Hi everyone,

As our friend Turnip seems to be on first name terms with 'Mike ' J. Fox, and as I don't fancy watching the box, I was thinking 'does anyone know or has met or just spoken to anyone famous'?


I’ll start off with those that I can remember:-

I have met and spoken to - Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett of The Shadows.
Tom Jones – quite regularly in the 60’s (Tommy Scott and the Senators in those days, at the local dance).
Irene Handle – actress
Patrick Campbell – he with the stammer, if you remember.
Gene Pitney
Jon Gregson –actor, in the New Theatre bar in Cardiff
Ray Smith – actor, quite regularly in another bar in Cardiff
Lord Carnavon – in a pub in Berkshire
Andrew Lloyd Webber- also in a pub in Berkshire, twice.
footballers Norman Hunter, Peter Osgood, Tommy Smith, Pat Jennings, and others
Alan Sugar, Tommy Docherty
Several MP’s inc Charles Kennedy and Leo Abse
Over the Atlantic - Trevor Eve and family, Dusty Springfield ,Connie Francis, Debbie Reynolds, Ian McShane and others
Dickie Davies
Art Malik
Lord King – BA, Douglas Bader, Lady Bader
William Devane – actor ( had dinner in his restaurant,and also sat & chatted with him in Palm Springs, whilst we waited for our wives to finish their shopping.
Several Welsh Rugby internationals

Oh and Max Boyce

Regards,

Mike.

ps welsh celebs don't count, anyone can be famous in wales. Its like being well known in loughborough. no offense meant to loughburgers

Ali - very impressive, though I am surprised at you keeping company with conservative peers - you need to draw the line somewhere.

Hey Turnip,

Welsh is my nationality , English is just a language, and somewhere to pay excessive amounts of Council Tax.

My reply to a recent thread :-


I live in England ( I came up from Wales to educate the natives )

My Mother, and family came from Westbury Sub Mendip - England

My Father, and family came from Richards Castle - England

I support England in soccer, and almost any sport,and will give full support at the Olympics

But when it comes to Rugby I only support two teams :-

WALES, and whoever is playing against England.

Regards,

Taff.
