I was once invited to Graham Greene's birthday party (my then GF's dad was a mate of his)... however, GG got ill and the party was cancelled...

True sory....guy I used to work with was in Manchester airport last year and saw his childhood hero, the one and only Pele. After getting the piccies, autograph, shaky hands and all that he phones the missus at home with much excitment.
"Sweat-heart, you'll never guess who I've just seen...etc. Only the Best football player that ever lived"

Missus says "Who.....George Best"
Er, he's been dead for a year!

Was funny when he told the story to me!!

When I was at Uni I got a job labouring for a local builder one summer. I ended up working on a refurbishment of a house in Pimlico that used to be owned by Ian Fleming. The phone number obviously ended in 007!

I had a poo on one of the Queen's loos. When I was sitting there I did wonder if this was the Queen's throne. It was very Victorian, lots of wood and almost a bench rather than a normal modern loo style.

I did wash my hands before shaking her hand later.

Filthy swine - I'll bet she would have preferred you pooing in it rather than on it. Hope she didn't blame poor old Phil....

Didn't know he had a cricket team.

Talking of which, I was taken to hospital by The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland - at the time... split my webbing playing cricket (yeh yeh 'out for a duck etc') Merlyn Rees.

Nice guy - except that he drove a mustard yellow Austin Maxi (a la mode at the time)

 

[Dayvo]

Exchanged knowing glances with Tony Robinson at Oslo airport last year (I didn't know he knew me! ).
Incidentally, he's someone I (and my mum) would like to punch.

My Grandmother had an affair with Lawrence of Arabia, they would ride naked through the night on his Brough Superior SS100.

Terry Wogan did a jobby in my toilet (he flushed, I didn't keep it in tupperware to sell on e-bay).

Norman Tebbit swung on a rope in my back garden (by hands, not neck)

And back to a Dad's Army theme - I once shared a glass of champagne with "you stupid boy" Pike's wife
