Perhaps this thread could be pepped up by forum members stating either: If they have had sex, homosex or gay hetero with any of the aforementioned or none aforementioned celebrities (i.e. celebs not mentioned yet) Or If they have met any dead celebrities (posthumously) and I suppose they could also mention if they have had sex, homosex or gay hetero with them too
I saw Tommy Boyd on the tube once. Clearly somewhat chemically assisted and giggling to himself in between alternately rolling his eyes and / or head. I would have said summat, but, you know, it was the tube so I just smiled to myself and carried on looking anywhere but at anyone else.
Vinny Jones at a pre-release screening of Lock Stock - was around the time he had an incident with a taxi door I think and his minders were all over the place. Was a nice bloke Kate Beckinsale - at another screening - very pretty.... Both Damon Alburn and Robert Carlyle at a screening of Face - had a drink with them in my bar afterwards. Robert was decent but Damon was quite up himself. Was in the middle of the Brit Pop era Also managed to get the autograph of Ellery Hanley on a packet of B&H when he was coming out of LA's one night.
Met him as I was walking out of the Tap & Spile on Spring Bank He was coming in and I held out my hand and said "Good evening Mr Gift!" He shook my hand - top bloke!
Eartha Kitt, at a Centre Hotel party after her Bailey's gig. (Very sexy woman, but great laugh) Clodagh Rodgers, same kind of do. (Nice enough, but verrry poor complexion) Boxed Rod Stewart's Roller in outside a deli; Alana sure could swear, Rod shrugged. Freddy Starr, in his garden supping vodka & orange; proper barmpot! Fred Dineage; don't ask me How! (A Mess do) Lawro; walking into Co Durham cricket - proper twat. Niall Quinn; great lock- in on the Guinness, singing rebel songs and Nat King Cole - by far the best football man, a real bloke. Cafe Society; he was leaving the room quietly, in a non-Gentile kind of way
Beat Carmine there Charles. We Charles' always do. Clyde Best Called me a ****ing racist bastard. It was a misunderstanding honestly.
I've said this before but spending 3 hours drinking, swimming and chatting to Lisa and Faye from Steps in 2001 in Muscat was great.
I followed David Beckham across the road in Alderley Edge once, he turned & laughed at my offensive comments to the drivers who made it difficult for us to cross the road. He like me was off to the Cheese Wedge butty shop, he collected his butties but didn't pay, said the Mrs was next door (hairdressers. beauty shop). As soon as the door shut behind him a young lad waiting quietly for his butty spoke "Red Scum" Everything then returned to normal.
Ok mine aren't as high-profile, BUT... I bumped into Darmesh Seth in the toilets at Belfast City Airport. No idea what he was doing there, but was heading back to the Sky Sports studios. He's actually a really nice bloke! Unlike that Karmeh Solakol prick. Secondly - and more "bumping into" like, Joe Dudgeon nearly bay parked his Porsche 4x4 straight into the back of my Fiat Panda just outside M&S in Anlaby. Luckily he saw the stickers in the back of my car and I got a hand shake and an apology hot chocolate from Costa! Also was sat next to Abdoulaye Faye before a train trip to Leeds just after we'd beaten them at Bellend Road. Never seen a man smile so much! Finally, John Prescott pushed in front of me in the queue at WH Smith's inside the train station, and proceeded to snort at me when I said "Excuse me, I was being served" as he had a "very important trip." Prick.
My daughters were impressed when we stopped at some obscure service station near Bury where we met Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville waiting for the team coach to pick them up for their game in Newcastle. The traffic was grid locked so chatted quite a while although Scholes never offered his Haribo around. Had a night drinking with Tommy Cooper at Baileys when he appeared there. Sat on Roland Gifts jacket in that hairdressers that used to be in Paragon station and met him again at the Bat Out Of Hull CD launch at Sids. Bumped into Stephen Fry the other week in Soho on our way to see Les Mis. Had dinner with Joe Elliott when they were just starting out with a DJ friend of mine from Radio Hallam. Which reminds me.... to get to the studios you had to go down a long white walled corridor. All the guests visiting used to sign and doodle on it.....Bowie, Bolan, Elton, Rod...they were all there. One day they got a new night cleaner. she proudly told them in the morning that she had cleared one wall of graffiti and would do the other that night.....
The woman I work with almost ran over David Attenborough and apparently he was wearing a safari suit.
What else would he be wearing Craig!! I'm always worried about Bernie Clifton getting knocked over, that Ostrich that carries him about all the time must be knocking on a bit now, no road sense either............
