No offence, but 90% of the people on this Board probably don't know either of them!

Rory McGrath :)
Lenny Henry used to live in my village!
This was when i was about 10 though, so dont ever remember seeing him!
I met Udo Dirkschneider in Munich during summer 1998 and had a beer with him. Cool guy.
(I dunno if Accept or U.D.O ever were "da sheeeet" in UK during the '70s/'80s , but over here in Finland everybody that ever listened to Hard Rock / Metal, considers Udo a living legend)

Met Alex hurricane Higgins at the urinal in the castle hotel Blackpool and Ray Reardon was there too... Played a frame of snooker against Bill Weuirbinik (spelt wrong i am sure!) RIP, lost but i was 11 so i had a good excuse!!! i am not a snooker groupie by the way :)
Stood behind Andi Peters in a queue at Drayton Manor Park!
Met Little and Large in Blackpool too. and met a few Hip Hop artists over the years!
Just had a restaurant open opposite my office, an average meal is about £400 a head to give you some idea of the clientelle, earlier tonight there was a Cherry red American classic convertable, an American low rider pimp mobile complete with bouncing hydraulics, a new Rolls Royce Phantom and a Yellow Lamborghini Murcielago (reg Y1) all parked outside.
All sorts of people have been spotted there by the peeps at work, didn't see anyone famous tonight although I'm thinking of renting out office space to all the photographers that are constantly hanging around.

Worked on a Saturday morning kids show with Gail Porter (yum), on said show met two of my heros; Stan 'the man' Lee (creator of Spidey, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four and many others..... as if you didn't know :rolleyes: :p ) and Patrick 'The Sky at Night' Moore (was going to ask him if he'd seen gaseous eruptions from Uranus.... but I didn't think it would go down too well :D)
Other cool folk include:
Audley Harrison (he's fookin' big!)
Holly Valance (schwiiiing!)
Kylie Minogue (from a distance tho' as she was "too busy" to give an interview)
Terry Gilliam (pished as ever)
Marina Sirtis (counselor Deanna Troi from Star Trek)
The Spice Girls.... right at the start of their career (Gerry was fat and Posh was mingin').... thought to myself, 'they won't last more than a couple of records :rolleyes:.
Hundreds of other B-list celeb's and shite boy bands..... I had Westlife within my grasp..... I could have silenced them for good..... :( .
Ahem :D
Famous people I've worked with ( or at least been in the office at the same time as them :) ) :
Damon Hill
A small brazilian bloke who drove for Arrows at the same time as DH
Carlos Sainz
Colin Mcrae
Tommi Makkinen
Richard Burns
Armin Schwarz
Sir Jack Brabham
Prince Michael of Kent ( who's the Queen's cousin AND also Prince Philip's cousin :eek: )
Tommy Soharto ( the son of the ex-Dictator, sorry, ex-President of Indonesia )
I went to school with the son of James Hazeldean ( Bayleaf from Londons Burning ) when he was playing the dad in Choky ( kids TV prog from the 80's )
Ray Reardon and John Virgo used to be regular visitors during the week at a nightclub I worked at, genuinely nice guys.
However had Jimmy White and Alex Higgins in there one Saturday night, pissed out of their heads on double Bayleys with a single brandy in. They got a little shirty when I refused to serve them (far too pissed and pissed me off over orange squash and juice) and had to be "asked" to leave by our extremely persuasive doormen. :D

Nice place. He's also seen Ian Rush in a chippy !
His dad also worked with Maggie Reilly (did vocals for Mike Oldfield)
My brother lives in Bermuda and passed Michael Douglas going into a bank (I think) once.
