Yes, thanks. Way too many to namedrop

When I was about 13, I invited Kylie to my birthday bash, as we have the same birthdays.
She never turned up, so from that moment on, I will never go out with her. She keeps calling, but I hang up!
I know I must of been very sad to ask her, but hey got to try asking.

When I was about 13, Larry Grayson was making an appearance at Allders in Eltham. Me and my mate went and got signed photos.
Why, I will never know.
I was in a band about 5 years ago with a guy who worked on 'EDITED 'n' Dom In Da Bungalow'. It was a weird experience to have Richard McCourt (EDITED), Melvyn O'Doom, Ian 'Harry Batt' Kirkby, among others at one of our gigs.
I've had a few near misses. One of which I was apparently standing in the queue at the till behind Phill Jupitus in HMV, Lakeside about 10 years ago, but didn't clock him (the Wife did though).
I once saw Vera Duckworth on Queen Mary 2.





I don't think I've met anyone famous, although I used to know the guy who prepared Steve Davis' 9-ball cues.
No signature worth mentioning...
