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
