I once sang happy birthday to Simon-le-bon from Dura Duran and gave him a birthday cake on breakfast TV.

I also once cooked a jacket potato for Mark E Smith.

What are your claims to fame?

    If you said Gamesmaster you would've won this! Did you go to school in New Cross? A mate was in Bradley Wright-Phillip's class, they used to all go to after school plays because they thought his dad would turn up, he never did...

  • Just thought of another couple:

    - used to live next door to Brian Moore (the Rugby one) and, at the same time, 2 doors away from Jeremy Paxman's brother.
    - have worked with (at separate times) Gareth Southgate's dad, Johnny Rotten's cousin and Eddie Hemmings' son (very handy for departmental cricket matches!)

    One of the residents at the home I manage is a gentleman called Sandie Anderson (nice man). He played for Southend in the fifties and to this day still holds the record for most league appearances at the club.
