i've been rip roaringly drunk with Lord Varys a couple of times (before he was Lord Varys) David O'Hara (the 'irish' dude from Braveheart among other things) gave me his mobile number and told me to call him next time i was going to be in glasgow and we'd have a session. i lost his number 
though he seemed mad as a barrel of mad things on a hot day so maybe no bad thing i lost his number 
from my mid to late 20's i worked at a ferry port in Belfast that also handled out of hours bookings. met loads of famous folk during that time. I once almost refused to change someones ferry booking from Holyhead to Dublin because they couldn't confirm any of the details on the booking other than the surname (no booking ref, or vehicle reg and the address he gave me didn't match the address on the booking) the name on the booking should have been a give away seeing as it was for a Mr S Given and the address was Newcastle FC something or other.....(Shay Given was Newcastle United's Goal keeper at the time!)
Met Paul Daniels at 5 am as we opened the vehicle checkin. He thought he was very funny. He wasn't. We had to grin and bear about half an hour of him before he ****** off back into the crappy transit he was using as a camper van
Big Jack Charlton - legend of a man and utterly down to earth. he was travelling over to go fishing in Ireland, which he did quite regularly.
Nearly got into a punch up with one of the guilford 4 (iirc) in a club in Ireland many years back - he appeared in with a few hangers on, one of the fellas with me (he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) thought it would be funny to shout 'you're guilty ya ****' at him. without warning the rest of us i might add. bizarrely it wasn't taken in the spirit of 'haha' it was meant so much argy bargy ensued while those of us in our group who weren't half wits prayed like **** we didn't end up in a shallow grave in donegal somewhere.

Went to school with Andy Gibb, he was a couple of years older but in the class below.
The BG's rented a house off my Grandma.
My teenage sister once had a lift home from some work colleagues, (her first job). Invited them in for a cup of tea.
My mother arrives home to find some hairy grungy looking blokes sat on her sofa, she says she freeked for a second of two but the Public school accents calmed her a bit.
The guys on the sofa were David Coverdale and some of Whitesnake. Sis worked for the bands management company.
A painting of me was exhibited at the Ulster Museum.
My mother had some professional photos taken when I was a nipper, the photographer was also a painter.
He was commissioned to do a painting of a N Irish bloke who did lots of charity stuff for kids, I've forgotten who the guy was but he had been Knighted. This was the 60's
Anyhow I must have looked cute enough for my likeness to be painted as sitting on the famous guys knee.
We lived in S Bucks not far from Pinewood, Beaconsfield and Denham Studios so there were lots of film and TV people who lived locally.
Lots of the Dads Army/Carry On actors lived nearby.
My Grandfather knew a lot of them via the pub.
My mother typed up the original manuscript for the first Terry Pratchett book.

I had a chat with Gordon Shedden in the Honda guest lounge at Thruxton a few years back, really nice guy he is
I love the BTCC, properly good racing with decent people.

Have absolutely no clue who they were but years ago did a Xtreme Karting competition which apparently had several well known people from BTCC apparently but I've not paid enough attention to BTCC for the names to mean anything to me or remember them. I still have the paperwork somewhere but I think it only has first names on it.
Was on court with Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori for a minutes silence at the ATP Tennis Finals as I did the coin toss and had to join in the silence, longest minute ever stood on court!
Also credited in Codemasters Grid II as I provided sound support with my R32 GTR at the time, any tyre squeal or wheelspin noise etc in that game was my car and the R32 GTR of course also

I bumped in to Andrew Lincoln in Cirencester in a small business car park (he had an appointment where my daughter worked, and I was waiting for her, stood by the car).. He was unsure if he had to pay, I said I don't think so, there was a sign for a national parking company based in Hull, he read that and said "I'm not sure I'd give my details to them".. to which I replied "I know what you mean, I grew up there".. Queue a 5 minute chat about the place, it turns out we had both lived there at the same time (he's 2 years younger) and mentioned some things that sounded familiar, but it's all a bit hazy.. He mentioned his Mum was a nurse which was funny because so was mine, although mine was just a general nurse, his was a psychiatric nurse.
Anyway, I phoned my mum later that evening to tell her who I bumped in to, and mentioned his real name and that his mum was a nurse and she said, "that's weird, I used to have a friend from the nursing college with that name who I'm sure was South African and was a psychiatric nurse, we got on really well, they lived just around the corner and you used to play with her son Andrew, he was 2 years younger and moved just a month before we did.. We'd babysit every now and again and they did the same for you.."
Who knows.. personally my mum is at that age she often fills in the gaps, but I do remember going around to a house with a nurse who had a very different accent and had a 3 year old (when I was 5) called Andrew and remember some of the stupid stuff we'd do when all the kids came out in the street and we just messed around.. co-incidence? Most likely, but cool story bro..

I'm not sure, my mum was pretty pushy with these modelling oppurtunities becaues my elder brothers did the same and loved it but after a couple shoots she realised I was not in to it.
I served Fern Cotton 20 Malboro Lights when I worked at a service station London-bound about 25 years ago
She came in with the guy who played Alfie Moon’s younger brother
Actually crazy how many celebs I served working there
