You lot can decide which is the bestI've been a film extra in a number of films including V for Vendetta where I was one of the V's. Also was in Children of men. I'm the last soilder in the entire film. Clip was used at the Oscars.I led the London half marathon a few years ago. It was only for about 20 seconds after first 400 metres. I kept up with all the club runners for about 7 miles and then struggled badly the rest of the way.I played beach cricket against the Barbados school champions. My side comprised a bunch of tourists (some of whom were American and had never played the game) as well as West Indies international Pedro Collins and Sir Garfield Sobers. Unfortunately we lost as the Barbados lot kept hitting the ball into the sea. Sobers only fielded but it was still a great experience . It was filmed for TV but don't know if it was ever shown in this country.Fatboy slim once mistook me for Robbie Williams.I once recieved an award where the guest speaker was Prince Philip. I met Johny Ball at the same event. I forgot to mention to him about his son in laws mistake.The lady who did the voice of George from rainbow came to my wedding.By the way River Don it is a funny old world I have met both Sylvester McCoy and Sir Ian McKellen but seperately. McCoy was doing some miners benefit thing during miners strike. The pub in Stainforth he was in has since been knocked down. He told me he was going to be Dr Who but that I had to keep it to myself. Sir Ian McKellen sat and had a drink with myself and a fellow rovers fan in the Coal Hole on the strand. Never met Ian Brown so you have one on my there.
I met Carling!
Quote from: Dutch Uncle on April 18, 2013, 02:31:20 pmI was cramming for Finals at Uni in 1972 - amid all those the electricity strikes. 9pm one evening the lights went out and I decided to hit the bar. I ended up hitting something else in the pitch black at the bottom of the staircase - an octogenarian man to be precise. It was JRR Tolkien and I spent the next three hours walking around the college gardens with him. Lovely fella and saw him several times after that - and he signed my copy of LOTR.Are you sure you that wasn't a dream Dutch, maybe just a case of Tolkien in your sleep?

It's been a roller coaster...You snogged Belinda Carlisle??? What? Wi tongues and all ' biz? Was it in her early solo days when she was airbrushed smooth and cleavage? Or in the Go-go days when she looked like a better looking version of the lass out of Hayzee Fantayzee? Or more recently when she started to look like a crocodile who had run out of Oil of Ulay?
Ian Brown shops in my local Sainsburys.

It is a film that will endure.Ian Brown isn't the only musician I have met, I used to play five a side in West London, one night the game on the next door pitch included Ant and Dec and Robbie Williams. I got changed in the same changing rooms as that lot, not much to boast about but I suspect many ladies would have loved that opportunity.
