Now that's a story I'd like to hear!
Actually if theres one person who could shed some angled light on that strange visit it would probably be you Colin.... ... It was just after the revolution and the guests at our table alone could have been responsible for it all. ...a CIA man supposedly, although hes laughed that off, but he did speak English and translated much of the banter for me.... sharper and smarter than any man I've met, I decided....so maybe he was I thought, certainly not out of place on our table, the hero of the revolution, tough guys, archbishop, and all.
i've slept with chris moyles.
Getting drunk and falling into a temporary closet at parties doesn't count.
A few years ago during Cowes week we got a call at work to say that one of the yachts had damaged it's boom and it was being brought in for repair. I ended up working all night on the repair because the yacht was racing the next day. A fast boat ride across the solent early the next morning saw me fitting the repaired boom back onto it's mast. Just as I was finishing the owner of the yacht turned up to thank me. He then asked me if I'd like to guest on the boat for the days racing. At the end of a fantastic day out on the water he again thanked me for my hard work and pressed a bundle of notes into my hand saying "have a drink on me".
The bundle of notes....£1000
The owner....King Juan Carlos of Spain
Below me by one place, cos my kings richer.
JB's used to be great, the old shed over by the Big and Tall store was a hell hole in the summer. I have seen so many good bands there.
My only claim to fame is meeting the Modfather Paul Weller on Saturday Starship when i was a kid, i asked why he split up from The Jam, good musical upbringing see
... did he glare! nice story, thats a good one. ...5-6 th place ,around that point I reckon, Ive stopped working it out proper.
I had a cuddle from a VERY drunk Gail Porter on Thursday, she also jabbed at my head and said that i was catching her up!! lol.. What a Gall..
Hehe, she is lovely, good score mate. I got a slow kiss from a very straight Kelly brooks at a bike show. ... which was quite a surprise and out of the blue, all because I was awe struck and said I really wanna kiss you Kelly.
She is much more beautiful close up, eyes of a goddess. ...bit like Gail.
Thats pretty cool Adam
I once ( several years ago) took my trousers off in front of Hank Marvin
OK Ok I was in a dive shop trying out a new wet suit and he wandered in
( no changing rooms just an upstairs bit)
Spoke to Duke D'Mond ( barron knights) a few times when CB was all the rage and highly illegle in late 70's early 80's
Met Sterlling Moss a few times when competing in car trials mid 80's
He used to tow his trials car with a DB5 ( I think certainly an early Aston)
I wondered where you where going with that opening sentence ...
Sterliing Moss, thats a nice one, he'll always been a hero of mine, even more so Know I know he tows his cars with a Aston ....
Me stupid, whats CB? ...Ive heard of most drugs its not one of those...
Not sure where you scored mate, I've lost touch with that list. ...I think your fighting for sixth place.
great thread Sorry mostly all rugby stories from me....
And one or two photography ones no doubt.
My other half has a pretty serious back condition.
A few years ago, they tried to rectify it by sending to intensive physio for quite some time.
She got on very well with the head physiotherapist at QA hospital in Portsmouth.
One night, we and two friends went out to Port Solent for an evening, and bumped into the physio lady and her husband.
We hadn't met him before, so physio lady introduced us to him-and likewise us to him, etc......
I had no idea who he was, not being even slightly interested in football.
Bloody nice guy, we had a good chat with them, got on very well and after a short time went back to find our friends.
Now my mate being a big footy fan call me a nasty word beginning with B, and when I asked what was wrong, he said, don't you know who that was?
Which obviously I didn't!!
Only bloody Mark Chamberlain!!!!
Naturally I exclaimed, er, who's he?!
He explained, oh only one the best fooball players there's been.
He had to explain who he played for etc.....
Good story. ... I'd have been like that too, who! someone famous, oh I see, just a footballer then.
Reminds me of visiting a girl friend in the royal free hospital, suddenly the elderly woman behind us , shouts accross ..."young man young man, do you know who I am, I'm Ian dury's mother" ... hehe, funning thing was I responded with ".. are you really wow!"
I used to earn a living as a Saddam Hussein lookalike, I don't do it any more though, too much hanging around involved
Bit of a pain in the neck that job I bet. boom boom.
I used to work for South West Trains at Guildford station.
One day, I was talking to a passenger about something, and from behind, a female voice asked me the next train to London.
I hate being interrupted, so I ignored her, carried dealing with my customer.
She asked again, I ignored again.
And again, only this time, I lost my patience, and as I turned around, I said, loudly, LOOK AT THE BLOODY SCREEN!!!!!
To Anthea Turner
Thats a winner ...in a different category. ..great story ta.
They're all really cool.
I met Catherine Tate and Russell T Davies and got blown a kiss by Camille Coduri outside the Royal Albert Hall a couple of weeks ago
Its not a high score, but thanks for taking part
.... Catherine Tate is so all woman isn't she.
Some very close friends of my family, is none other than Jack Froggatt.
Son of Jack Froggatt, who was an excellent Portsmouth player back in the 'old days'!!
What did he play?

And for me that wins hands down, Adam.
Im not even going to ask what you were doing in her bedroom!
Thanks Glo
