I was in a Titty bar in Calgary minding my own business (Like you do), a pissed up Hippy started chatting to me because I was English, We ended up on a monumental piss up all night and the rest of the Day at the famous Calgary stampede where I had arranged to meet some mates. First thing my mates said when we staggered up to them was "Fuck me where did Lemmy come from" ?? I shit you not unbeknown to me it was Lemmy from Motorhead, It wasn't until I looked at his pork pie on his face that I recognised him !!!!!
Oh come on, seriously, how can you not recognise his voice, the boat race - you must have been seriously arseholed :)
Famous people must fucking run away from me as all my claims to fame are really crap -
My grandma's cousin was Joe Corrigan's Mum, and I shook his hand at a Junior Blues meeting at the Unicorn Hotel in Alty (it all goes downhill from here)
Our kid used to get on the same bus as Jonny Marr, I think he went to the same school - St Augustines which turned into St John Plessington - can anyone confirm?
I sold a radio to an Emmerdale actress when I worked as a salesman at Comet in Leeds - didn't know it until one of the admin girls told me - forgot her name now. Sold a big Philips telly and video recorder in rosewood cabinet to Crawford Ashley the boxer - nice guy, got a (comparatively) good commission for that one.
Went to see the Uk Subs this year in Leeds, and was sat having a quiet pint next to the merchandise table at the end, when Charlie Harper came over and did an old person walking fart sequence - parp, parp, parp with every step whilst he was approaching the girl selling his gubbins - he did not bat an eye nor give a fuck :)
