Celebrity Encounters? I've had a few...
One of the best was briefly meeting Adam Ant the day before he went mental with the starter pistol in Kentish Town. He was clearly not in a good place, dressed like a complete cooont and rambling nonsense. He was trying to get a tattoo and provided his own design (I was waiting in the tattoo shop in Soho) which looked like a five year old's scribble. About 10 seconds after he left the shop I popped my head out of the door and Graham Norton walked past.

I also saw Kathy Burke, I would have stopped her and said hello but there were some very drunk people nearby who clocked her at the same moment I did and the look on her face said "please don't stop me because they'll come and hassle me too". So I left it.

My missus met Julie Walters who stopped filming the thing she was doing and came and had a cup of tea and a chat with her - she was really nice apparently. And current Birmingham City manager, then Man United defender Steve Bruce used to live opposite my gran, he gave us loads of free match tickets and we gave his son chicken pox... he was really nice over and above the call of duty!

My length is long, my girth is wide, lie down lady & I'll put it inside...
