VILLAMARV Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I did 'the fools panel' once in 90minutes magazine. Villa weren't on that week so I predicted the score of a Hearts game in Scotland instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Folk wanting Bicks stories made me think we could have a drop off point for our brushes with the famous. I've obviously got some absolute doozies. Everyone from Isla St Clair to Rita Chakrabarti. But I'll kick off with a topical one, Will Self. Me and my boss were walking through that London en route to a meeting. Coming the other way, Will Self. For no obvious reason I got eye contact with WS and he did that minimal eyebrow flick and a mumbled 'hi'. The boss spotted it and asked if I knew him. I said no. A week later and the same happened again, except WS was with a huddle of people and he gave a pronounced nod and audible 'hi' at me, sort of waving a coffee cup in my direction. The boss is now convinced I know Will Self but for some reason won't tell him how I know him. (I guess WS either does that as a random thing, or he vaguely knows someone that vaguely looks like me, or he enjoys mind games) Edited March 8, 2019 by chrisp65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted March 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2019 At the risk of making this thread about Will Self (I’m sure there’s an onanism joke In there somewhere), I once had the misfortune of being seated at a table adjacent to him in a restaurant. He regaled his table (I’m presuming it was wife, nanny and an assortment of kids) and the whole restaurant with self-aggrandising stories throughout in the loudest shouty voice he could muster Utterly repellant human being. The maitre-d even apologised to us for his boorish behaviour once he’d left. I will have to reasses my opinion of @chrisp65 now that I know they’re best friends. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Yeah, if it's too similar a thread then I guess the blue meanies can just merge it / disappear it. Not a prob. In the meantime, I've met and chatted with international movie and musical bloke Jonathan Price. He was trapped in a lift with me and I was pissed and repeatedly called him Robert.
