Famous people (Non-Football) you've met face to face

[Tricky Dicky]

Thta's a shame.

I was hoping you'd be able to get me a deal on a Discovery!

Sorry about that. I'm sure I could get one of our brokers to sell you 50 million dollars worth of government bonds at cost if that's any use.

Not too impressed by her either. One of King Hussein's entourage wanted to me to go back to Jordan with him and become his "batman". I left him alone pretty quick smart after that.

Are you sure it was not his "Batty man"

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I'll get back to you.*





*I have as much chance of finding $50m as I have of actually buying a Discovery.

 

[pasty]

Are you sure it was not his "Batty man"

Quite possibly. *shudder*

Anne Widdecombe

Andrew Lloyd Webber

What was he like?

Did you manage not to stare at him?

 

[Frutos]

I was on TV once (a BBC 2 documentary, no less), which by today's standards of media obsession MUST make me famous, so if you've met me, I should be on your lists.



Seriously, I think Des Lynam and Dara O'Briain are the only (non-football) famous people I can recall having met.

When I was a law student, I worked part-time at DeWynter's, an advertising agency in Leicester Square. The company promoted West End shows. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Melvyn Bragg came to the office frequently. I had to make their coffee. ALW was pleasant. Melvyn Bragg was downright arrogant and rude.

[RexCathedra]

Then-middleweight world champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler. You'd be surprised how small middleweights actually are. I'm 6'4" and positively towered over him. He was, on the other hand, the most physicially fit man I have ever seen. Looked capable not only of tearing phone books, but phone booths, in his bare hands.

Former students include (American) football hall of famer Lawrence Taylor and basketball star James Worthy.

Met the present US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, too.
