I would have thought a number on here would have been taught by the odd famous person.

Yes
[smug git smilie]
Did a movie with Brian Blessed (Now Sir) Ian Mckellan and Paul Henry (of Crossroads fame)
Helped out another production when their Macs went on the fizz. That was with Francesca Annis (Dead good looking in real life) and Roy Marsden
Did another production with Roy Marsden when the production required all of the networked computers to get hit by a virus (faked it by using a Commodore Amiga to produce the output and a simple Basic programme to show the virus. Copied the look of Wordstar as the programme that got hit and put a load of gibberish about Plastification in the document. The gibberish however was accurate enough for the sad gits who right in to TV Times complaining of errors).Comment

Right...
My niece works for the LibDems, and she was recently offered a job by Lempit Opik, who's doing a Cheeky Girl.
I played cricket with Nigel Martyn in Cornwall. Blooming good wicket-keeper/batsman he was too.
I used to work with a chap who did bit-parts on TV. I once saw him on Spooks, playing a chap whose car got commandeered by MI5.
I met and had a drink with Keith Floyd in his pub in Devon. His girlfriend was a bit of alright!
Oh, and I've played cricket at Lord's.
Ha! Top that!Comment
