How have you managed to post that twice, with a 30 minute gap in between doing so?

Internet at work had a temporary cock up. Tried to go back to a previous page and hit the page where I entered the post. Oops.
 
I had coffee with Timothy Leary, who lived around the corner from me.

I bumped into Andy Warhol (neither of us were watching where we were going) in a night club in downtown LA.

I worked out at a gym in the same room as Arnold (when he was just another Iron Pumper)

Cher's sis is a friend (not seen her for years though, she moved out of town)

My economics teacher was Timothy O'Leary and he claimed to be David's cousin - kept on at me to get tickets for the 97 cup game with Arsenal though - never did explain why David wouldn't give him some.

I was ballboy at the Goldstone for a game against Cardiff that was on MOTD - never saw me though as they only showed the goal which was down the South end.

I won Richard Gwynne's All 5 Quiz on Southern Sound.

I've been to Center Parcs 3 times and have won the snooker comp twice and the pool tournament the other time.

I've played Cliff Lazarenko at darts with John Lowe watching

I've seen Rodman play for The Bears

I've seen Keegan play at the Goldstone and Le Tissier play for the Albion

I've had my picture taken with Dickie Bird, Ray Illingworth, Neil Foster and Tim Robinson as well as meeting Bob Taylor during the test he made an emergency comeback as wicketkeeper.

I've played The Great Egg Race at a corporate do with Prof. Heinz Wolff refereeing

I've successfully landed in a flight simulator 3 times and was recommended to take up flying

I had goals scored against me in 5 a side by all the great Langney Sports players - Nigel Hole, Mick Green (Even Steve Dell, the goalie scored!) etc - saved a few as well


Come on people - you aren't trying hard enough! I could go on all day! :lol:

My great uncle was involved in the real life wooden horse in a concentration camp in Germany. He was an architect and designed the tunnel for them to escape. :bowdown:

My art teacher at school was dating one of the Levellers and I met him once. Can't remember his name though.

I've got 4............

1.......i serviced Mike Bamber's swimming pool boiler.

2.......i appeared on YOU BET, hosted by Bruce Forsyth .
Had the pleasure of winding in a 7 and a half ton truck with fishing rods........:lolol: :lolol:




Bad news is, that was the start of my history of a bad back.:nono:



3......i've kissed Jordan.



4........I pointed out to Seve Ballesteros where in the lake his ball finished up after a wayward drive at the European Open at East Sussex National.
I was one of the course Marshalls, and was also lucky enough to witness Nick Faldo lose a ball in the stream(He was world no.1 at the time and NEVER lost a ball)..............the ball is now in my possession and has his name stamped on it..........must be pretty rare.

My first date with the now Mrs Titanic was in Worthing... Chariots of Fire at The Odeon (now a shopping centre), followed by a Chicken Phall (or a Korma for the ladies!), with SIMON MAYO, and his then girlfriend (not the present Mrs Mayo) and he was driving his granny's white automatic mini.

:O

My Dad used to cut Peter Bonetti's hair.

Peter Bonetti gave my dad tickets for us to see my first ever footie game, Chelsea v Leeds in Dec 1971.

Is Freddies Maracas a euphamism ?

I once served Keith Chegwyn when working at Chessington World of Adventrues. He asked me to give him a prize even though he hadn't won and told him no to which he used the age old z-list comment.
