Can't remember if we've done this one lately but have you ever met anyone famous?

I've only ever met :

Billy Connelly - Sydney circa 1985 near the Opera House.

Mick Robinson - Magpie presenter in the early 70's. (Worked on his house).

I've been in Jayne Torvill's bedroom!

(20 years after she had left the Newsagent shop she lived in as a child).

Oh and I met a Telletubbies sister. The sister was the little red 'Po'.

Well this thread is just ripe for abit of name dropping, I know loads of famous people, most are clients/collecters and some become friends bill oddie , danni minogue , several actors a politician or two and a couple of pop stars, they're all just ordinary people some interesting others not so, prince charles is my landlord.
I once had dinner with Kylie minogue and the new kids on the block , Paul mccartney,terry wogan, helen mirren,David Suchet,Gary Kemp,David Threlfall,richard and judy, harold wilson, loads I can't think of etc,and loads of famous people come here on holiday and stray into my studio.

I have met:

Graham Norton (twice)
Dave Lynn (from ch4's "Faking It")
Leslie Crowther (had lunch with him a few months before his accident)
Colin McAllister & Justin Ryan.

I have spoken on the phone to:

Natalie Imbruglia (handled a warranty claim for a Loewe Telly!)
Stirling Moss (I used to do tenant vetting and he owns property)

And, when I was born, on the Isle of Man, our next door neighbour was Francis Rossi! (Although I have no memory of ever seeing him, hardly surprising given that we moved when I was 8 months old!)

Not a bad set of claims to fame......

Once when I was on a balcony of a big building near Rome, a member of the crowd nudged a nun, and said "Do you know who that is, on the balcony?"

The nun replied "Do you mean the old man in the robes, standing next to JohnD?"
