He was surrounded by a group of gorgeous model type girls (I was obviously not amongst that group) and I moved away when he shouted to the barmaid, another pint of lager and you're tits please love

Ooo and Ive shook hands with John Major, who was Prime Minister at the time. I said pleased to meet you Mr Major, and he said likewise. I was a complete git but at least I didnt curtsey.

My claims to fame are.. Tea with tommy Steele.

Bryan Blessed used to stories to me when he was having dinner with my mum( he told them so lovely)

Was once in an episode of the pink windmill. No I was not grotbags.

played a concert with my school band and Sir Richard Attenbrough told me I was a very talented young lady and would go far.

Tap danced with Roy castle ( okay with a lot of other people but) lol

Best one I think is telling Robbie williams to go sleaze on someone else. I was young at the time in a pub in Manchester, he was telling me and my mate that him and his mates were going to be the next big thing. We called him a few choice words... We were kinda a bit shocked a few weeks later when they were everywhere.. lol

Think thats it...

oh no... forgot went carol singing at Shaken Stevens house and he gave me money and cookies. Was really nice guy..

I massage a lot of celebrity clients backstage at music festivals and concerts, done the odd spot of massaging at film, tv & comercial shoots, two notable ones were helena bonham carter and jonny depp while filming Alica in wonderland at St Anthony houae in cornwall the rest I will not mention doe to client confidentuality.

I've made a couple of tv programmes, one was for the old TSW a fishing programme with Ted Tuckerman and the most recent one was a fly on the wall documentary called the Real Bad Girls, all about prison life.

I've been flown over to LA to massage on the set of a movie (it flopped) and I an currently trying to get a massage job with an F1 team so that I can go all over the world.

Oh and I've been appointed as a lead massage therapist foratheletes at the 2012 olympic games.

My ex's cousin had a lead part in The Wire ans is always in the west end and my folks new Veron Kays parents very well.

I am a published author and have plenty to get on with that will keep be busy for a few years. I am working on something now that will be on BBC Radio 4 in the autumn. Well, let’s face it, I can do all that without ruining my “Couch Potato” image!

As non paid work, I have written Eulogies for those bereaved and who find themselves unable to concentrate on such a task at such a time. One of the most rewarding aspects of what I do is writing what I call “Snippets for the departed” Falls far short of the Eulogy but conveys sentiment for cards or letter of condolence. Although I only do this work alongside the bereaved, it is still strange to me, but I guess some folk just can’t find the words…

I met Eric Morecombe at his house in Harpenden. I delivered a cement mixer to a builder who was doing some work and the builder was away from the job. As I tried to pull the cement mixer round the back it got caught on one of these brick surrounds round a drain. Suddenly it freed up and I fell over, turned to see the delightful Mr Morecombe smiling from over the top of the mixer! He was really a top guy and his wife…

Frank Ifield lived about 100 yards from Eric Morecombe. Every year he had a large charity event in his garden and we used to supply the chairs, tables plus cutlery and crockery for this event. Real nice guy who seemed to worry about other way more than he needed to.

Oh and I caught some bank robbers once!

Once helped rehabilitate a drug addict towards a healthier lifestyle. One month later he was on Jeremy kyle show.

Have mets lots of Blackburn Rovers footballers from 1998-2003 and coronation street cast in same period. Didnt know a lot of the time though as i dont like soccer nor soaps so was usually afterwards someone would chirp up with 'do you know who you just served?'

Sat beside Niall Quinn (ex-irish soccer international) on plane back to ireland. He was great. Very down to earth and welcoming and warm with everyone.

Back at home in Ireland i used to serve Paddy Johns (ex-irish rugby international) about once weekly in shop i used to work in. Great guy also. Quite shy but always remembered what we had chatted about previously. I felt quite special as he was my rugby idol, probably because i played same position as he did.

Was in a one year relationship with ex-mode/body double (apart from breasts) for Catherine Zeta Jones and face double pics/shots were only distance shot. But she was ass double for Zeta-Jones for quite some time.

Dont want to boast about this lass though. I really detest cowards. But something i regret - we were supposed to go to swingclub in Manchester some years ago, but i badly hurt my back,groin and shoulder that day playing rugby. She travelled five hours and ended up nursing me instead. Was to be her first time at a club, FFS.

Have met all top WRC drivers apart from some guy called 'Loeb' whoever he is. Think hes spanish. Have met Colin McRae (MBE, RIP) three times face to face, but couldnt speak each time. He is the only person that has left me starstruck. Once barged my way through about 100 little children just to get a de3cent photo of him.

Have met Paul McGrath (ex man-u and rep. of ireland soccer player) he was ok also.

Met Frank Carson in Dublin aeroport, Haha hes a clown.

Lorraine Kelly twice, shes quite nice, just blends in rushing around shopping like anyone else.

Carol Vorderman. Always fancied her and met her when i got into a lift in london. She asked what floor i was going to and i replied "i'll have 2 from the top, 1 from the bottom and three from anywhere else, please Carol". Sorry couldnt resist an attempt at humour.

But then, to be fair, if there was a Superinjunction, you would say that.

I always wondered who it was Jeremy Clarkson has taken his out against.

And I assumed it was to avoid the adverse publicity his extra marital liaisons would generate.

But now I understand.

It's the shame of it being you.

I suspect he's further down the scale than Jeremy!

I think the shame is probably mine!

"I wonder how many peeps on here have hears of Frank Ifield, i certainly have, my mother loved his music"

Had to listen to it as a very young child because me dear ole' mum used to play his records! And so did Gran when she used to look after us...

I could also have mentioned the stuff I wrote on a previous thread about Knebworth and a few other things, but don't want to bore you all!!!

(No it's NOT too late for that!)
