Served the England Football squad in the early 1980's because everyone else was too afraid of them, they were good fun but cheeky blighters. John Alderman Elkie Brooks Freddie Starr Shaw Taylor Paul McCartneys band from the late 1980's Norman Wisdom Cheryl Baker Thora Hurd Aka Bilk Howard Jones Roger deCoursey and Nookie Bear Princess Anne Prince Phillip and probably more that I can't think of at the moment. But then again they are just the same as you and me just more people know their faces

Met and drank with Oliver Reed for ages on two successive days (in Guernsey). I didn't recognise him the first day 'til he'd gone. Second day I said, well why should I know you... I would have recognised your leading ladies... The man who told me it was Ollie was a Mr Bloch (Bloch & Qualye, B&Q !)

There's a footballer that has a flat near me. I forgot his name though lol He went out with Kate from Big Brother, and she came to the flat too. I didn't say he lives there, cos I don't know that he does. Just that he owns it. Does that count? lol
