I don't charge, so more just a slut.
Dai Davies judged a disco competition at my secondary school when I was about 12. I was one of the first kids eliminated from the contest. I was informed of this by Dai Davies tapping me on the head. Other than destroying my hopes of becoming a professional dancer he seemed nice enough.
Got Janice Long’s autograph at a radio 1 roadshow in the early 80s.
Had a piss next to Jimmy Carl Black at a club in Chester.
Met Rhod Gilbert at a show.
Exchanged a glance with that Greg bloke off masterchef in M+S in bluewater
Similar exchange of glance with a Richard Bacon at WH Smith’s in Charing Cross.
What a world we live in eh?
I met John Virgo (snooker commentator and ex professional player) at a charity match between himself and Jimmy White in the 90s. Did one of his trick shots too that he was famous for back then.
was he nice? He seems like he probably would be, unless he's one of those where it's all a mask.
I thought of another! I was walking drunkenly through Leeds city centre with some colleagues many years ago, when television's Louis Theroux drove past in a Range Rover. OR, someone who looked a lot like him. One of our number said, "look, it's Louis Theroux!" and pointed, and in response he gave us the finger. So either he is not nice, or his lookalike is sick of being mistaken for him and is not nice. Inconclusive.
Yes, he was great. Spent quite a bit of time chatting with the crowd, inviting various people (including a lot of kids) to come and do trick shots etc. Very pleasant chap indeed!
Can confirm - the gf has met him a few times through work - she occasionally has to book someone to give a motivational speech to apprentices. Snooker players tend to be a better option than footballers (because there's always someone there who supports the rival team).
Louis Theroux - a friend bumped into him in LA, and apparently he was exactly as you might imagine if you weren't Milko.
Stephen K Amos last week. Amiable, courteous and professional, did a good job of seeming interested in my gaff (which is small - 150 seater), made references in his set to our history *and* name-checked a birthday punter. Ploughed through all of Ilkley Brewery's five bottled beers with genuine & informed pleasure.
I think Stuart Maconie walked past me in Darlo, last year, looking uncomfortable in a suit.
I have a major girl crush on P J Harvey
