Who is the most famous person you have ever met?

[Danny-Boy]

The Queen, with work.
I've met quite a few down the years, my favourite was Martine McCutcheon, who had a few beers with us down the mess when I was on HMS Invincible, she's really nice.
Not so famous but a real privilege; the late Sir John Young, owner of Youngs brewery. He invited us to his brewery when it was still in Wandsworth, great day. He was a Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain, started at the age of 18. Told some amazing stories....& made great beer!

Yes it was sad when they decided to close the Ram Brewery..not sure what's happened now with the plans to redevelope it.

 

[Danny-Boy]

I've had Willie Carson, Pat Edery, Frankie Dettori and Lester Piggott in my cab countless times.

Presumably all together to save space and money (in Lester's case!)

 

[Danny-Boy]

Robert Plant & Kerry Mayo.

Shouldn't you have picked a salad Plant? For the Mayo I mean...

 

[Danny-Boy]

Tom Baker!

Yes I met him and his girl assistant from Doctor Who, alongside was an original Davros, who looked just like Ron Noades...

I've never had the pleasure of meeting any significantly famous British people. i have met and hung out with the members of No Brain, a korean pop punk band that were pretty big in korea a few years back.



I also met one of the memebrs of a korean hip hop band called 1 TYM. They were number one at the time.



Do they count?

Another week drawing to a close. In a week where I met one of the most famous politicians in my life:
Tony Benn.
I have also met Nick Clegg, and sporting wise, Lester Piggott.

How about the good people of NSC?

The two most famous in order were Robbie Williams when he first went solo, one of his first gigs was at The Event in West Street. Only about 1000 people in their, awesome gig and got to meet him backstage through a contact.

The second was Tony Blair whilst on my way to the County Ground, the day that we won the championship for the first time against Leicestershire. It was the Sunday of the start of the labour conference and whilst on the way to the ground with my young lad and his cousin saw vast amounts of security and people outside the church at the corner of Eaton Road and The drive. When we asked what all the fuss was over we were told that he was about to leave the church. So we waited outside and when he emerged, I don't know why I did it but I shouted over to him if he could sign my sons cricket bat. At that he waved us to come over to him, security guards letting us through the safety barriers and he duly shook hands with the two lads and signed the bat. Only problem was I was holding the bat when he signed it with the two lads beside me. Plenty of press there photographing and interviewing afterwards. Next day my photo's plastered on most of the major papers front pages but with the kids being so small they were omitted from the picture. Got some grief for that I tell you.
