I don't think I've met anyone famous, although I used to know the guy who prepared Steve Davis' 9-ball cues.

I used to be a 'part time' newspaper photographer when I was younger....


I have met Nelson Mandela (on 2 occasions), Eugene Terblanche and have a photo of my eldest son shaking hands with F W De Klerk (several years ago when De Klerk was South Africa's president)

Re: who is the most famous person you have met ?

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.

Re: who is the most famous person you have met ?

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).
