I, the one on the floor with the chrome trousers,

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

They were a fetching shinny grey polyester number. Was just trying to ofset the piss taking of my clobber but getting in first

I worked with someone who was the best mate of Harry Styles' step dad.

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?

SHUT-UP BUTTWAD!!



Waits to see who gets the reference

My cousin plays for Portsmouth FC

One of my cousins is Mark Walsh, the darts player.

George Ezra used to serve me pints in my local. One day I was in the pub with my dad and George was sitting at the bar, I sat next to him and joked "shouldn't you be at college?" I didn't realise he'd just been signed that week

Met (and was invited to his house) Jack Cohen, founder of Tesco. Lovely man and no airs and graces. Played golf with Woosnam (and won!) and plenty of other top pros in the day before money made it impossible, and as regards motor sport well Stirling drove my car at Goodwood, as did Tony Dron, and of course met so many of the stars now dead. Just a couple of golfing photos from my many attached. Ah, memories!

A few years ago, there was a programme on the BBC called "Girl Cops" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007cg3r) where they followed female Police officers around with cameras. I never watched it.

Well I've just found out my next door neighbour (a female Police officer) was in it. I feel a bit awkward around her now that I've found out she's a celebrity.

is she the one originally from St Helens? cos my Mrs knows her if it is

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.

I was in a hotel in Dubai a few years ago when walking back to my room on me tod , I literally bumped into his father.

We both made way for each other , nodded and said good morning then went on our way.

I mentioned to the dragon when I went back to the beach that I'd nearly bumped into someone famous but I was buggered if I could name him .

He had a beard and his tie had a massive knot tied.

It was weeks later he was in a magazine when I pointed him out to the wife .

Funnily enough he was on his own , I always thought he'd have a flunky or two with him.


So I nearly bumped into the father of an young royal who pushed a future member of PH over at a wedding , I think that makes me the winner of this thread.

Do you recall why he wanted you to fall over?

Can't remember. Suspect he was probably jealous of my trousers. Think we were ask playing in the garden and he was the biggest and was probably being a bully.

The parents were there too but were ignoring the little st. Guess it was probably the nanny's job.

Ive been in Elle Mcpherson's bedroom with her niece........


I worked there repairing some lights whilst she was house sitting, All above board i might add.

Photos of Elle around the house were amazing.

No, Oldham.

My son thinks she's ace because she bought him a Nerf gun for Christmas. Bet none of you tenuously linked to famous people got a Christmas present off them
