My brother in law's niece is the receptionist in Doc Martin and was in a sky broadband ad with Bruce Willis. Nice girl, met her a couple of times.

Eddie Jordan used to make me coffee.
Back in 1978 Eddie raced in F3 and had a small unit at Silverstone where he and his mechanic Dave Benbow used to work on the car, I had my car in the next unit and if we were working late at night Eddie would pop round and invite us in for coffee.

I hope this is equally tenuous - my mate whom I used to work with, started up a private hire thing using a Chrysler Voyager with blacked-out windows, after we both got made redundant when our firm closed down. He started off getting work as a sub for a private hire firm, but quite a few of his clients now have his mobile phone number and book him direct.

We still keep in touch, and the people he often drives are amazing!

Quite a few big-name footballers, and strangely enough a lot of musicians. People like Keith Flint are regulars, as is Damon Albarn.

One of the biggest is Mick Jagger, and Mick seemed to like him because after a while, he took my friend's mobile number, and now calls him direct. As do some of the other Stones, and Jerry Hall.

Occasionally, he might drop Sir Mick off somewhere and Mick asks him to basically wait outside for the 3 or 4 hours he's in a restaurant of meeting. And London being London, my mate sometimes gets moved on from double yellows by wardens or Police. If he does, he has to text Mick to tell him where he now is.

He gleefully showed me his mobile phone recently and the name 'Mick Jagger' in it, with Mick's mobile number.

Awesome yeah?

Yeah, definitely. In fact I reckon you'll be invited to be his best man at his wedding

The "manager" bloke is from Newmarket. He was also on an advert for a TV station "Up your Viva!"
He was extremely up-himself considering now hell be even worse!

What? This demands clarification more than any post in this thread.

OK then, I'll stand the Operation Yewtree chaps down.

I overtook Paul Daniels & his mrs on the A39 near Bude a few years back. He was in an old Rolls with MAG 1C number plate.

I was once cut up by Bruce Forsyth in his yellow Rolls Royce on the A30 in Sunningdale.

i have a new tenuous link,

i pissed off Mark Ruffalo *hulk smash* on twitter by disagreeing about climate change being a solely man-made phenomenon
