Famous People
- 6 May 2010 09:1150692I once met Tiff Niddell from Fifth Gear and had a good long chat about technology and the use of Dover for his motor racing team to reach the continent.
I also spent about an hour talking to Interior Minister of Nigeria in a VIP lounge at Abuja airport. We chatted about Nigeria's future, kids and freemasonry.
Also had lunch with the President of Niger's brother. - 6 May 2010 09:1650693I don't like to name drop so I wont. However at this very moment there are a number of famous people who are blogging, twittering and generally discussing that they have met me!
- 6 May 2010 13:5250720I once sat next to Limahl (former lead singer of Kajagoogoo) at Stamford Bridge once. Chelsea won.
And, I sat next to scouse comedian Stan Boardman on a British Caledonian flight back to Gatwick from Jersey once. He laughed at my jokes, which was decent of him. Generally, they're not funny.True friends stab you in the front. - 6 May 2010 14:0650724Ok let's see,
Noel Edmonds and Tony Blackburn (and Mr Blobby) when I was on a judge on a mobile phone awards panel.
The late Charles Hawtree.
I did backing vocals for Ray Lewis of The Drifters last year at an informal gathering.
Joe Egan (boxer and Mike Tyson's sparring partner.) I've met him at do's a couple of times he's a lovely Irish fella.
Suzi Quatro and her daughter Laura (both lovely.)
Carlton Leach (Rise of the foot solider.) Again I've met him at party's a couple of times.
Jodie Marsh who was really sweet and not at all like what I thought she would be.
And I am honoured to call Dave Courtney (reformed gangster) a good friend. He's a wonderful bloke who does lots of charity stuff. - 6 May 2010 14:5850736Flew from Palma to Barcelona in First Class next to James Hunt, F1GP World Champion.

andy
is stan boardman that comedian chap that says the word "german" in a scouse accent, then waits for everyone to laugh? - 7 May 2010 09:4450826I once stood next to Dick Emery in the fish and chip shop in the heady days of yore when big-name acts used to come to Dover (he was just a supporting act). I passed Des O'Connor in Regent Street in 1966 and I nursed Charles Hawtrey when he was, sadly, dying.
