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

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

PAul

i once told Ian Mcculloch that only he and his wife were on theguest list and his mates would have to pay.. my word, he's tall.

~Oops! Wrong topic ~

see my PM young man

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?

don't look at me for an answer Francis

BLAST! You know it doesn't count! Everyone in Glasgow (and environs) has met Billy Connolly! Or at least knows someone who has.

Baby baby baby baby!

Yes, I remember telling our record-selling friend I knew you liked the Chameleons. He said he knewyou liked them, especially because you know one of them.

Well, I really did

well, there was Fletcher as well...

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

Tim Witherspoon (ex heavyweight champion of the world)
Clinton Woods (current IBF light heavyweight champion of the world )
Barry McGuigan (ex midget champion of the world)

What kind of midget discipline was he champion in (midget golf, weightlifting for midgets, midget boxing, general greatest midget)?

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

I've had to give up trying to meet famous people. They all already know who I am

*Says n'more*

Alice Cooper in Los Angles airport. Nice man small though nearly missed him, needs his face ironing.

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!
