Seen a celebrity - post it here

At a Friday night Soho meet I spotted an actor from The Bill walking down the street the guy plays one of the Superintendent type people. As I pulsed in recognition, he clocked me and our eyes meet. My eye's must have said "You?" his eyes said "Yes its me", and he continued on his way. I really need to look him up and find out what his name is.

I've also been sniffed by Rolf Harris and molested by Ainsley Harriot. But I doubt anyone wants to hear about that.

Got on a plane with Gary Lineker on my return from Honeymoon in St Lucia (2007).

Nasser Hussain is also on site - I made him a coffee first thing to stop him moaning and grumbling all morning.

John Major was here last week.

We've also had the Queen, Rolf Harris, Desmond Tutu, Russell Crowe and Jorge Lorenzo here in the last 18 months and Phil Jupitus!

What is it you do? I'm being nosy...

Sold Elaine Paige a camera - she's so short she could barely see over the counter!
Sold Ken Brown (golfer) pair of binoculars
Shared a lift with Trevor McDonald (another short ****)
Saw Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen at Belfast Airport
Been on the same plane as Nigel Kennedy
Been on the same plane as Tony Blair - missed my chance to do humanity a favour there...

Recently seen Shakey, Kiyo and O'Halloran from HM plant BSB a few times and Neil Spalding turned up at our shop one evening

Have met Dirk Beneditct and Dwight Schultz (face and murdoch from the A-team). I've also met Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) from the Rocky movies. Got photos and siggies from all of them

Was on a plane with Hernan Crespo once but he's a minor.

Guy Martin the other week at work. Was leaving with the missus as I came into graft.
Most of the Newcastle United players (I work in the ground now and again)

We do get the odd celeb in where I'm working atm as its a little bit out of the way

Saw John Hopkins at Croft the other week (again him crash coursing a track), he's stupidly quick

Whilst on the terraces at the Mighty Dartford FC, was standing next to Teddy Sheringham...sent the kids over for them to gt an autograph, to which they simply said "who is he?" as loud as possible.

Turns out his son plays for Dartford.

I'm good friends with the shortarsed Aussie Paul Lewis, who used to be a 500GP racer. He and I met when I was living in Worksop because my boss there was an old friend and his personal manager towards the end of his racing career. I used to regularly stay over and get absolutely wasted with him and other friends at his place in Maidenhead when he lived there. He's quicker on a Harley than most experienced riders are on full-on litre sports bikes and for a shortarse with a mullet he's a complete babe-magnet - gorgeous women flock to him even though he never lets on he's quite wealthy.

Went to a party in Essex one night and sat chatting up Dido, but I hadn't a clue who she was until a mate told me. She went cold as soon as she realised I knew who she was famous - apparently she likes the quiet life out of the spotlight.

Met loads of top-flight racers in the course of work and trackside. I've spent the weekend working at shop openings with Michael Rutter, a day with Jamie Witham, another two or three separate days with Steve Plater and been bought a couple of drinks by Guy Martin at Silverstone, shared a pit garage with Jenny Tinmouth a couple of times and had a great laugh cracking jokes with her all day etc etc.

I know Derek Redmond the olympic gold medalist reasonably well from doing trackdays and racing with him and doing a bit of spannering on his ZX10R when he broke a spark plug in the head.

When I was selling leather interiors for classic Jaguars I sold Phil Collins a trim kit for a Mk2 Jaguar, another Mk2 kit to Bruce Foxton from the Jam and latterly Sham 69, an E-Type trim kit to Frank Carson and sometimes Stirling Moss used to pop into the office to have a natter with the boss cos they knew each other from way back.

Of all of them, Bruce Foxton is the only one who came across at the time as an utter a-hole

I met Danny Boyle a few years ago at a film festivle, I spent time talking with about low budget film making, I was a DOP on a short film at the time. Top guy he is a great director.

I was out drinking in NY when I was teenager I met Goldberg! I have worked in TV and Film, which has been fun met some intresting people.
