LOL at Arron Bird, funny as ****

I met Kevin Keegan years and years ago.

The week after Hearsay became famous, I was in a hotel where three of them along with a few mates were staying. Got a really nice smile from Suzanne, when I walked to the bar (a sort of hello!!), I'm sure after she looked at my crotch. Couple of mins later, I went for a **** and my flys were undone with my pants on display. W**ker

Couple of hours later, after they had been on the p**s in Liverpool, I was getting something from my car, and they were walking past bollocked. The bloke singer said to one of his mates, how lush my car was. Should have offered to show him some sideways action It was next to rollers and 8 series beemers in the car park

Next day, I got in the lift and diss'ed the dark haired girl with my laptop case and suit carrier, LOL. Next night I got the management to chuck all the press out, cause they were getting on my ****. Suzanne said thankyou after

Went to Mick Jaggers house to fix his cable TV.

Spoke to Jenson Button at the Italian Grand Prix, only briefly.

Met the Chairman of the board of Telewest and Flextech, amongst other companies, when his cable TV was faulty a while back. His direct neighbours are Sting and Annie Lenox. Nice house, wine cellar was bigger than my house. Managed to fix it, thank ****.

Cheers Phill C

Edited cause the swear filter is bollock!!

OK, not rally/scooby-related at all, but WTF!

1) I was on Blue Peter from Carnaby Street with Val Singleton (who?) in one of those cringingly embarassing 'vox pops from the street' items.

2)I was on Songs of Praise from Glastonbury! Luckily it was long before Thora Hird!

Ok, ok, it was a long time ago and I was very young and didn't know any better. The therapy's working - honest

Cheers,
Steve

I think the overalls had been cleaned - they didn't smeel too bad

I was also on national news pulling a pint - In my student days I worked in a pub in a mining town in Notts, and they filmed the miners celebrating when a court decided closing the pit was unlawful.

Bloody reporter gave me 20 quid then shouted "next 20 quids worth of beer's on me" and left me to cope with the deluge!

Here goes...

1. I'm a direct descendant of the Black Prince.

2. My Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Entwistle, was a flower seller at Victoria station. She was the inspiration for George Bernard Shaw's Eliza Dolittle in Pygmalion, which was made into the film My Fair Lady (starring Audrey Hepburn as Liza). My Great Grandmother did go on to have her own flower shop, in fact several of them. My Grandmother Ivy, ran the last of these shops on the Askew Road in Hammersmith.

I've met most of the Crystal Place and Wimbledon football squads from when my sister used to work there. Also met a lot of the old Wolves football squad, from when a ex used to work there. Also met some of the Bath Rugby player through another ex.

A mate has the best one thought, he was in the States and had to run through Chicago airport to make a connecting flight back to the UK. He go to the desk and was knackered and blagged his way into First Class (I don't know how but he did). He then found his seat and found out he was sitting next to Henry Winkler (The Fonz)

Disco - I wouldn't be bragging about that.

Used to drink with Liam Neeson before he left Ballymena.
Stayed with Billy Connelly when he lived with Finbar Furey for a week.
Got hit by Cris de Burgh's golfball - He gave me free concert tickets as an apology - never figured out which was worse.
Beat Darren Clarke at golf, playing of the same handicap (OK I was 14 and he was 11)
Knocked out ex World Champion Dave 'Boy' McAuley at the local boxing club, and he was older than me (but 2 stone lighter and a foot shorter - don't ya just love amateur boxing)

My cousin is Julian Bailey who raced for Tyrell and Lotus in F1. Boring git he is too.

I was on Top Gear a few years ago when I was one of the winners of their 'Be a Presenter' competition. Was shown spinning the wheels of my TVR S3 and grinning a lot.

Was on Panorama last year in some dull show about endowments and was shown looking round a flat. My girlfriend and I were interviewed and they only showed her comments, completely editing me out. How my friends howled.....

Frank Williams (F1 team owner)
A Valet plane follows his personal jet around to clean it every time he lands !!!
