    Once got into a bit of a barney with Mr Motivator at crystal palace athletics stadium.
    Must be the stadium… Michael Johnson showed me his palm and shouted NO at me outside there when I spotted him waiting fir his car as we all left an athletic meet one night … i was only going to say hello, possibly. Knobhead. 

    I’ve mentioned this before on here.

    I met the king of the CL innuendo on Friday night.

    Mr @DaveMehmet esq and he lived up to his billing :)
    I meant to say hello to you, we have been in one anothers company a couple of times and I mean this with love and respect. You are a third of the man you were last time I saw you (wheatsheaf after tottenham away maybe 2011) good on you man. Anyway, didn't want to weird you out so went and had a cuddle with davemehmet instead and can confirm he was all man 
    Smudge didn't tell me until Monday that you was there, I would have come to find you if I'd have known.

    Cant believe that Charlton cup game waa 15 years ago now, Modric changed the game when he came on.  How things change!

    So what you are saying is our players couldn’t afford the prices actually in Ruxley (like most of us) 😉😆😄

    Actually, I just remembered that I also met Mark Kinsella after the play-off final at Wembley. He was even carrying the trophy, so probably should have remembered that one sooner!

    About 30 years ago I was working for a parcel delivery company and I worked the Peckham and Camberwell route, lucky me.
    One day I had a delivery to this big house in Camberwell for a Mr Terry Jones.
    Thought to myself, it can't be can it?
    Knocked on the door and it was opened by the man himself, the conversation then went something like as follows.
     "Mr Jones I have a delivery for you from George Lucas" 
    He held out his hand to receive it.
     "There's a £30 C.O.D. Charge to be paid before I can release it"
     "I'm not paying that" he said rather pompously.
     "Well you ain't getting it then are you" 
     "Do you take cheques?"
     "We do, thank you"
  • Friend of mine from work ended up exchanging some very-very mildly suggestive messages with Huw Edwards on Instagram a couple of Fridays ago. Having read the messages, I think he was just being friendly/older generation innocently not really getting social media... but it was funny.
    Doesn't he work for the BBC....just saying....
    Haha, I'm gonna say it definitely wasn't anything sinister - watching the message exchange live in the pub was an experience. Did not expect to have a lengthy debate about whether Huw Edwards was coming onto my mate or not, though. "Ooh he's typing!!" :open_mouth:
    Been rereading this thread as that's as exciting as my Saturday nights are these days.

    This aged well!

    Had a couple of famous people in my restaurant in the last 12 months:

    The Benns (Nigel and Conor) 
    Sir Ian McKellen
    David Moyes
    Bonnie Blue (seriously)
    Mark Bright
    Duncan from Blue
    Half the NBA board of commissioners

    Funnily enough the mattress actress was the nicest of the lot.

    Sir Ian is a grumpy old bastard, the Americans are too pushy, The Benns thought they were some kind of A Listers, Bright was too busy telling everyone who he was, Moyes was almost completely silent, and Duncan was fine but kicked up a fuss that his table wasn't in a "quiet area" at 7pm on a Friday when we're fully booked.

    That made me chuckle, very apt description.

    Whether it's genuine (hopefully not) or just a warped publicity stunt she's a twisted individual to even tout it. Wrong un.
