One famous at a time... Even better if some story to it...

I met Paddy Ashdown (Lib Dem leader at the time) in Laura Ashley Oxford Street many years ago...

I was with a girlfriend at time who loved Laura Ashley and both Paddy and I were clearly bored as can be and sitting on the sofas at back of the store while our women shopped. A brief nod of understanding was exchanged. That was it

Next?

I've met loads of politicians but that comes with my job... Ministers... I did get offered Tony Blair and passed (cos I wasnt a fan at that time).
 
oooh John Major.. he tried to secure my brothers vote by telling him a dirty joke. He was just an MP then

Oh, how could I forget.

Felicity Jones.

Before she was involved with Star Wars, she played Emma in The Archers and I went to an event, she was there and I spoke to her after the show.

Damn Feek scores AGAIN


I met Prince Michael of Kent when he presented me a prize at my school. We had to spend book tokens and get presented the books. All the other kids got presented books on their subjects, I got a pile of Science Fiction titles and a strange stare from the Prince. LOL. I'm glad I chose something I would enjoy!
 
Oh we sat next to Meera Syal (of Goodness Gracious Me and many other things) on a plane to France. She was lovely and friendly.

I sat next to Trent Reznor at dinner in the early 90s because he was friends with someone I was there with
At that same dinner I sat next to Andrew Braybrook - 5 stars to anyone who remembers who he is
Had dinner with Alan Rickman in the mid 90s because he was friends with a girl I was dating at the time (he was patron of her dramatics society)

And once again, aside from the Nine Inch Nails Guy, I have no idea what someone is talking about, and after Googling, I thank the good Lord that I have f.a. interest in it either.
