What's yours?

Mine would be (not impressive sorry) knowing the daughter of children's author Dick-King Smith (wrote The Sheep Pig which later became Babe, as well as the Queen's Nose) and whilst my Mum was pregnant with me he guessed I would be a boy.

I've also met the STFC squad numerous times, been round the ground etc etc. Met actor Richard Briers in my village at the Donkey Derby (anyone else have them?) and that's about it. Hopefully someone here will have something slightly more impressive :D

Can't think of anything major :(

I have met most of the '91 Tottenham Squad, as I worked at White Hart Lane at the time. Also met Gazza and Paul Stewart in a local bar and bought em both a drink :)

OH and was also working the tunnel when Lazio came over for a freindly after the sale of Gazza, so I got to shake the hand of Dino Zoff.....The same hand that lifted the World Cup :D

Many years ago I treaded the boards at the local theater, The Sunderland Empire, I was only about 10 at the time but i had quite a large part and the show was on for a few weeks.

Also auditioned for Grange Hill just after the play finished but they gave the role to a bloody geordie :(

There was that time when I robbed Britney Spears of her virginity... other than that not much.... My mum used to sing/ play guitar in a folk band and performed in the same show as Billy Conelly a couple of times before he was famous....

I literally bumped into Edwina Currie at the House of Commons lobby once, I was queuing for the loo and she was obviously in hurry to get back to dear old John, for all her bravado shes a very short person.

Spent a train journey down to London with the Liverpool squad, they had just won the FA Cup and Shanks was there! (who the fuck is Shanks? ask the younger readers)

Met John Conti, his mum lived 5 doors away.

Freddie Garrity is my brothers God Father. (again those young 'uns have no clue what the fuck Yuck is on about)

Similar to above met Anita Harris.

Met one of the Brinks Mat baddies when I lived in Spain.

While in Spain lived in the house owned by the "Happy Hooker", Xaviera Hollander.

Seen myself on TV in Dixons shop window.

Played roulette with Brain Ferry.

Theres more but I'm bored now and can't be arsed. :)

Got some mates that act on Corrie. The girl that had an affair with Toyah's bloke and the son of the woman that works in the taxi office.

Also I'm mates, well was before he had to move to London, of someone who acts in The Bill. He was also 'Psycho' in 'There's only one Jimmy Grimble' and had a part in The Siege episode of Corrie when the supermarket got robbed. I think he stabbed or shot someone in that episode :D

They all used to be in my year at school and we were all in the same social circle. They're all rich now :(

Thought of some more for me

I know folk musician Martin Carthy (of Steeleye Span), as he visits once a year for the morris dancing in the village, and my parents are pretty friendly with him. I also went to his 60th Birthday gig at the Oxford Apollo as a VIP :>

I also met Matthew Kelly at a Pantomime once, I think it was Cinderella and he was Buttons. I got dragged on stage - can't think why - and met him. I wasn't sexually abused by him.

Ooh, and another. The house I live in was previously owned by jockey Richard Dunwoody. The garage is full of wiring and shit from where he used it as a sauna.

Mank, this village of yours, does a young virgin girl go missing once a year on the same day as there is a large bonfire over on yonder hill?

Used to quite enjoy his calming voice. That has to be early/mid seventies?

You'd be hard to pushed to find a virgin in this village, and not because I've shagged them all. My village has the highest girls to townie ratio of any village, ever.
