Who is the most famous person that you have met?

Im going to try and sell the Jimll fix it badge on “E-Bay”. Might get a couple of quid, I swear the damn thing is jinxed!!!

A fresh one!

Friday night, during the Metallica concert, i had one of my many pees at Rock Werchter. The guy who unzipped and relieved to my right was Robert Smith from the Cure. And although i’m not sure about the detailed parts of his anatomy (even though i was in the right position, just that i don’t care), Robert Smith certainly has become Fat Bob as Flood once revealed here.

Oh, and met Luc de Vos there too. He didn’t pee, he drank.

It makes you wonder how he has managed to avoid prison, really.

You think they’d welcome him in prison? :confused:

Flood.™

my mum used to play tracy in corination street

I have this fun live where half is aviation and half is playing guitars.

Met lots of rock people and most were great.

I do the “Flying Visit” interviews in Aeroplane and that now amounts to about 50 interviews. Of those, some were fun, some were awe inspiring and some were a little dull but in only one case did I seriously HATE the person involved. I will not say who it was but I could happily have chinned the obnoxious git.

Fave intervewees are Neville Duke (who initially refused) and, in a non Flying Viz interview, Joan Hughes.

After a while the meeting of ‘famous’ people gets mundane (for Clapton’s sake even I have been asked for an autograph) but I have fun thinking of famous guitars I have played.

I have played Apache on the Strat that Hank used
I have played guitars from the Who, the Stones, Genesis, Pink Floyd and loads more I have forgotten.
I have played Eric’s “Blackie” that just sold for $959,400 and I have played one of Hendrix’s Strats and the Black V that he used on Rainbow Bridge and the little black Gretsch that George Harrison used at the Cavern

This will mean nothing to aviation people, and it did not make me more virile, but it was fun.

Oh, and I got to spend time with the man whose company made my aeroplane and who flew it from Kansas to California in 1939.

John B: That’s pretty impressive. [I]And [/I] you own a Bearcat – of sorts!

Ren Frew: When and where is the JS interview being broadcast?

Brush with fame…

Aside from politicians famous in the US only, mine all have something to do with aviation….

Bob Hope, U.S. actor and comedian…now they’ve named an airport after him.
Jimmy Stewart, actor and WWII Liberator pilot based in Norfolk.
Ed White, astronaut, first American to walk in space. Killed in 1967 Apollo 1 fire.

But one of my biggest thrills was meeting the neice of the Wright Brothers, Ivonette Wirght Miller. Her attorney husband was the executor of the Orville Write estate. She was in her 90s when I met her…and it sounds corney but it was an honor to meet someone who knew the brothers from her childhood until Orville’s death in 1948.

My autographed book collection includes Orville Wright, Charles Lindbergh, Jimmy Doolittle, Mustang ace Don Gentile, aviation author Ernie Gann, astronauts John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Alan Sheppard, Frank Borman.
And Chuck Yeager….

Anyone know if the infamous unseen “Have I Got News for You” with Saville was for real, or just an urban myth?

He really is a vomit inducing cigar chomping old letch. I can’t believe TV and Radio still entertain (I will use that word loosely) him.

He must be 80 if he’s a day.

Jewellery Jewellery Jewellery, they should melt all his gold down, the value of it would probably feed a small country for a year, or supply a small argos near a council estate.
😮

Did she wear Gold Lame tracksuits as well Creepy Creepy MF.

I told him anymore of his nonsense and Im going to the police.. Amazing what bargaining powers a Callipo Ice Lolly has when you are eight years old.

He needs incarcerating with Jonathan King 😡

His radio mic pack slipped down his trousers, he invited a young sound dept trainee to retrieve it for him. 😮

He keeps all his dead mum’s clothes and effects in a room as if she was still alive and kicking.

Hi Janie
well you didn’t make a serious mistake so a gentle correction was all that was needed.
I could say (having met you) that you’d be too young to know who the heck Ravi Shankar was!!—would that be too cheesy though?

As far as using other peoples toilet facilities go I once used HM the Queen’s private toilet at Sandringham. When they stay at Sandringham they don’t stay in the house but live in a very nice farm house on the estate. Very tastefully furnished but not opulent.
I was a service engineer on a call there about twenty years ago and got given a guided tour by one of the estate managers.
See Ya
Andy 🙂 🙂

I shot a talk show at the beeb with him a couple of weeks ago, You want stories ? I’z got the stories !!! 😮

Just don’t ask about his dead mother’s clothes, that’s all !!!!! 😮
