Afraid I'm unable to answer that one, as every time I try to add another famous person, it comes up "SIM card full, no room for further numbers".Gavin Scott wrote:Here's a better one. How many famous people's phone numbers do you have in your mobile?

Oh Lord Harvey, what I wouldn't give to see some of the gems your little black book must hold!Nick Harvey wrote:Afraid I'm unable to answer that one, as every time I try to add another famous person, it comes up "SIM card full, no room for further numbers".Gavin Scott wrote:Here's a better one.

Knight knight
You have to bring that up AGAIN?Lee wrote:Frank Carson was sat in front of me on a plane once, scruffy bleeder. I often see Anglia reporters wandering around Norwich with cameras (hopefully not as old as the one I got from Bail) and massive fluffy sausages on sticks, or booms as I'm told they often like to be called.
So no, I've never met anyone famous. The only famous people I talk to have all been famous for the wrong reasons

Gillian Taylforth. I've never rang her though.Gavin Scott wrote:Here's a better one. How many famous people's phone numbers do you have in your mobile?
Not that I'm telling. That would make me cheap and nasty.
Everyone hears what you say,
Friends listen to what you say,
Best friends listen to what you don't say.

Hmm the most famous people I've met have been in LA and in Australia.
Home territory I saw a few Crossroads people as they were out and about filming - the others I met were at Carlton Studios, Caroline Quentin & Amanda Holden probably being the most famous.
I went to school with a girl that was in Woof and a girl that was in 'At Home with the Braithwaites'

I've been to paradise, but I've never been with Lee.Bail wrote:I think I know Brian Smith, former Portsmouth TV presenter before they died. He contacted me via the froum so no doubt still lurks around. I was fairly close to sting once, and I have never been near Lee.

I saw David Frost in the Concorde Room in Heathrow Airport... and overheard part of a wonderful telephone conversation:
Also I stumbled across Rowan Atkinson in Londis!......Really? Well... yes! Tell them I'd love to... no, no, tell them I'm interested, but I don't want to have to do it all at 2 A.M. like last time......
Jon Pertwee in lovely Birmingham promoting the sci fi channel in 1996 - 2x autographs!
The deputy speaker of the house of commons outside my primary school years ago - my old MP Sylvia Heal
Fish - but that was in concert so it doesn't count
I've probably seen you know who in Boston.
Michael Barrymore doing his show in Merry Hill's amphitheatre - had a good gander at the LWT recording suite setup for everyone to see
Ed Doolan in Dudley doing something for the Evening Mail!
DLT! Doing something for a radio station - WABC? - at the Sandwell Vintage Vehicle show

I'm pretty sure I walked past Chris Evans in the mid 90s (Radio 1 days), in Bakewell, Derbyshire, though it seemed the most unlikely of places for him to be, so it was probably just some ginger guy who looked incredibly like him!
Personally served Willie Thorne (that bald ex-snooker player/BBC snooker commentator with the big tache) when I used to work on the checkouts in a garden centre near Hinckley. He was accompanied by a blonde lady who looked years younger than him (wife I presume) and bought a trolley load of fake flowers - the one's that cost around 20p each. Came to around £100 and he paid all in cash. Was embarrassing having to hold each tenner up to the light, one by one, as he counted them out to me. (We had to do that).
Also seen loads of other celebs (well, ex-celebs in most cases) but, there's nothing particularly amazing about that considering going to a big event such as a Radio 1 road show means it's nothing personal. Famous people I've actually met and spoken to though include Michael Ancram MP (the posh Conservative), Martin Bell (I'm sure everyone remembers him), Helen Sharman (first British female astronaut)

I've met Michael Aspel in a bookstore, and also used to know Steve Penk's daughter - she used to go to my primary school and was in the same year as me!
Also my mate who's a part timer at Sainsbury's served Caprice. Apparently she's not very partial to loyalty cards.
