Mike Oldfield was my neighbor, My mate lent him his piano. I used to hear this weird music coming from the house, I thought "that wont sell"





I eat to survive
I drink to forget
I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)

A certain Durham cricketer is a distant cousin. Sadly, it's not a skill that seems to have made it to my dad's side of the family...

A few years ago, I stopped as I was on my way home from work, to let a lady put her young children in the back of her car. As she turned around, I got a polite wave from a certain Mrs. Beckham. Could've ended a little differently if it had been the previous day though - I'd have been driving a little quicker.

Oh, and Geraldine McQueen regularly walks past my house (out of drag). He lives just up the street from me.

Do they count?

Francis.

drunk in a pub one night we egged on one Tom Shanklin (Wales Centre) to perform some break dancing moves for us. Much to our surprise he quickly jumped on the floor and started busting out drunk moves right infront of us.

this went on for around 40 mins

We ended up competing to see who could spin him around the quickest

would i get in trouble if i posted the photos

Been on a channel 4 programme about people splitting up, not t me splitting up but a mate. They filmed in my house and you see the back of my head and my then 1 year old son peer round my sholder at the camera while i'm teaching my mate to design websites.

Been on the news...just! Me and the Mrs were at a world record attempt where a bloke was jumping a jag over a load of cars and we were in shot on the footage...just!!

Met Jonny Johnson, the famous WW2 fighter pilot at Biggin Hill Airshow. I had just bought his book and met him in a tent where someone had done a painting (Phillip West) of jonny shooting down a german plane, which i have a print of in my office. Jonny signed the print and my book.

Met Depeche mode! Big moment that was!! And met Gary Numan twice....Very big moment for me that was plus i got to sit in his Harvard at Biggin Hill Airshow.

Heres the proof:

Harvard Numan
Harvard Numan

Harvard Numan 2
Harvard Numan 2

Our car was in 'Practical Classics' last month (December). No write up, the photo was used in the Q&A section.

I went to the same school as Sarah Waters

She wrote the books that Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet were based on.

Also I have played with or against a lot of international rugby players.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

My mum knows Jeremy Bullock (Film Summer Holiday and Bobba Fett in Star wars)
I've met Keith Barron, Mick Robertson (magpie), Sarah Cracknell (St ettienne), Prunnella Gee, Peter Purvis, Nurse Gladis Emmanuel from open all hours/eastenders, Michael Gambon (welded up his antique guns), Shane whatisname (boys own), James Hunt, Nelson Piquet (senior), Derek Bell, Martin Bell (BTCC), Debbie Flint (shopping channel, was lead singer in our band), the bloke who played "Arfur" in on the buses, raced against David Coulthard and Tim Harvey in an indoor charity kart endurance race.
Quite a few more but can't remember them all, but by some of these you can tell I am not young!
