What's you claim to fame?

I used to go drinking with Simon O'Brien off of Brooky when we lived in LA. And Damen Hurst ocasionally - I was at college with his best mate from school.

Tom Jones once bought me a pint.

I spoke to Rolf Harris on a Zebra crossing once 'Hello Mr Harris' I said, to which he replied 'How's it goin' mate?' Legend.

I've sold bicycles to Jimmy Somerville, one or more of the McCann acting dynasty.

And I was once confused on the phone for Mick Jagger by Carla Bruni his then squeeze.

I am the model on pages 63, 105, 107, 136 of Richards' Ultimate Bicycle book. I was slimmer then. And I 'built' the bike on page 158.

What did she have to say about him? I used to work with someone who worked with someone who flew with Badar in the war, he (Badar) was apparently a complete nuisance and right PITA according to that bloke.

Hmmm..:smile:
All my mum would ever say was that he was a gentleman, BUT was a tough character and often expressed himself with "rather colourful language"

Guess that confirms what you've been told!

I met Bill Gates when he presented me with a £10,000 cheque at Expo 98 in Lisbon

Ironically, although it was a Microsoft competition, the only Microsoft software used was the operating system.

Barnet,
My voice was heard over the train public address system on the BBC news for an article they were filming.
I have met and gave travel directions to Enoch Powell.
I have met and gave travel directions to Wilfred Bramble (steptoe). He wanted to get to the Tate Gallery.

I know this is a bit tenuous , but, Arsene Wenger jogs past my house in the evenings.

Both Rochdale Observer and Rochdale Online took photos of me in my blue tourmalet top waiting at the start of last years Over The Edge ride (Third Picture Here and Third Picture Here Too).


I also received a donation of clothes from Mark Lamarr when I worked at Arlington House, the huge hostel in Camden about 15 years ago. I also answered the phone to Ardal O'Hanlon when working there too.

I've cycled with Dayvo :biggrin:

I used to work in Fish (ex Marillion)'s dad's service station.

Fish first-footed our house in the mid-80s (the same time that I spent an evening chatting to a certain Kay Leigh, the subject of the song 'Kayleigh').

I shook hands with a former Bond girl (Fish's now ex-wife Tammi)

I stood next to Bernard "Gissajob" Hill at the Festival Fireworks, and next to Mel Smith in my local in Leith.

I got a smile and a nod from Billy Connolly as we both took a shortcut through a bus-shelter on North Bridge to escape the festival crowds.

I have a worldwide listenership!
