    I shared a large urinal with Jools Holland once (as in we were both peeing in it, not standing in it). I told him not to cross the beams.

    No mate. Listen up. A spurious link.

    My mother went out with a bloke who's friend had an aunt who's son delivered dry-cleaned costumes to the back door of the place where Toomy Steele once did an act.

    I went to business school with a guy who sang backing vocals on Rod Stewards "We are sailing" as a schoolboy - and his dad used to be executive director of the bank of England. And I once had someone in my hotel who was the mother of Lloyd Grossmans ex wife.

    When inter-railing with friends in 98, and wondering through Venice, I called out to Roy Hodgson who was walking out of a bookies with his wife, at the time when he was rumoured as favourite for the caretaker roll at Inter, having previously managed there. He replied in a deep booming voice - Alwiiight boys?

    I also got VIP tickets to Exeter Falcons speedway, after my mum won my high school raffle. I got to shake hands with the club captain at an 'important meet'

    My sister was doing a bit of waitressing and served soup to a good percentage of the Norwich City first team the night before they played Leicester a few years ago.

    This was at the same hotel where Lineker held his first wedding reception; the police presence was such that initially I couldn't drive past the hotel to get home. In short, Lineker got married at the bottom of my garden - it backed onto the hotel. Beat that.

    The reception catering probably wasn't much cop though - unless you really, really like crisps. ;)

    My wifes second cousin was married to an english actor called Bryan who was an actor in LA, he was the baddie in Tango and Cash, Repo man, Blade Runner and also in The 5th Element, he's dead now, though.

    Again, my wifes second cousin re-maried to an actor who was in a volvo advert some years ago as the bloke who folded the parachutes but drove an S60.

    I once went out with a barmaid who went to a perty with the group "LA Mix" in 1990 at the metropolis nightclub in Saltcoats.

    Staying on a Scottish theme, I bent the forks on my Grifter, so my dad took it to the bike shop in Irvine and G.Obree was working there at the time and he fixed my Grifter. Mr Obree also lives in saltcoats and I used to live near there.

    OK, time to bring out the big guns...

    My sister in law was once locked in a bookshop with Michael Jackson so he could browse in peace.
    My sister in law was also once chatted up by Brazilian football legend Pele.
    My sister in law knows all the greats......

    In a nutshell - "Graeme Obree fixed my bike". That's raised the bar no end - I'm properly impressed by that. Nice one! :)

    Ha ha, I remember you. As an obsessed teenager I wrote to Jenny for a signed photo and specifically stated that she made sure you weren't in it. I've still got the photo somewhere, black & white with her in a stripey tp and 80s perm (and I'm still obsessed with her) :lol:
