Notches on the bedpost, Shag?

I've met David Walliams and Robert Plant. Well, when I say 'met', I really meant I've just walked past them at different times in Camden.

Back in 2000 I was on a stag do in Amsterdam and a bunch of us were staying in a cheap hotel in Warmoestraat, on the edge of the Red Light District. I was just sitting in the sun, perched on a window sill, enjoying a bit of the local fare and doing a bit of people watching when I just felt this prescense approaching. Through hazy eyes I tried to comprehend who I was seeing, the charisma oozing into the air. It was Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, looking exactly how you think he would, tight jeans and a couple of scarves. Every inch the rock icon. Barely three meters away from me. I thought briefly of approaching him to offer my respect but the huge Goliath of a bodyguard, who looked like he could kill a bear with his bare hands made me lose my arse and I just sat and grinned.

Just had Barry Hearn in my cab. Lovely bloke. Told me how he almost sold the Os to Roland but then Charlton became available at more or less the same cost

Close shave for the Os that, they probably would’ve ended up in the National League

Pretty sure this is a joke by Hearn

Now there is "met" and "Met!"
We all know about @Curb_It and Bill Clinton and that is up there. I've "met" loads of famous people with met being seeing them in a restaurant or on a train, at a concert, theatre (in the audience) etc etc.
I have had a few far more up close and personals with the likes of Roger Daltrey, Stephen Fry and Richard Curtis and also have chatted to many of the most significant Test cricketers from 1970-1990. However tonight, by chance I met and had a good 30 min chat with the wonderful John LLoyd CBE. For anyone of my age (mid 50's) this man has and remains a most fantastic influence on comedy of my era. A more modest, unassuming and pleasant man you could not wish to meet and the stories he told me tonight were simply hilarious. I was not at an official event, just happened to be in the same pub in St James' as he was tonight.

I remember him reaching the finals of the Australian Open c1978. Did you ask after Chris Evert?

I didn't want to bring that up as it was the last time it was played before Christmas and very few of the top 20 players used to turn up for it.

Had Kevin Bridges in the cab yesterday. A bit hungover after going for beers after filming the Jonathan Ross show

What state was Kevin in?

When I was younger, My dad used to be invited to the corporate things by customers for Charlton games and I was allowed to go!

Quite literally bumped in George Best who was so pissed he could hardly stand so I had to hold him up for a photo!

Best thing from these days was meeting the almighty Clive Mendonca...after his play off heroics I was absolutely star struck!

Interviewed Bros a few weeks back. It was a lot of fun. They insisted on recording a message for my sister, then spent a few minutes effectively writing a script for it! A really funny, sweet pair of lads.

I guess he fell off the wagon??

Looking out photos for the "me at 20" thread, I came across this.

Me and the delectable Miss Fiona Bruce, circa 2003/4.
