    One of mine is that I used to deliver Chris Chilton's Sunday papers when he lived off North Road and he always gave me a tip, money that is.

    One of mine would be that I beat Adrian Moorehouse (Olympic Swimmer) when I swam for Hull and he swan for Leeds

    I beat Nick Thompson at table football and he nearly flipped the thing over in a rage.

    My three greatest moments of this variety are all train related and will take some beating.

    Spoke to Simon Weston on a train, great bloke.

    Saw Pauline Collins at Doncaster Station, she looked sad.

    Saw Nanette Newman at Kings Cross, she looked snooty.

    The end.

    I also met Ricky Gervais in Bloomingdales in NYC at Christmas but he doesn't make my top 3.

    For obvious reasons.

    I also met Paul Ritter from Friday night dinner in France last week but I doubt anyone has ever heard of him.

    I'm not doing football related ones because I know loads and loads and some are even internationals and I' d be here all week and everyone would think I'm showing off when I'm not.

    My mate in the Army was cousins with one of EMF.

    I met him once, he was ugly one that looked like the Plug from TBSK.

    Did you go via Doncaster?

    Was Pauline still there, looking sad?

    I hope she wasn't, it would upset me if she was.

    Malandra Burrows at a nightclub in Scarborough. The bouncers had to pull her off me the dirty cow. I think it was that way round.

    Regarding a different type of Coke

    I wrote to Pepsi suggesting they produce pepsi cola with a hint of lemon. They wrote back saying that they
    didn't think there was a market for it but thanked me anyhow.
    Five years later they launch pepsi twist world wide. Unfortunately I didn't keep the letter. If I had I might have been
    able to get some royalties out of them.

    I've donated 250 pints of Plasma which earned me an audience with the Lord Mayor.

    I;ve seen "Def Leppard" at Withernsea Pavillion (late 70's when they had just formed)

    Oliver Reed threatened to kick my head in.

    I was chatting up his bird.



    Mind, he was ignoring her.

    And she was more my age than his.
