Oooh Oooh Oooh I also once sold a typewriter to Sarah Potter, who played cricket for England. She is also the daughter of Dennis Potter the writer.
I asked her out, but she said no. I was sober at the time if memory serves though.

Had there ever been an instance where you didn’t ask a woman out you just met? :)

I grew up in Failsworth and used to knock about as a kid with Mani (stone roses), Darren Wharton (thin lizzy) and Simon Wright (AC/DC).

Several years back our daughters' babysitter's mum was the actress who played Raquel on Only Fools and Horses.

Met Richard egdhill in co-op car park in failsworth, he said we'd stay up.

Walked past George Clooney getting interviewed in Tribeca.

Had a chat with Bobby Davro.

My cousin was working out of Ernst Young in NYC for a couple years.

His team leader was dating Scarlett Johansson.

I'm sorry, but that's just impressive.

My sister's friends cousin is Karl Pilkington and he calls Bullshit.

It's Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Peter Richardson.


At least lie properly by spelling their names correctly.

LOL I put John Richardson first, then thought it's Alan (but that's another cricketer I lied about playing against ;)). That Richardson bloke anyway

Played in the same school team as Roger Palmer.
Worked with Jim Glennie for a while.
A group of us used to have a post match pint with Paul Power at Rusholme Conservative Club (what a nice bloke).
Shared a dinner table with Franny Lee at a charity golf day (also a decent bloke).
Embarrassing as it may be, Keith Harris was a cousin of some sort (2nd/3rd whatever).

I used to run one of A-ha's website/ forum and got a few free tickets to gigs plus had a few beers with them all over the years.
