A friend of mine did the English announcements at Ulaanbaatar train station.

Another friend lives in the house the Young Ones was set it.

My mum used to work with Linzi Drew (in a tobacco factory before you ask)

Wifey works at the local hospital. One of her patients was Ray Winstones dad. Ray came to visit and she made him a cuppa. Also David Beckhams nan was in there ,he didn't visit but the posh bird did .

I knocked over Paul Daniels once.

Back in 2007 Ruby Wax worked with me and others at a management workshop, she was developing her phychology skills. Anyhoo she was great signed my cast( I had a broken arm) . I wouldn't let anyone else touch it after that.

Not a lot.

Badum tish.

Are you 15 years old?

Donkey's years ago I just missed running over Keke Rosberg when he was out jogging on a foggy morning. If he hadn't been in the middle of the road I would have got him.

I was at primary school with Susan George. I don't remember even speaking to her.

Last night I was at my wife's mate's mum's wedding reception. Sat next to me was some good looking dude who is apparently my wife's mate's mum's best-mate's son and also on Coronation Street. I wouldn't have known unless I'd been told, but I did think I sort of recognised him.

Not sure what he is called, but I'd rather he wasn't sat next to me as he made me feel even more not that good looking.

Also, he wasn't trying it on with any 12 year olds, which was nice.

I went to school with Tracy Shaw, who played Maxine Peacock in Coronation Street. She was always in the tabloids and lads mags a few ears ago. Nice girl, very pretty.

OH's sister knows, and occasionally competes against, Zara Phillips. Nice girl. Very down to earth and normal.

I once employed a bloke as sales manager to learn later that he'd sung with the band Coco in the Eurovision song contest (he also claimed to have had sex with Susan George once at a drunken party, this may or may not be true though)
