The groovy Perry Farrell in Manc city centre hours after a gig in the early 90s. Charming bloke

- I agree he's groovy - but charming? Please tell me that he was - I love Janes Addiction but always thought Perry Farrell was a bit of a pri....prima donna

Jude Law. Short arse.

An ex of mine *spit* processed Paul McCartney's pension when he was doing work experience at the Abbey National. Does that count?
He said it was A LOT OF MONEY...

And the girl who sat next to me in English class in 4th year was Richard Branson's god-daughter, or something. Tried to make friends with her, haha!

Oh, and Gorgeous George Galloway showed my class round the Houses of Parliament when I was 13. What an arse.

Got to stand at the dispatch (despatch?) box, and go blah blah blah, though!

Actually, now I think about it the school I went to (*ahem*) had an awful lot of fairly well-known folks associated with it. Nearly got run over by Lubo Morav... whatever his name is I'm not even going to try and spell it... one time. Celtic player. Weegies will know.

Remembered another one. Went for sushi for my 20th birthday, got sat next to Fernando Ricksen. Oh and I saw Chick Young in the Peking Inn when I was about 14. When I saw the former, I hummed the appropriate Abba tune enough for him to shoot me an evil look. When I saw the latter, I did "the laugh".

Bet he never gets that!

I reckon it's a case of mistaken identity. Not so much prima donna, more totally, always out of his skull (I daren't think what on). Bit like the arrogant b@stard / shy bloke scenario.

But yep, the good news is he was as sweet as pie. Nattered for ages, signed the large bootleg poster (RDLH cover - which my ex still hoards ), and was generally fine and groovy, considering we'd spotted him and shouted after him at about 4AM on a damp Mancunian morning. Or was that the ex?

My BF is doing some I.T work for Jools Hollands wife at the moment. They live in a mock up of the village from "The Prisoner" near Greenwich / Blackheath.

Lubo! Lubo!

Thank you Si! That's the chap.

Excellent - my faith in my fellow man (well, some of them) is duly restored.

(Sorry about your poster though )

My mother danced with Frank Zappa here in Stockholm 30-35 years ago

Makes her cool in my eyes

S'not bad!
My mother sold a pair of boots to Janet Street-Porter. Said she was annoying
She also had a run-in with Midge Ure at some point in 1985 and made him hold me (aged about 6 months) for a picture I asked her why she did this and she just said "I thought he was the pope"

You and Pope's. What's the deal?

I don't live in a famous place. I did have the privilige of ignoring Princess Anne once, when I was about twelve. That's about it.

Someone's gotta keep 'em off the moon...

fuckin' 'ell! How could I forget...

...my mum got asked out by the drummer from the Kinks! She wasn't a "rock chick" or owt like that - just right (wrong?) place at the right (wrong?) time.

She said no.



You could've been me dad!

I much prefer the Doktor, though...

What's with the apostrophe, man?

NOT GENITIVE CASE!

Shame on you!!!!

*shaking head in disgust*

Nice parental date-choosing, Boudicca..

And if we're allowed to pursue that route, my mum used to go out (about 30 or so years ago)with Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate.

Now, who can beat that?

Is your mother called Emma by any chance?

Last night hanging off a lamppost in Merchant City, he was very drunk as he'd been celebrating our win over Aberdeen!

Nah, her name's Sharon.

If Emma was written about her, you think I'd like the Sisters' version of it. You'd also think I'd like the original.

I'd always have much rather heard a Sisters cover of "You Sexy Thing"!

Think on it, people...
