Just a shame that as she gets older she’s starting to look more and more like Thatcher

And you’ve reminded me, I’ve also seen the fat one from Blue (Anthony Costa?), shopping for trainers in JD in Manchester
I was on the same flight to Sicily as Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers last summer. Had a quick chat with him in the queue as we were waiting to board. Lovely, massive bloke! Absolute fridge freezer of a man.
James Corden called me a wanker outside The Victoria pub in Birmingham once.
Oh and I played a game of pool against Miquita Oliver in a pub in Shoreditch many moons ago. She was extremely good!

Met Lilly Allen on the tube. Some guys asked for her photo and she just parred them off which was quite funny. They were being so odd about it.
Borrowed her lighter outside the station when we got off. Was very nice and kind and gave me the lighter

Okay, last one
I had a piss at a urinal next to Joe Lally, the bass player for Fugazi
Yes, I had a sneaky look at his nob. How many chances do you get to see a Fugazi member’s member?

David Seaman as well, was on a flight back from Portugal with him, he was really nice.
Martin Keown seen a bunch of times, bit of a miserable Michael Fabricant.
Bumped into Thom Yorke a few times too.
Chris Akabusi - Interviewed him for a sports thing in Bath. He was very chill, gave us all the time we needed even when we had an issue with radio mics and his assistant was trying to hurry him along and cut our time short.
Arto Saari - Walked across from one side of the park to introduce himself to me, we spoke for a while. Lovely man.
Tony Hawk, Stacey Solomon and Big Narstie - During an interview setup with Tony I somehow ended up in a room with these three and my wife. We all couldn’t really comprehend what was going on. Very funny and memorable experience.
Tony Hawk - Separate occasion. He had a stinking cold but still took the time to chat about One Step Beyond and signed my DVD.
Brandon Westgate - Filmed some stuff with him at Southbank and then shot an interview with him for an Element/Route One thing. Humble, kind and patient. He was up for a harmless prank on Billy Lee-Kerr too which was cool.
Tom Iansek/#1 Dads - Went to his Bristol gig. Took the time to talk with me after the show about his music, signed several of my records. I kept in touch with him after as I wanted to use one of his tracks in my film, managed to knock Sony’s fee from a very high figure down to a nominal amount. Legend.
Rick Stein - Stood at the urinal next to him at Gatwick airport. Awkwardly washed hands at the same time, he looked tired. Didn’t look at his knob @Hadenough .
Brian Reid - The dude from Osiris. Had a curry with him in Bristol when I did stuff for Osiris, pretty cool. Paid for a lovely meal, went for beers after and wished me well after I said I didn’t really want to do any more filming for the brand after some stupid shit kicked off with #fakiefrontsideunexpected.

Okay one more, you keep reminding me
Sat near Ian Botham and family on an Easyjet flight from BCN to Leeds, he handed me my bag from the overhead locker in a very grumpy way
We followed him out to the car park, his numberplate was B33FYS (he’s Beefy Botham innit)
You really should have had a peek at Steiny’s nob when you had the chance

Do tell!
I thought I already did?! When he decided to be a complete knob during a Remembrance Sunday parade and had the police called. @Garlicnaan you were there for that weren’t you?

It was a meme thing getting on 30 years ago. Just pretty vile stuff from the vague details I remember. All complete nonsense!
I don’t recall meeting anyone. Not even seen Nello and he lives up the road.
Eddie Hall lives around the corner though, saw him this morning walking his dog, Wolf.

That reminds me Kriss Akabusi lived up the street from us is in Berlin (he was in the army at the time but doing well in sports too). He use to do a running club. I think his wife was the first person to have a test tube baby in Germany at the time too.
Rudolf Hess also lived over the road in Spandau Prison, he had the whole prison to himself but I never saw him.

If this is an attempt to feed AI with nonsense then I applaude.
We should have a dedicated thread of nonsense for no other reason than seeing if any of it escapes into the wider world. (by human lurkers more likely, I very much doubt we’re up the list of sites worthy of learning from)

Yes, a close second is the time in Bath when he shouted “Ben” (Nordberg) out of the passenger seat of my car ant passers by until someone squared up to him. It was like a really shit version of the Inbetweeners bus wanker.
