Celebrity meetings (preferably wacky)

I know you all must have one, everyone has.

I got a bunch but i'll start with this:

Walking into these girls dressing room (hotel room) at covstock when they were half naked.

Robots In Disguise / part time actors in The Mighty Boosh.


We booked them and i was their liason so it was cool to go in, and i did knock, didn't expect them to be pretty much half naked though, was a nice perk of the job.

nice, the bass player was checking out Paul Fiori when i was stood side stage with him

i sat on kenneth williams knee when i was a very young boy, he was fully clothed

saw mudhoney in nottingham centre walking towards us a night they played and dived into a very handy record shop and bought suck you dry then got it signed by all but steve turner, very nerd like

David Speedy came my sisters wedding but was a bit of a t0sser

I was at an old Cov City players wedding (Ray wood...wwhhhhhhhho!) and a bunch of the first team were there dancing on the tables with their trousers off, i'm talking the Quinn, Flynn and other one that sounded the same, oh and Ndlovu was there too.

I got autographs too, was about 11 or something so i'm struggling to remember.

also met Zane Lowe at the peak of Bo Selecta popularity and pissed up shouted in his face "zaneeeeeeeee lowe" (like Craig David style) and he replied with "alright mate."

Hahaha, thats the first time I've heard that story. thank god John didn't go in.

I was at the Ice bar in London about a year ago and someone bloke pushed in front of me when I was queuing for the bar to which I called said gentleman an ignorant c@nt, turned out to be Nick Hodgson of the Kaiser Chiefs.

I tried to pull Zane Lowes trousers down in Ibiza this year whilst he was DJing. But I failed.

I got picked out of the crowd at the Coventry StreetJAM festival (basketball shindig in the pool meadow car park) and had to score 3 goals past Daily Thomson in order to win the new Adidas Predator boots. Again I failed.

Was in the same curry house a Dean Gaffney.

Best of all I used to work at Ikon, and on student night, whilst the wrestling was on at the Skydome Arena, they failed to mention to me that my child hood hero's Mick Foley and D-Lo Brown were doing a PA, was walking around the staff area and I thought "I reconise that scruffy bastard", got a bit star struck, I got Mick Foleys signature but he failed to dot the 'eyes' on his 'smiley face'. (his trademark logo)

Had a piss in between Bob Geldof and Simon Pegg when the dolls played NME awards.
Had a piss with 2 members of Goldie Looking Chains at Radio 1 Big Weekend
Stole beers from Hard-Fi's Changing room at Koko's and drank them with Libertines Drummer(Who has an unusually high voice)
Embarrassed myself in front of Brian May whilst off my tits!
Tried to talk about football(Which I know very little about) with google eyed fella from Travis whilst off my tits.
Tried to tell singer from Travis a funny story involving me singing "Why does it always rain on me" on holiday which wasn't actually that funny....whilst off my tits.
Nodded my head to Noel backstage at Glasto and getting no response whatsoever "Cunt"

haha, i've heard your funny stories Neil

sounds to me like you spend a lot of time hanging around celebrity toilets, whilst off your tits

nodded my head to both Andy Gray and Trevor Francis, both aknowledged me, cunts!

met Lady Di and Charles before they got married

met Darth Vader, fully suited, was the real actor inside

Funny you should mention the Toilet thing I met George Michael once when he was hanging out of my arse....whlst I was off my tits!!

My Mum sat behind Sean Connery at the belgrade many years ago - when he was Bond.
She told him she'd never actually seen any of his films, but thought he was great anyway.

Gary? he dj'ed Supernova for me in august, yeah really high voice, stella bloke though

Yeah Gary. He was sound, Hard-fi's manager/agent gave us loads of grief about it too. Hard-fi were ok...except for the singer.Head up his arse!!

i had a signature for mark speight from smART many years ago but has long been thrown in the bin during a clear out.

OOOW how could i forget, and after Dale's reminder yesterday, meeting Orlando Weeks of The Maccabees. just a little bit tasty. x

I met him when he was a scenester geek being all wacky before they were famous. They were one of the worst bands I've ever seen!

Did a gig with Jamie T, met him and his missus, nice bloke. Hung out with Goldie and a few of his minders last december at the Kasbah. Had a luagh with Calvin Harris earlier this year when his mate was off his tits.. Awesome bloke. Funny as hell.

Chino Moreno from th Deftones once stole my pen to sign AUtographs at Rock City in Nottingham.

As a kid, Met and got autographs from the entire 1987 Coventry 1st team, bet that scrapbook is worth a few bob now... Including Big john Sillett.

And to cap it all off, 5 years ago I fixed Actor Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale) in Eastenders's TV. He was a right cunt.

Jamie T got an entire gig crowd to boo me. He's mean.

Why did he do that? spill the beans.

When we met Orlando Weeks (i was interviewing him) I missed his name from the tour manager so i said "sorry, what's your name?" and he said looking puzzled at my request "...Orlando" and I said "oh yeah, you're the singer aren't you?".

I think he twigged at that point I wasn't a fan.

Aww, I love the maccabees.

Apparently he was in the same year at school as Florence & Jack Penate and if he didn't look so very young I'd think that the other 2 were lying about only being 22 as they look MUCH older.

Gene Simmons (OBviously), who asked me if he could buy Cov cathedral
