobody knew.

Too much FET and a healthy dose of POT and AMYL made me say "Alright Bob how's it going?"

Cant remember his response - drugs are fukcing useless :lol:

My Latin teacher used to live over the road from Pete Best. Does that count?

And William Golding once lived in my home town.

And the Royal Family used to buy Pelham's Puppets which were made there.

And on my first driving lesson I burst my Mum's car tyre on the dis-used airfiled they filmed a Doctor Who episode on.

And my mate sold hot dogs at Earls Court while Pink Floyd played the Wall.

And my mate pointed Eldritch out to me in the Faversham.

Am I trying too hard?
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

saw ian brown last night, was coming out of the wine merchants with a fine shiraz or two and he'd parked his 4x4 on double yellow lines and was walking up to the indian takeaway across the road.

it's surreal, isn't it, when you see someone famous out of context. i had to wait until he came out with the standard white plastic bags to be sure i hadn't imagined it
then he takes your hand in some strange californian handshake and breaks the bone

On a completely different note, are you male or female, or should I have figured that out by now?

Here's a list of "celebs" I've sort of met:

A pissed George Best getting on a train at Reading.
A wrecked Richard Harris (r.i.p.) in a pub in London.
Tommy Vance (r.i.p.) at an Alice In Chains gig
Michael Parkinson
Terry Wogan
Rolf Harris. The latter 3 used to drink in the pub where I worked.
Peter Steele (Type O Negative) - the most miserable tosser I've ever met in my life.
and I was sat opposite the bass player from Iron Maiden on a flight to Copenhagen once!
