No actress, but my uncle produced Poldark in the 1970s and then went on to be director of Pebble Mill, and my baby sisters job is to go around the country filming football matches. She also managed the behind-the-scenes setup for that Kenyan wildlife programme last year presented by Richard Hammond - 24 hour planet or something like that - does that count?
Cheers Wiz - tbh I can't remember much about it. My uncle then did loads for Blue Peter - all their wildlife stuff - before settling down and working for Pebble Mill. Never really took an interest - and now he's retired. The sis still works in TV though and when City are the main feature on the FLS she volunteers to do the filming. Me and my boy got a tour of the set before that Barnsley game where we clinched survival under Delboy - remember with the pitch invasion?
One of my best Thing is, Musicians have an interesting life but sacrifice for it The good things Meet famous people (and occasionally work with same) Gain immense satisfaction from their professional output Gain immense satisfaction from creative expression Get loved by a lot of strangers (!) Get to travel and meet many such strangers Visit many exotic places and impregnate a few foreign lovelies The not so good things Disorientated to f**k Forever on the edge of 'do I have it ?' No family No family life Often without meaningful love No ordinary life No community No security No peace of mind Hell, I just flashed my arse at the general public Waddya think ?
Joe Mercer when he was the boss at Villa Park. Kirk Douglas at O'Hare. Lev Yashin at Wembley 1966. Jaz Coleman - anyone know him, he was my neighbour for 4 months in the Canary Islands. Refereed many personalities in charity matches. Pamela Anderson.
Rickster = Being a bit of a music fan I'm very intrigued as to who you might have been if you were ever famous or semi famous ? Or would that be telling ?
Agree with the comment about Van Morrison, bumped into him at Gig in Newport and yes what a miserable t***. haven't met that many but I'm sure my Dad knew Lloyd George?? Oh and I shared a "trough/urinal" with Tony Christie in a Sheffield pub, but not really conducive to a long conversation!!
I lived in the same town as JK Rowling and we all hung out together. Can't remember her mind. I've drank with Rob Jones and Brynmor Williams both ex Wales and Lions players
