I've worked for quite a few celebs over the years, but Lewis Gilbert was my favourite - I didn't know who he was, but knew he was a director so I asked if he had done anything I might know '3 James Bond films, Alfie, Sink the Bismarck and Reach for the Sky'. I apologised for being such a cretin. Most of the others were fairly disappointing sadly, one England player and one TV comedienne in particular...

Reach for the sky, what a film!

Two weeks ago I shared an economy class class flight from Miami to Heathrow with ex F1 driver Mika Salo. I wouldn't even have noticed him had it not been for his tidy looking girlfriend.

My Monica Geller moment at a function years ago:

He took it calmly.

If it makes you feel any better I was nodding and laughing along with you a few a minutes readying this whilst wondering what spunk on a dress had to do with anything.

Took me a while...

I once delivered a Pizza to someone with the surname Connery. Jokingly I asked if she was any relation. Apparently he was her cousin.
