Sat on the next table to Patsy Palmer (Bianca) and her family in an Indian Resturant on the MIle End Road a while back. |

Oh - and Russell Grant waved to me in the car park of the Pont Abraham service station LOL AND I did arts and crafts as a 'mummy helper' with Faye Tozer from Steps when she was at the same lower school as my children. Gosh - I'm impressed with myself LOL |

Was on the Time Team in 1998 and got chatted up by Tony Robinson. Lovely man. Was in the van that rescued Showaddywaddy from the M1 in 1972 when their van broke down. Was at university with Phil May (Llanelli and Wales) Other than that - nothing cos I never recognise anyone! Was talking to a dog in the pub a few months ago (as you do). Noce dog - never noticed his 'Mum' was Pauline Black from Selector. |

I worked with the lady that had the dubious honour of ejecting Vinnie Jones from the youth club! LOL Chatted to Long John Baldry in the days when they could watch from the sidelines when the supporting acts were on without getting accosted. I too have grabbed Scott Walker! I think he set himself up for it myself. He must have done if both me and Gwynne did it LOL He had hairy legs and didn't polish his shoes but he had the loveliest mouth! Spoken to Geoff Capes at an athletic meet. My daughter was running, his daughter was putting the shot. Not very friendly at all. Stood there all 'look at me' but if you acknowleged him he got grumpy! Met Paddy Hopkirk many many moons ago when I was secretary of a motoring club (I can't drive! lol) and he came to a do. Lovely man. In the same vein, I have counted Prince Michael of Kent out from a checkpoint for a timed stage of a rally and bashed 5-4-3-2-1 on the top of the Army Team Mini he was in - and stepped back very quick! Spoke to Phil from Time Team when they were in York. We were waiting to cross the road and he was hanging out of the window of his van. I didn't really expect more than a nod when I said that they had had good weather for the dig but he chatted ages! Ooohhh quite a few! My life's not been as boring as I thought it had LOL Mags xxx |

Haven't got any really. Still remember walking past an actor from Brookside when I was about 6 (that Louis Emmerick) and later at about 15 he asked us where the queue started for Monsters Inc. Wonder if he recognised me :-) |

Sat in a bar with Robbie Williams close by in 2001 and he smiled at me on way out!! Same year different bar.... Vinnie Jones was 2 tables away! And 3 years previous was clubbing with him in Watford, as he was an after dinner speaker at a football presentation I went to!! Chelsea FC used to drink in the same members bar as me!! Strange how all bar related!! :O) |
