    Boz lives in West Hampstead, and occasionally Taipas...

    Does Boz still have a Record shop in Camden.
    Yes - The Vinyl Boutique.
  • Less famous people I have met? Brian Murphy of George and Mildred fame lives around the corner from me, I pass his house every day.

    I was in the fish n chip shop a while ago and his nasally voice was still the same as in the 70's.

    How many beers did you get out of him?
    He bought my fish and chips.....

    Met Donald Trump back in 2011, while I was working at the National Achievers Congress in Melbourne.
    Starstruck as I was, I didn't know what to say, when he at one stage stood close to me (but I felt that I had to ask him something at this once in a lifetime moment), so I dumbly asked which NFL team he supported...
    His answer: 'All of them' (laughing)
  • It should have been Ricky Otto at Bury, but he turned up in the boozer bald and white!

    @jdmotion "which do you prefer, 451 or 4231?

    @Saddamhussain "I think 442 when defending but one which moves to a diamond midfield when in possession but you need to have the players who can play short passes. If you like I'll get the National Guard to show you how it works in a practice game".

  • Well, I'm sitting next to someone famous right now on an Emirates flight from Manila to Dubai. She's obviously famous as the crew are swooning over her. She also looks, shall we say, rather special. I just have no idea who she is.

    She's delicately eating her mango cheesecake right now. I'll take a snap when she goes to the loo which she will surely need after all the champagne she has guzzled.
  • I nearly ran over Kelly Holmes, which could have stopped her winning a gold. She suddenly came out of an alley and ran straight in front of me.
