I once walked past Charlie Dimmock in a motorway sevices restaurant. And, a month ago, at the Goodwood Revival, I bumped in to (well, when I say bumped in to I actually mean met. Well, when I say met, I actually mean saw) one of the girls from Hollyoaks, Nicole I think. She was trying out a massage chair in one of the trade stands.
On my right hand I was born with five fingers so with a thumb that’s six digits.(sadly the extra finger was removed as a baby, wish they had kept it, weird)
As a kid got to meet my then hero James Hunt and got to sit in his Championship winning F1 car. I’ve also held aloft the European cup and the FA cup.
I’ve eaten a pork pie in a synagogue (well how was I to know).
Been in the crowd at Tiswas (never got selected to go in the cage)
I don’t own a pair of jeans.
I’ve been cautioned for Jaywalking (seems they don’t have much crime in America).
I’ve helped deliverer a baby.
Stuart Pearce owes his career to me? (he got lost on the way to one of his first game for Forest I showed him the way, don’t think Mr Clough would have liked him turning up late. May never have played again?)
I was at a football match sitting in the row behind Nigel Kennedy (the violinist ) and his girlfriend of the time Brix E Smith ( ex- wife of Fall singer Mark E Smith and also of the indie group the Adult Net)
At half time, all the fans were going up to Nigel to get their photos taken with him. Thinking he is a tosser, but being a fan of The Fall, I plonked myself in between the two of them, put my arm around Brix and said I wanted my photo taken with her. (she is a very attractive blonde lady). I then turned to Nigel Kennedy and said "Shift up a bit mate, you're in the way".
He took it very well
During the same match I was also very near to George Graham and Jasper Carrott

Just sitting in a bar in Amsterdam having a quiet drink when John Motson and Mick McCarthy walk in. ( It was During Euro 2000 in Holland).
Got into a conversation with Motty and when it was his round, Mick offered to buy me a drink which I graciously accepted

Met the legend Rolf Harris and he drew a Rolfarooo on the letter I was sending to my mate.
I like Marmite.
I would love to live in the Peruvian rainforest and live off the land with just my guitar and puppy for company. 1, 2, 3, aawwwwwwww!
