Re: Lame to Fame 2021
I was invited to spearmint rhino by David Sullivan and spent an evening there on a table of famous pornstars. At one point one of the girls asked me for money and I told her to F off. Cut a long story short I got threatened by Sullivan and then taken round the back by the bouncers for a slap.

I flew on Concorde from New York to London with only 2 other passengers. One of them was Angela Lansbury. Was in a school play with both Tamsin Outhwaite and Louise Lombard. Trinity Woodford.

I was once asked to join a team pitching for the Spearmint Rhino account.

Re: Lame to Fame 2021
Walked past Liam Gallagher in Camden a few years back, didn't recognise him but liked his shades, a moment later my son in law said he had just seen him, realized who it was.
In reverse, whilst repping I knocked on an office door for a record company. The door opened, some of the Moody Blues were inside, they said "hi Pete (my name), come inside", Turns out they were expecting another guy called Pete. No harm done, we had a chat, then they said it was time to "go now"
Many years ago I was introduced to Henry Kelly from Game for a laugh" and Classic FM in a pub. This guy, on tv the effervescent presenter didn't say a dicky bird. Was I embarrassed?

Oh yeah & in 1967 I got Sir Alf's autograph on Cardiff Station & in the train got Geoff Hurst & Martin Peter's autograph. But in those days I was a real football fan.

Re: Lame to Fame 2021
During the winter 1981/82, nearly every Friday evening, I used to serve dinner to the Pools Panel, who used to meet at the Waldorf Hotel on the Friday evening and then hang around on Saturday in a meeting room to see if they were needed to divine a result of any postponed matches. They were a nice bunch, but quite unruly and loud in the restaurant.
I also once served Anthony Blunt, the spy.

Re: Lame to Fame 2021
I was checking into virgin upper class in LA and Ed China was behind me, being a petrol head we had a proper good chat and to be fair he was proper nice geezer as well. We could see everyone looking at us and when we came out he was mobbed by brits wanting a picture or autograph. The geezer is huge must be 6ft 9” Wheeler Dealers has never been the same since he left.

Re: Lame to Fame 2021
The company I was working for was doing a deal with Paul Weller and the marketing manager knowing I’m a fan said bring something in for him to sign and I’ll introduce you. Anyway I’ve got an album with me and I get brought down to meet him. He was as cool as you like just exuding coolness. Anyway he talks to me and we talk music and he duly signs the album. I was on cloud nine meeting one of my boyhood hero’s and realising he is as nice as I thought he’d be. To take it one step further he offers me tickets for a gig he was going to be doing at the roundhouse, he says I’ll sort it with your colleague.
The day arrives and I turn up with wife and go to the doors as instructed by work and give them my name, I get the old your names not down your not coming in. Everyone in the queue is looking at me thinking oh yeah that old chestnut. I make a call and a few minutes later a lady arrives and calls my name out and says I’m so sorry you are down on Paul’s personal guest list so please accept my apologies and please come with me. Now everyone’s looking at me thinking jammy sod! The gig was great and he is a god of music!

On New Years Ever 2011, at a house party, I played an acoustic guitar whilst Lucy Jones, who famously got the boot from x-factor instead of Jedward, and more recently a quite successful west end stage career, sang.
