Behold. The evidence post-facto of the crime. I, the one on the floor with the chrome trousers,white socks and black shoes, and the assaulter, the imperious wretch in the littel lord fauntleroy get up.

I'm not surprised you got pushed over, going out dressed in your normal clothes when time travelling to the 1840s, I'm surprised he didn't shoot you with his flintlock pistol

As a child I was pushed over by Lord Freddie Windsor at a wedding.

I have a photo of it at home, will scan it and post.

Not being a particular royalist, I just googled Lord Freddie to see who he was, and it turns out he's married to Big Suze...lucky ! Wasn't expecting that.

I was born on exactly the same day as Hulk "Hollywood" Hogan the wrestler....

I shared a lift once with "Reg Holdsworth" from Corrie...

Sat right next to Led Zeppelin's John Bonham in a Kidderminster pub in 1978...

I used to live in Southport and was a regular customer at Mama Mia's Italian. Lovely food and staff. Let down a bit on occasion when some Scots peasant used to come in with some chavs and ALWAYS take his shoes off and eat barefoot. Apparently he used to be a Livepool footballer called Dogleash. No sense of bloody decorum. He used to have another Scots mate sometimes. He's a tall bloke, used to play with Dogleash (!) then went on to talk about men running round after a leather ball and falling over a lot for Sky.

Chrome? Is that posh for grey or were they part of a particularly flashy suit of armour?

Had dinner next to a Gerard Butler on Sunday night.
Didn't have a clue who he was even after we were introduced.
Had to Google his name
Really lovely bloke.

He said hello to my daughter who was two at the time in Heathrow and told me she was very sweet. Does that make us friends swerni?

My Dad used to own a limo company and did jobs for quite a few celebrities...

As a result of my Dad's aforementioned business, he is very close friends with Simon Cowell's driver, who gets to take home the Rolls at night! :P

I was in "Fudge Kitchen" in Windsor this afternoon, attracted by the 'free samples'. The fudge was expensive, but very nice, and as we were buying some, Frazer Hines walked in to sample some fudge. Later in the afternoon, we settled into our seats to watch him on stage in the Agatha Christie play "And Then There Were None" at the Theatre Royal.

How tenuous is that? - "I bought expensive confectionery with *Jamie McCrimmon/Joe Sugden"

I found out on Tuesday, during a conversation about the TV Show, that a girl at work's boyfriend, has a cousin, whose husband's sister is that Tanya bird off Real Housewives of Cheshire

I know he is punching massively above his weight.
