I met Sir Paul McCartney and that old skank (Heather Mills) back when I used to work in Birkenhead's Virgin Megastore. They came in with a couple of minders. The senior staff were tryin to get him to sign stuff - which he declined. Paul was resting his voice, so didn't speak unfortunately - I served Heather Mills at till and looked up at him (he wasn't at the counter with her, was in DVD section - and she bought charty crap btw! -ftl!)...so as I looked at him, he winked at me - so I nodded back at him and waved - was all rather surreal. Would've been cool to actually chat to him tho Oh - and I met the Commonwealth Games (96/97?) ladies Swimming teams (lovely ladies ) - when they were in Vancouver, Canada as they came aboard the ship we were stayin on (my dad was Purser and me and 2 sisters were stayin on the ship) ...so the swimming girls and their mum and a few other swimmers from other countries were aboard ...I remember how the Mum of the English Gold-winning girls were passing the swimming costume around - she'd made it herself with loads of sequins etc - was really heavy!!    | ||

Tamer of Bad Tempered Badgers Registered Member #2235 Joined: Thu Jul 02 09, 07:43PMYour Location: The Tower of Impending DOOM Posts: 90 | I know Dave Formula, who plays keyboards for Magazine (and the lesser know Angel Brothers), also near to completing his first solo album (y) I've been good friends with his son since we were about 4 and we're currently housemates. For those who don't know Magazine, they're a post-punk band from late 70s-early 80s who essential were the direct influence for Radiohead. They reformed last year and are still touring around Britain I think.Here's my fav song by them Dave still has his hair in this vid lol (Warning: Contains strong language - not suitable for the young ones) Bit of trivia for y'all, when looking to replace their guitarist John McGeoch, who died in 2004, one of the people they considered was none other than Matthew Bellamy from Muse :o Unfortunatly he couldn't fit the tours dates tho as he had to go off with Muse to Australia for their own tour.  | ||

Rocket/Sticky Humping for Fun and Profit since 2008 Registered Member #1570 Joined: Fri Dec 26 08, 11:43AMPosts: 1068 | Hmmm, lemme see.... - Used to know Rob Halford (Judas Priest), I dated a female friend of his - Used to practice with most of the Yorkshire Cricket Team when I was 8-9, and managed to bowl one Sir Geoffrey Boycott. - Married to best selling author (in Ireland) Tracy Culleton (my high point) - Been in a couple of documentary programs on RTE (Irish equivalent of BBC), and yes my life is that interesting - Just sold my car to the man who played Bran the Magician in The Morbegs (more Irish TV) - Captained a cricket team with at least one Sri Lankan ex-test cricketer (one of the Jayawardenes) - Marched in the St. Patrick's day Parade in Dublin - One way or another, bumped in to most of the cast of Glenroe (Irish TV again.... OK, it's a small country) - Met Sir Freddie Trueman when he came out to Saudi Arabia to give a talk. - Had breakfast with Ari Vatenenen in Belfast just before the old (late 1970s) Circuit of Ireland rally. Couple of others too, but he was the one who stood out. One articluate nutter. - Reported to Scott McNealy (Sun Microsystems) twice. Didn't get fired either time - Managed to Get Clive Lloyd's autograph (West Indian cricket captain in the 70s, but I got him before he was big.... famous, he was always a big man) - Another quite local issue, I got to know and work with a woman called Susan McHugh in 1993, who started a peace movement in Ireland as a reaction to the Warrington bomb, which demonstrated that the IRA did NOT have a mandate from the majority of the Irish people. A huge step in the peace process, and I am fortunate to have met and worked with her. - And finally, I am privileged to have played with a lot of the members above, and others on these forums, some of who are more famous than others here, but are all equal N00bs  | ||
