Did some work with Steve Jobs a couple times. Some ordinary folk would start crying / weeping when they met him, it was insane.

i did say most famous person, not long lists of every famous person...but hey ho....

mine would include, Charlie George, various County and England cricketers, (beefy botham in the bogs at the county ground in c'ford when he was commentating for sky was a particular highlight...as a young teen i could see where the beefy nickname came from ...), Craig Stadler, Ollie, Poults, Sir Nick, cant think of any others.


still no stalkers surreptitiously copping a feel have revealed themselves yet...

Shaking hands with a royal or politico is easy, it's their job.

Mine Emile Heskey.

Just one person? Jimi Hendrix.

[dibblecorse]

Nigel Benn the boxer probably the most well known of those I got to know.

Have spent a fair bit of time in the MotoGP & WSB paddocks so have met with and interacted with a large number from that circle ... one of my favorites was doing shots with John Hopkins (WSB rider at the time) at an end of season BSB bash ....

I fingered Anne Robinson for a bet.

Bear Grylls, got a photo with him last year. Bumped into Rob Brydon in Ancona airport a few years ago & met Bill Bailey after a gig.

Had the chance to meet Ant from SAS series but didn't go.

My lad got (accidentally) smacked in the face by the head of the navys wife, he has also met Bear & Ant as well as Prince Philip.

My OH has shaken hands with David Cameron, I didn't bother! She has also met the guys from Masterchef & Jimmy Carr after a gig.

How does that even happen?

Standing in a bar one night Anne arrives, nudge your mate, AR over by the bogs, mate say's if you can finger her, and get some photographic evidence the next rounds on me. So you do?

I think I'll call custard (if that's appropriate)
