Harry Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I have been called a '**** tortoise' by Gordon Ramsey in 2008 when asked to cook a fish course in his kitchen at one of his restaurants when we were sitting at the chefs table in said kitchen. Apparently I did not get it to the serving point quick enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I once made Joao Havelange a mug of proper builders' tea (not in the last 24 hours I hasten to add). Same for Sepp Blatter too, but he's not quite so topical today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted April 3, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Thread resurrection. I saw Phil Jupitus at a Belle & Sebastian gig about 12 years ago. I wittily shouted “Phil!!” at him, but he didn’t reply so he can’t have heard me. I’ve met Chief Whip Gavin Williamson on a few occasions. He once gave me his business card. I once met Timmy Mallet at RAF Cosford. Jimmy Lea, of Slade fame went to my school (a fair few years before I was born, admittedly). My brother kept a clean sheet in a 5 a side game with Leon Clarke playing for the opposition. I’ve said hello to Kele from Bloc Party at Telford train station; and Rick from Ash while queuing outside the academy in Birmingham to see them live, literally no one else who was there to see the gig said anything to him. I regularly run past the house Jonathan Wild was supposedly born in (he was both an 18th century thief taker general and a London crime lord and inspiration for the character Professor Moriarty). I’ve taken on Mark “The Beast” Labbett from “The Chase” at a quiz in a bingo hall. We did enough to get to the final round to face him, but we were soundly beaten in the end. Here’s a blurry picture of him shaking my hand after said defeat. For purposes of scale, I’m 5’8” tall.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hold onto something sturdy......because these will blow you away. I was on holiday at Pontins whilst Holiday On The Buses was filmed. I was 2, don't remember it and didn't get on screen. I was on holiday with Tyson Fury. He was very "tired" and didn't say much. I went to the same school as Tessa Sanderson and the lead singer of Babylon Zoo. But not at the same time. I apparently worked with Apprentice star Ruth Badger. But I don't remember her. She remembers me but not in a good way. I once looked around Roger Moore's holiday home. It was too expensive and he would not reduce the asking price. I slept with Carol Decker from T'Pau. (We were asleep in the same room.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short version is, I thought she was an irritating friend, turned round swinging a punch to discover it wasn’t who I thought it was but the presenter of the TV prog we were at with a camera right behind her.

I went on holiday there in the mid 70's after Holiday On The Buses was filmed there. Along with Hi De Hi, Holiday on the Buses formed my later career choice.

AJ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 In the nineties, I once did security detail for Kylie Minogue at a Westfield in Brisbane. She signed some shit for fans, and after I escorted her to her car ( with three other dudes and her entourage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
