Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Stalked by the Camberwell Carrot ManIn London a few years ago, I walked out of a shop straight into Ralph Brown (bloke from Withnail & I or "Pilot No.1" in The Phantom Menace to the young scallywags), I apologised for bumping into him and not knowing what to say, said "your Ralph Brown aren't you" the reply was "yes I am" then having asked such a stupid question and not knowing what else to say, I walked off. A few hours later I was in HMV, and a someone walked into me, it was Ralph Brown. I kind of laugh/nodded at him in a kind of "me again" way and he just looked scared and walked away.
These days I live in Brighton and often see him in my local, obviously he wouldn't remember the weird bell-end from that day and I never attempt conversation as its just too painful a memory (plus ignoring famous people is funnier as they expect to be spoken to).
PS: Despite being years old, shouting "Rickeeeee" when Sid Owen is around is still hilariously funny as I proved a few weeks ago in a pretentious wankers bar in Farringdon. He gets upset.
