Recently met Jackie Dixon from Brookside at a friends party, but back in 1995 whilst in New York, I had a lovely 10 minute or so chat with Ted Danson whilst stood at the bar in the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.

Many years ago, Arthur Scargill, egotistical big headed twat, this was just after the miners lost to maggie. At the same time met John Prescott who was the same big headed twat sa Scargill.

went to the world cup in US in 1994 on business; attended a function hosted by the Japan 2002 committee..
Bobby Charlton was an ambassador for the Japanese and a colleague from work was a good friend of his..
I asked if he could introduce to just say Hi.. we shook hands and he said talk later as he was meeting & greeting VIPs ...
Thought no more but once the king pins had left; he got a plate from the buffet and joined me and my colleagues ...
My bro was so jealous as he's been a life long Man U fan  |

The most famous people I have spoken to, are Sir Geoff Hurst, at a corporate golf day at The Belfry and Lenny Henry, in the gents at a club, lol.
I've spoken to many people who later became famous, such as Mark Knopfler, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewert, Slim Jim McDonnal from Stray Cats. Used to go to a rock club in Dudley during 70s and 80s that was on the promotional circuit of a lot of record companies. Spoke to Chris Eubanks, complete with monacle, in Oxford Street, during a weekend break away with Kate  |

That's it miliband lol - spelt wrong for effect! Lol
Yes, I spoke to him several times over the course of a day in my former job.
What was the most basic and easiest explanation I could give him, he still kept on with the "sorry I don't understand" or "so what you're saying is"
Which was then followed by "so what's Happening now?"
It was like being stuck in a fucking time warp with him
In real life away from his advisors he is just crap, really really crap!
