Ironic, but James Bonds 'Q' walked into the bexhill branch of a store I used to work for, complaining that his TV remote didnt work. When asked whether he had tried replacing the battories, he replied saying he didnt know they took battories...

I bought a house from 'Q's (Desmond Llewelyn's)neice. He used to visit quite often apparently.

[cannedheat]

I sat in a caravan with Des Lynam for about 1/2 an hour once,

Oh and I had Kevin Keegan give me some Opal Fruits but tell me off when I took two rather than one malteaser.

I had tea with central TV reporter John Caine just before he was arrested and convicted for putting his toilet part in young boys toilet parts and sent to the pokey.

Haha, no way, he taught us in Uni once a week, we had a massive party at his house near Telford and all got very drunk! In retrospect, now I know why!! Luckily, my anal integrity is still intact to this day!!

That wa his MO mate. Invite teenagers (usually offendeing/troubled types) ply them with drink and Roberts your Mothers Brother.

I recall he got about 2 years.

[Saddle bum]

I shot clays with Robert Plant.

He had a better gun than me.

[V6GTO]

I bumped into Elton John (literaly) outside Prada in Venice...

Martin.

[tribbles]

Mate of mine put up some pictures in Eric Clapton's mother's house.

[V6GTO]

And another one...I did some work at Ascot racecourse, and while there I farted on the Queen's seat

Martin.

[DocJock]

Bill McLaren gave me a sweet.

(He'd probably get arrested for that these days...)

[Alice Cupra]

A couple from me:

I was in the car going round Huddersfield ring road a few years back. Stopped at the traffic lights and jeremy clarkson was in the car next to me. It was the new (at the time) Jag XJ which they tested on the hills above Halifax.

Also, I interviewed the legendary Frank Sidebottom (without the head on!) for Hospital Radio many years ago.

Why would he do that if she had moved out, and how come you aren't sure if he visited your house? Were you out a lot?

I've kissed Joanna Lumley and she's kissed me

My Dad used to sell sheep to Herbert Lom.

Edited by drive2tractors on Saturday 15th September 13:14

I bought a rocking horse that she had autographed at a charity auction, winning bidder also got the chance to kiss and be kissed by the lovely JL. More like kissing one's grandma though, not the Purdey image I had in my head!

Herbert Lom (of Pink Panther Inspector Dreyfus fame) has a smallholding in Kent and bought some sheep in Ashford Market for it. Dad used to be an auctioneer there.

I've remembered some more

I've sat in the same dentists chair as Mick Jagger, Kate Moss and Barry Humphries

We were on the same plane as Michael Greco going to Tenerife, he kept looking round with his sunglasses on (twat)

I've also had an appointment with Steven Ladyman to discuss biofuels (he is actually a petrolhead whose struggling with his Labour beliefs)

Bumped into James May who was having a sneaky roll up outside the Sky News studio the other day.

Tommy Mooney (Watford, Wycombe Wanderers and more) once asked me for a cigarette in a nightclub.


Blaze Bayley (former lead singer of Iron Maiden) once came to our office because he wanted some ringtones composed for him. Yeah.
