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.

I see him quite a bit around too....assume he lives in Bromley / Beckenham area?!?

He lives in Elfsborg, he just told you that

I thought that was just part of his cloak of anonymity?!?

I once had a moment with Bonnie Langford on a platform at a London station, I think I recounted that hot encounter on another thread. I'll have a look for it in a bit....
And here it is, get your hankies ready lads and lasses ( not like THAT, Dave Mehmet) this is a real tear jerker...well it might give a moment of relief in these troubled times.

A few months back I met the Suicide Squad. Of them, Jai Courtney was loads of fun - "I keep making shitty fucking action movies!" And Will Smith was the most charming man alive. Jaded Leto was the opposite.

And what about the goddess that is Margot Robbie?

Met Douglas Bader in the sixties most of the younger lifers would not have heard of him, told me off for not playing rugby instead of football.

People should be shot for not knowing Douglas Bader!!

One of the best Second World War pilots (probably the most famous) we had for Britain, lost his legs in an flying accident (for being a show off) yet still managed to recover and got straight back in the plane!!

More infamous than famous but I exchange small talk with one of Britain's most prolific serial killers every day at work. Come to think of it I could reel off a list of names that you'd recognise but none that you'd want to meet.

Ian Brady?
Think the Yorkshire Ripper is in Berkshire.

Thought he'd be the Berkshire Ripper

People I have had in my pub, and gone to dinner with:

Garry Nelson
Paul Went
Richie Wilson

People I have had in my pub:

Steve Brown
Andy Jones
Colin Walsh
Graham Stuart
John Robinson
Joey Barton
Rob Green
Paul Stewart
Tommy Tynan
Paul Cullen (Widnes director of Rugby)
Derek Beaumont (Leigh Centurions owner)
Karl Howman

Actors who I met and shared a few beers with who were working with my late friend Alex Giannini:

Phaldut (Paul) Sharma
Liz McInnerny (Tim's sister)
Henry Goodman (he informed me that Nelson Mandela had died that evening)
Marc Warren (read through a play with him when he was at drama school with Alex)

I briefly met Chuck Berry and got his autograph in '79

I was front of house manager/driver at the London Rock n Roll show in '91. Drove Jimmy Jones to Wembley (lovely man), and then met and had a chat with Richard O'Brien (one of the most charming people I have ever met), also Graham Dene (very unassuming and modest - he had every right to play the "do you know who I am" card at the stage door, as he was working for Capital Gold at the time, and they were the main sponsors, but didn't do that at all). I also sat down and had a coffee with Alex Hughes (Judge Dread) who had basically pinched word for word my entire press release about the show for his column in (I think) The Kentish Messenger. He told me it was so good there was nothing he could add. I'm a sucker for flattery...

I met Robert Plant a couple of times at gigs - the first time he said "Oh - you're Perry!", as I was a friend of his daughter, been dining out on that one for years... Another decent bloke with a great knowledge of rockabilly and rock n roll.

Kevin Nolan introduced me to Bert Johnson outside Leicester's ground when we were playing them back in the nineties.

I once got a beer glass in the face when Steve Wright was doing his Radio 1 stage show bit, I was behind him, behind the decks and he ducked quicker than me.

Phil Daniels brought me a pint on my 21st - another top bloke.

Alvin Stardust was at my wedding.

I got pissed backstage at an Oasis gig and ended up chatting with Gem, Andy and Zac, and said hello to Liam, though I have almost no recollection of it (it was free booze all day).

I kind of know Mark Lamarr - if we bumped into each other, he'd know my name, put it that way. Likewise Jesse Birdsall and Gary Hailes (he's been round my house).

People I really know, as proper friends I see and communicate and sometimes go out with:

Ray Gelato (swing and jazz sax player and singer)
Claire Martin (Jazz singer and Radio 3 presenter)
Jacquie O'Sullivan (former member of Bananarama)
Boz Boorer (Morrissey's musical arranger, co-writer and guitarist)
Mark Savage (Gripper from "Grange Hill")

Plus loads of rock n roll and rockabilly artists that would only mean something to DA9 and me...


Edit: Oh I nearly forgot - Camilla Deakin, TV and film producer, she's just done "Ethel and Ernest" with Raymond Briggs.

Why have you all met so many famous people? Is it because most of you live and work in London?

No, Algarve is a high class escort

Definitely not Brady and Sutcliffe is further north at Frankland.

Do you work at Full Sutton or Wakefield?

Yes got it. It's Nilsen... god must be fascinating/frightening.

Full Sutton @McBobbin

Not as fascinating as you'd think @Curb_It. He's a full on narcissist who talks at you rather than with you. I personally think he has a soft spot for me as he seems to like chatting with me. He makes no excuses for what he did and fully accepts his guilt. It is kind of strange talking to him about every day things when you know what he did.
There was a time when his toilet was blocked and he said to the lads who came out to fix it 'I could have done with you twenty five years ago'. He is quite amusing at times.

I have been fortunate to meet a fair number of 'famous people' including the Duke of Kent, Sir John Major, Sir Elton John, Shane Warne, Sir Terry Wogan and Sir Vivian Richards. Many have lived up to their celebrity status, but a fair few were a disappointment. All those named above lived up to expectation, and surprisingly Shane Warne by far exceeded expectations.

Sir Shane Warne surely?
