This happened to my wife with Mr Tumble, who came to her school to entertain the kids and he didn't want to be there. He was a first class knob head, and he turned up stinking of alcohol.

He presumably didn't give a fuck he was all pissed up?

Bought Mark E Smith a beer before a gig, but I guess most people did that at some point in their life!

I've been for a beer with him. Top bloke. RIP

My claim to fame is standing next to Robbie Williams whilst we were both having a pee in the toilets at a Nantwich Hotel at my employers Christmas bash.

Did he say anything about him & his Monkey or how he was going to entertain you?

Looking back quite a few, some fleeting, some proper chats and a few drinks

Karl Denver ( Singer). used to drive his big American car down our street in Hulme when I was a kid as he was shagging a woman who lived around the corner.

Graham Haberfield who played Jerry Booth in Coronation street and Winston in the dustbinmen. He used to play golf at Mere. My mate sold him some golf balls and he said he'd pay him next time he saw him. A couple of days later he died of a heart attack my mate was fuming he never got his money lol.

Drank with Kevin Kennedy ( Curly) a few times in the Barleycorn when he was a pisshead. Also saw him in Charlie Brown's and Valentines in Chorlton. On the Coronation Street theme saw Vera, Denise Welsh and her husband Tim Healy ( Dennis in Auf Wiedershen Pet) in Euston station. Dev once sat adjacent to me on the train home from Euston chatted a bit, nice bloke. Bumped into Sally and Kevin Webster in Altrincham a couple of times. Years ago my sister was chosen to appear in a documentary filmed by Peter Plummer for Granada. We were all invited to the studios to watch the rough cut before it was edited and shown on TV. Coming out we saw Pat Phoenix and my sister got her autograph.

Saw Oasis and chatted to them in the bar of the Stena Fantasia when we brought them back from France, good crack. Bill Wyman was on one of the ships too with that Mandy and her sister before the scandal broke she was underage. We also carried Michael Jackson but the security around him was unreal.

Used to drink with Tony Book a few times in Tenerife every summer in the Brahms and Lists. Got to know him and his friends very well.

Was on the piss with Ronnie Biggs in Rio 1985. Nice bloke to chat to.

Forget who you drank with..... your mate was pissed off because the bloke from The Dustbin Men snuffed it before paying for some golf balls !! Post of the week winner for that alone but then for good measure, right at the end, you casually throw Ronnie Biggs in.

Bert Trautman outside Villarreal's ground, Buzzer outside Brighton's ground after our title win there, David Bowie in a bar in Skiathos and Ken the early doors landlord in Curry Cottage in Duky where he delighted in taking piss out of a couple local rags in there .

I never heard a bad word about Stuart Hall prior to his arrest. It just goes to prove that you should never trust anybody with your kids if you're not around.

Not even Barnardos ? He'll they had mine most weekends.

 

[Marklr]

I've met quite a few...on several occasions. Until they took out restraining orders.

 

[horlock_was_super]

I met a bloke earlier today looked familiar and as he was being arrested thought bit tight that because all he was doing was singing Do you wanna be in my gang? To a group of young girls.
Seems he has been recalled to prison.
