Page:
Yes I know the Blue Peter presenter Simon Thomas (he went to my mums wedding so I'd say pretty well)
And my Dad knows former Norwich manager Brian Hamilton who gave us free tickets when Norwich played Forest 2 seasons ago (I got to sit in the box 3 seats from Roy Evans and I also saw Delia Smith that day :D)
And not really famous saw Caroline from Big Brother 1 a while ago at a school history trip where she was sitting in a cafe having a drink...
And Eminem is my cousin (onllly joking with that one :D)

One of the groups I want to meet would be Pink Floyd...
...never having officially split... if they held another concert (0.5% chance) it would be the greatest ever!

monkey man is distantly related to Keith Chegwin. Beat that. Apparently, he's only related distantly through marriage, but I enjoy teasing him and saying that he's his Dad, then laughing and reminding him how much of a nob Keith Chegwin is.

His daughter is in my year at 6th Form. I don't know her, but my mate does, and I sat behind her dad at parents evening. Very rock n roll (!)

Have you seen up Sue Barker's skirt? Well have you? Let me tell you, after that the world will never be the same!
I looked up, and then said "hello, I'm your stalker". The night in the police cell brought me to my senses. I'll never forget it. Good days.

People I have met:
Bob Hoskins: He was playing at the Bristol Old Vic, and I met him outside as he was on his way to the back stage entrance. (He's very short, you know).
Simon Cadell: From Hi-De-Hi! and Blott on the Landscape. Met him in London when I was delivering some boxes in Shaftesbury Avenue. (He had a rather nice black BMW 3 series, mine was silver, we got chatting, you know how it is).
Lewis Collins: From 'The Professionals' and also from 'Confessions of a driving instructor', but we won't go into that... He was at Badminton horse trials back in 1981 (why? dunno) and we were discussing tack.
Lucinda Green: (Now Lucinda Prior-Palmer, the silly cow got married before I could ask her): Ex-world champion cross-country horse rider, met her at Badminton the same year as Lewis Collins.
Harvey Smith: (More show jumping connections here), met him whilst I was filming as an extra on the film 'International Velvet'. It was raining that day so there was no filming going on, but all the star riders put on a show for us anyway by having an on the spot showjumping competition.
et la piece de resistance:
Faustino Asprilla and Alan Shearer: Met them both in Newcastle when I was living up there about 4 years ago, they were on a night on the town and we were in the same nightclub. I bought them both orange juices and got 'Tino's autograph.

Ive met Cerys Matthews from Catatonia, me and my mates met her at TJs in Newport where she filmed the video for that song "Mulder and Scully".
It was quite funny actually because my mate Alan was trying to chat her up at the bar as hes a big fan. That however wasnt the funny part, what was funny was the fact that all of my other 3 mates and me got into the video...and we only came along because Alan asked..
Alan of course the real fan wasnt in the video at all. Anyone interested Im the guy in the grey and red Umbro top jumping up and down like a Prat! :-D
