I had the chance to meet Paul Weller but turned it down in case he turned out to be a c***. I know others that have met him and said he's pretty down to earth but I didn't want to risk it.

Not a hero but I met Neil Warnock. I had always thought he was a bit of a w***er but he turned out to be quite nice. Disappointing really.

I did meet the Palace team at the old Mitcham training ground. All of them signed autographs for me and seemed happy to chat to us even though we just walked in.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I have never really understood the desire to meet celebrities. They are just people like anyone else, and if you don't know them personally then what do you have to say?
It's different if you meet them through your work or they are friends of friends but otherwise, one finds themselves blurting out the first stupid thing that comes into your head.

Not cool.

Mr Stallone. I loved you in Rhinestone.

not exactly meeting him but on 2 separate occasions I was stood next to Lemmy at the bar.
Once in dingwalls (bad brains gig) and another time in the wardour st Marquee club(iron Maiden)
both times he was just shouting ''nurse! Nurse!''
trying to get bar staffs attention.
also fairly trollied.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

You can always talk about their sphere of interest.

A couple of years ago I went to a cricket charity lunch and was fortunate enough to sit next to Marcus Trescothick. Oddly enough we chatted about cricket

Incidentally he was a regular guy with no airs and graces

Na. They probably get that stuff all the time.
I'd rather talk about me.

Becky in Heels . . .

Now, that conjures up one hell of a picture

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
