said, “That’s Robbie Paul”, I could only say, “Is it, who’s he?”
My dad once met Stubby Kaye, the guy who famously sang Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat in Guys And Dolls.

Dad was taking part in an old time music hall show his social club were doing for charity - at the Theatre Royal in Stratford it may have been. Stubby Kaye was appearing in a show at the same venue at the time and their paths crossed backstage. He was a really nice guy, according to dad, and took a great deal of interest in their amateur production.

Met this chap recently in Ayr - Happy to chat away.
Got in to an argument with the DJ Grooverider outside of a night club a number of years ago, no idea what the argument was about.
Had my picture taken with David Beckham at RAF Brize norton, when he was flying out to see the troops in Afghanistan, nice chap.
Bumped in to Jimmy Nesbit in a shop in Barbados.
When I was an LAC at RAF Lyneham, I drove Princess Anne's Range Rover for her. We weren't allowed to change the drivers seat from how she has it. Luckily it wasn't a long drive.

I once saw Alan Pardew talking on the phone whilst driving.
Jim Carrey once tweeted me. As did Sue Perkins.
I once had to find a microphone for the band Slaves when they were supporting a band in a pub I worked in. Spoke to them at a few gigs over the years but they’re a bit s
t now. Always really nice though.
Once saw Louis Walsh. Someone with a small child on their shoulders shouted ‘Oi, Louis, what were you doing in my son’s bedroom last night?’.
My girlfriend’s, nan’s neighbours are Gary Barlow’s grandparents or auntie and uncle. Can’t remember which.
My mam has had a pint with the bloke who played Darth Vader (in the suit, not the voice).
Nick Cave flagged me off once, pretty sure anyway.
Ooh, just remembered this one. I once saw Al Murray at the cafe in the Baltic in Newcastle. I had a pastrami bagel, not sure what he had. Gallery was crap.
Not surprised you couldn’t remember what he had to eat when you couldn’t even remember the Baltic is in Gateshead.Jim Carrey once tweeted me. As did Sue Perkins.

Saw Frank Lampard at Bosporus Kebab in South Kensington some years back. It was a match day and he was on the bench. He seemed a bit moody when my friend said hello
Man's got impeccable taste in 'bab shops
Saw Frank and his missus on the beach in Dubai early in the year , she had wrapped a towel round her waist , the dragon commented about her probably being up the duff but trying to hide it .Man's got impeccable taste in 'bab shops
She gave birth the other day iirc , about the only the wife has been right with anything.
Excellent!!!My wife’s maternal grandmother was a cousin of both Max Bygraves, and Sandra Rivett, Lady Lucan’s nanny, allegedly murdered by Lord Lucan.
Bygraves and Rivett weren’t related, one was related to the grandmother paternally, the other maternally.
I blanked, (refused him), Bruce Forsyth at The Dorchester when I drove a Black Cab, I was choosy, bite me.

Natasha McElhone of Ronin fame at Cafe Nero in Chiswick High Road. She turned and bumped into me and I spilled my coffee. In the version of events I have edited in my mind over the 10 years since it happened, I think we had a "moment" and will each forever wonder what would have happened if we had stopped and had a chat. I could tell she was into me..
