Chris Rea's sister lives 200 yards from my mum and dads gaff, but she's not famous. Doh!

Although I met the chuckles brothers when I was very young at Scarborough. To me to you, but they're not famous at all :(

Seen Jack Osbourne and some minger from Eastenders when I was at nurburgring, they were filming that itv2 show adrenaline junkies.



So no, i've not really met anyone famous !

I was the lighting guy for my brother's band... at some point after our slot my brother was was talking to a tall guy whose band was after ours, Paul Young he said his name was. He went on to say that he was in the process of signing a deal with CBS... my brother and I looked at each other, rolled our eyes and said, "Really?" :rolleyes:


Sorry don't count :whis:

I think you'll find most famous people are arseholes, and frankly I have no wish to meet any.

Closest was when we were down Cornwall with Jo and the kids and she literally bumped into Will Young and started discussing sandwiches with him. Chicken and sweetcorn is his favourite she tells me.

I feel it's more worthwhile speaking to real heros. Been lucky enough to listen to a few WW2 pilots and aircrew.

Oh....and Pink waved to me when I last went to see her ;)
