I dunno. He was living in a dirty squat with a bunch of thieves and alcoholics. Then theplace burned down. He claimed to be writing an amiga game, but he could hardly see straight most of the time.

I did actually stalk Paul Blackburn from Gomez around Hull for around 15 minutes to see what he did. He went to McDonalds and dropped some change, then I got bored. I had already met him two weeks prior when one of the band's mates I was talking to in The Room in Hull introduced me to him.

Andy Cole and Sir Bobby Charlton, spotted yesterday at Atlanta airport. They were on the same flight as me out of Manchester but I didn't clock them till baggage claim. One of the lasses I'm with scored some photographic evidence I can shove up when I get back.

I work in the building where the Daily Star is made. You'd think there'd be a few more celebrities around these parts, but no, the only ones I've seen have been Matt Cardle and Dappy (from N-Dubz.....tenuous I know).
Apparently Jordan was in the building once. I resisted the urge to go and smack her.

He was in the motorhome with us as he was a mate of Noel Edmonds and the bloke is just so unlikeable, at first I was looking forward to meeting him (Noel had hired Castle Combe for the day and there was only 6 of us there in total) but within minutes it had become apparent that he is a first class cunt. His face was a picture when he Noel wouldn't let him drive his GT40, he wouldn't let anybody drive that but he did take us out in it. We were trying to get him to slip certain words into his next F1 commentary but he's just so far up his own arse I'm not sure he can hear anything other than what comes out of his own fucking mouth.

Reminds me of my Dax's claim to fame. He was at a friend's farm in the borders, and his mate's dad was meant to be taking them to a Scotland international rugby match at Murrayfield the next day. In the morning he says "sorry lads, can't make it, but don't worry, the neighbour's going to take you."

The neighbour was Jim Clark, then the current F1 World Champion, who drove them to Murrayfield in a Lotus Cortina in ridiculous fashion, then took them all out for dinner at the Automobile Club in Edinburgh or Glasgow before taking them home.

He used to 'buzz' the work area in his helicopter. Stupid bastard.

When I flew the weather-check sortie when I was a flying instructor, I used to use the required low-level segment to overfly my wife's hotel she worked in to say "good morning." I thought it was a nice thing

Yeah but you are a fighter pilot, he is a tosser in a crap helicopter. He will probably go the same way as Colin McRae .

Walking down Oxford St one day I was passed by Prof. Heinz Wolf.

Never heard of that. Wait, they weren't the lectures that used to be on weekend mornings are they? I used to watch them as a kid without really knowing what is going on.
