    Have bumped into Russell Brand a couple of times in the cafe in the village and in Henley. He's exactly the sort of twat you'd imagine him to be.
    Never meet your heroes :)
  • The late Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh - on the same day, together (genuinely) 

    Better than that though - Bernard Bresslaw - lovely bloke

    But if you do, can you punch them hard in the face?

  • Football: Alan Curbishley, Stuart Peare, Paolo, Jon Arne Riise, Jon Obi Mikel, Szsechny... all were nice enough, apart from Curbs who was obviously a complete legend. 

    Jonny Depp - served him at Selfridges, nice and polite TBF to him. As was Noel Gallagher. Only dick I ever served when I worked up there (10 years ago) was Bradley Wiggins. Met Jack Whitehall and Jimmy Carr, both neither high up my list for favourite comedians but were really nice actually.

    Honestly the best experience with famous people though was Danny Dyer - going into the Euros final last year and he spoke with me and my mates for a good 10 minutes about the game etc, shook all of our hands and was just absolutely sound baring in mind he was with his family and we were all absolutely trolleyed!

    Madeline Bell was the cabaret on the cruise boat we were on. It was in a small dinner club on Britannia (I think), with only a few hundred paying a supplement. She told stories about her career with Blue Mink and life in the sixties and seventies, working with people like Bowie and Elton, excellent value and she could still sing even though she was in her mid-seventies.
    I believe the boat dropped her off in Majorca where she said she now lived (luckily it was going there anyway!).

    I think the next shows turn was Martine McCutcheon, we didn't pay the premium to go to that one.

    Not forgetting her cracking vocals on Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod, and You Can’t Always Get What You Want by the Stones.

    Madeline Bell fid a concert last year at the Cadagon Hall. She was magnificent and she introduced the whole Blue Mink band. Roger Cook did a medley of the songs he wrote. I was lucky to be invited to the after show party held in a hotel in Euston. And met P P Arnold. I had a great laugh with Sinnita’s mum.  A fantastic evening. 
  • The First Cut is the Deepest! excellent song.

    so its true about you and Lassie then!
    She was not as good a girl as everybody thought !
  • Linda McCartney, back in 79, I was an apprentice electrician, she wanders into her (farmhouse) kitchen, makes us a cup of tea, has a chat, wanders off.  I wasn't even aware we were working at their gaff. She was down to earth, no airs and graces. 

    Paul McCartney was often to be found, at the local Jempsons shop, asking people whether they wanted his autograph.

    To be fair its a testament to how soft this country has become that this doesn't happen to Russell Brand quite often 🤣

    They hid that well, good job the dogs had long hair
  • I worked as a delivery boy for a central London wine merchant back in about 1970. Used to deliver to the Apple (not that one) HQ in Savile Row where I said hello to Ringo Starr, and he used to have a legendary New Years Eve party at his eff off mansion on The Bishop’s Avenue Hampstead where we supplied all the drinks, and he said hello to me there recognising me as the Savile Row delivery boy.
    He stared hard at the Led Zeppelin badges I used to wear.
    My impression was that he was a nice bloke.
  • Encountered Ricky Gervais on Marlow High Street last September. One of my friends was doing puppy fostering for Guide Dogs and 'Mrs Gervais' came over to make a fuss of the dog. She beckoned Ricky over, they were both extremely friendly and chatty.

    Indeed, at that time it was the only one. 
  • I've met:

    Sean Lock - scared him shitless in a boozer in Chelsea as i had him pinned to the wall talking bollocks whilst quite drunk
    Kevin Rowlands - Annoyed him drunk at a Boys Own do. he looked quite wary of me.
    Tom Baker - told me to fuck off in Soho
    Alan Mcgee - Thanked him for Noel and Liam
    Terry Hall - met him on a train to Manchester  - he was off to see Utd - it was just before the Specials reformed gigs and he let me sit with him and chew the fat for 10 minutes. Amazing chap he really was
    Jerry Dammers - met him a the reissued Dance Craze film at the IMAX BFI a year or so ago - he approached me believe or not and said "i know you off the telly" - :) i reckon he thought i was Bill Bailey (its been mentioned)
    All of The Inbetweeners lads - of which Joe Thomas was my favourite - James Buckley came across as a bit of a tit - he was probably having a bad day.
    Greg Davies - only said hello as we were "on set" at the time
    Jarvis Cocker - we annoyed him and my mate tried to nick his glasses at a Massive Attack gig years ago
    Sean Pertwee - we shared a few minutes in the smoking bit outside a Specials gig in Brixton - i managed to say to him "Don't mack me off like a two bob" - which actually made him laugh.
    One of my heroes that most of you wont know - NIK TURNER from Hawkwind - met him and his family in Goa and Rajastan in India in about 93 - spent days with him before i told him i knew who he was  - absolute gent and his girls were cuties
    Spider from Coronation Street - we got him mangled on Mud at a Faith/Boys Own do  - poor fella had no idea what was going on.

    Indeed, at Peasmarsh.

    I also remember a young Stella McCartney, knocking around in Rye. I once sat opposite her in, I think it was called the Strand Quay cafe, she had a party trick of buying a cup of coffee and hideously curdling it. Just one of those odd facts I've always retained.   
  • Lennox Lewis - Bromley Glades with his family. 
    Aaron Fotheringham - known as Wheelz from Nitro Circus - bumped into him in Las Vegas at a Supercross race.
    Dara Ó Briain - Said hi to him at Dublin Airport.
    Eddie Irvine - At Goodwood.
    Ross Kemp - Bumped into him in Westminster, nice guy.
    Warwick Davis - Another one bumped into in Westminster.
    Cheryl Baker - Served her when I was in my teens working in Waitrose.
