I stayed at a Hilton next to Norwich airport in 1996. My ex went upstairs - I paid bill and followed - pushed past some weed looking oddly at me. My ex said "did you see Gary Numan". Seems I pushed him out of the way...
Sorry Gary. -

Remember him! I was in love with him
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

I remember seeing Craig Charles in the lobby in a hotel near Maidstone. Rather foolishly I decided to play cool and ignore him, instead of getting him to sign my Red Dwarf book.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI stayed at a Hilton next to Norwich airport in 1996.

Sorry Gary.
Another time apparently I was in the queue to check in a hotel in Glasgow with Jason Orange. Except I didn't (and still don't) know what "Jason Orange" is.

Once had a pint with some bloke who narrowly missed-out on being in the Stone Roses. They elbowed him just before signing the Big One. Unsurprising, he was as bitter as fook.
Does that count?Comment

I was on the table next to Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews a few years ago. I was sat behind Mike Baldwin on a flight once, next to Jimmy Corkhill on a train and was almost ran over by Bryan 'detachable shoulders' Robson.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
