The Beatles?...never heard of them

I did see bump into Julian Lennon once in Dublin, not the same though. I am a big Beatles fan, I am very impressed. You are probably better off, it would have ended in divorce, on the upside you would have been incredibly rich, on the down, every woman in the world would not like you very much. I've met a few famous people in my time, but all the Beatles all at once, as a band, before they were famous, thats special. Do you have that autograph to you still?

Some band, long hair, scousers, lippy as well. Not bad at songwriting apparently.

Hmmm...well, back in the distant years, a group of us sang together at various clubs around Hollywood. "Folk music," if you remember that far back. Anyhow, a quiet, sweet fellow with black-framed glasses was part of the scene, too. He sang well and wrote songs. (He was a pretty good kisser, too!)

We called him "Dutch." Later, he changed his name to John Denver.

Did you grope him, Pinks?

(Now, Pinksterrrrrrrr....you're talking to meeeee! TELL! :sneaky: At least you measured his tongue, right?):sneaky:

I KNEW IT! :sneaky:

If I didn't know Wolvie better, I'd have some concern at his referring to any male as "stud" of anything!



(Oh yeah, I met Travis Tritt at a concert a few years ago....)

Had a pee with Eddie Kidd (Motorcycle stuntman) and Jim Kerr (Simple Minds)

I've met Melvyn Hayes (very short actor type person) and I've taken part in a quiz on national radio.



Not much but that's my only claims to fame

Lenny Henry came to do a show for the airmen once when my hubby was in the RAF. It was tickets only but first come first served for seats. we got there early enough but all the front tables had been reserved for the officers! We got the chance to talk to Lenny though as we were there so early and had a word with him, he took the P out of them all night:wah: :wah:

My husband is a taxi driver. One day he was asked by two old ladies to see if he could help them catch up with a bus they had missed, they were going to dover then over to France. They couldnt catch it up ands he ended up taking them all the way to Dover ( we live in Sunderland , north of England) where they caught the hover over to France. The funniest bit is they were only going on a day trip:wah: Anyway it became a bit of a story in our local papers, then in the national papers. The Sun even used it for the topic of a cartoon, and sent a laminated copy to my husband. The old ladies even went on the big breakfast show that was on Channell 4 at the time. Our local radio tried to do one of those wind up jokes on hm about it but he clocked them straight away :wah:

I met Jimmy Buffet and almost passed out! I also met most of the cast from EVAN ALMIGHTY which I happen to BE IN- 4 GOOD SHOTS! WOOHOO
