In 2000, myself and my best mate, got beaten over a 189km route by some French guy called Laurent Jalabert.

Having said that, it was a Sportive in Picardy, and Monsieur Jalabert did "win" with a time some hour and a half quicker than us.

As a teenager I played the snare drum in a Boys Brigade marching band. A marching band was needed to lead a protest march in a BBC2 comedy called His Lordship Entertains and they used our band for it. It starred Ronnie Barker, Josephine Tewson, Moira Foot and a very young David Jason, who played a gardener named Dithers. We got to visit the studios at Shepherds Bush to view the finished article along with a studio audience. I think I was about 16.

In the 90's, my partner & I were filmed for the Peter Gabriel song ' Blood of Eden' at Realworld studio in Box, but it got canned & he ended up doing the video differently. Still got some cash for it though.
Once got drunk with the actress Claudia Christian from the SF show Babylon 5
In the early 80's, I knew the actor, the late Richard Franklin aka Mike Yates from Dr Who. Long story short, he did a play celebrating his village's 500th anniversary (Middleham in N Yorkshire). It was staged in a hall and we got front row seats. Did a double take at the guy who came in late and sat next to me...Leon Brittan, Home Secretary at the time.
