Literally bumped into Marc Almond (Soft Cell vocals) in Leeds City Centre... and called him a bleeping bleep before looking up n noticing who it was!

Got left on top of a stack by Biff from Saxon at Queens Hall, Bradford after a gig...

Partied with James Whitham at a couple of his 'hanger parties'.. great bloke.

I was part of a guard of honour for the late Queen mother. Our local scout troop lined the path into the new community hall she was opening. I felt a bit nervous as a 11 year old. Nearly lost my woggle half an hour before the parade.

Also met the Duke of Edinburgh on a D of E award scheme. Aged 15.

Did some plumbing work for Ben Fogle. Put in a new double ended bath in his new matrimonial home, plus a load of other things he wanted changing. He asked us to get rid of the old bath, taps and shower screen, they were brand new and unused. They are now in my daughters house. She boasts that Ben Fogle's bum has been in her bath lol.

Oh yes, I was working at the Royalty theatre in London back in 1985, checking out the air con, or lack of. The theatre manager suggested the best time to check things properly was when the place was full of people. So we were invited to This is Your Life with Chas and Dave. We had to come smart casual to blend in a bit. We just check the equipment and took temperature around the theatre while the show was on. Then we were told we could go the the party afterwards. So we got to meet quite a few stars face to face over a pint or three. I can't remember all who were there, due to a little over intoxication , but it was a good night.

We still do plumbing work for Garry Stringer out of the Reef band. He is the most down to earth bloke you could wish to meet.

I met Micky Jones a few times. The Man Band did some smaller London gigs in the 80's. Sadly Micky is longer with us.

Loads when I was dispatching I delivered stuff to Sting, Kylie Minogue, Lynsey De Paul, David Frost to name a few.
Sat in a pub in the Kings Road in London having a beer and taking the micky out of Tony Adams & Steve Bould when they was Arsenal & England defenders.
But the best bit for me was when I was 10, was to have a kick about with Chelsea legends Peter Bonetti and Peter Osgood in the Kings Road again when they was opening up a new Esso petrol garage and after sneaking around the back of the armed guards I got to stroke the Tiger they had on a lead.

Me and a few mates appeared on a 1980 BBC2 program about the Sidmouth folk festival.

As the cameravan drove along the seafront, the narrator said

''Of course, not everyone is here for the music''

The camera panned over to a bunch of drunken bikers who had set alight to the seafront deckchairs and were partying bigstyle.

Happy days.

P.s. mi mates brother played football for Ipswich town and has several England caps

AND mi cousin's boy has just signed for Queen of the South.

Stu Francis lives across the road from my dad, he's a really nice chap. Met Dana once and she's lovely, also met Julian Clary and he's a miserable bastard so is Phil Cool. Ken Dodd is a legend and very nice. Blowers (cricket commentator) is an absolute gent. Did a show for Peter Kay (live at Bolton Albert Halls) what a c**t. Craig Charles is an OK dude, he was very nervous about doing a stand-up gig.
