Dunno if this is gunna make me sound like a seriously sad prat but.......
Today whilst driving back from 'down sarf', I pulled into a motorway service station, bought myself a coffee and found myself quite literally face to face with a rock god. after taking a few seconds to decide wether it was actually him or not, I then tried to say something like " hiya , pleased to meet you, how are you" or something like that, what I actually managed to say was " is it really you".
I mean of all the stupid questions I could ask........
has anyone else managed to make a prat of themselves infront of their idols ?
Edit, perhaps should say that after that initial bout of stupidity my tongue did become quiet lucid again, and I managed to chat to him for about 10 mins or so and he was a genuinely nice bloke
Slash, and yes it was him lol
he was travelling to cardiff where he is playing tomorrow in the royal variety performance thingy bob..... so if there are any others out there who are interested he will be on tv.. sometime.. think its usual shown live isn't it ?
I once met Mick Jones from The Clash in a supermarket in Notting Hill.
I started the conversation saying that I'd been to see the Clash a few times in Italy. He was really chuffed. Nice bloke.

OK - Call me dim.........
Who is Slash?
Reminds me of a time years ago when I was in a nightclub with a few friends. We had just seen Hot Gossip perform and they were having a drink. I was dared to go up to one of them and ask for a dance.
30 feet away I strutted over full of confidence
20 feet away I saw their stockings
19 feet away I tripped
10 feet away I slowed
5 feet away I started to blush
I just stood in front of this young lady, mouth agape, completely dumbstruck.
Very fortunately this girl, seeing my mates jeering from 30 feet away, looked up to me, smiled and asked if I would like a dance.
Ahhh the memories.
Such a shame that the song was not 10cc I’m Not In Love, but was in fact “The Hippy Hippy Shakeâ€
Yes, it is. And Sting is really named after a bee.
I was on a bus with Geoff Capes once, an open top bus it was.
I once got tongue tied with Buster Blood vesel from bad manners and yes he has a HUGE tongue
