I used to work with a famous athlete's sister in Lewes. It got mentioned once or twice.
Start on Lucretia My Reflection and go from thereNot exactly the same but...
When I was living at a student housing in Lund, I had a friend who worked at the music venue "Mejeriet" only a 5-10 minute walk away.
We had an agreement where I'd provide drugs and a place to chill to the artists. My friend was massively uncomfortable with drugs and that kind of stuff and we agreed to never talk about it (though admittely it has happened a few times when talking old memories).
At the time I had no idea who any of the people were as it was two years when I was 100% engaged in doing and selling drugs. You could have put Elvis in my room and I'd be too stoned to give a f***.
In retrospect it turns out I had a bunch of Swedish B celebrities over. My friends best memory from those days was bringing Sisters of Mercy to my room, which was locked, and then me screaming "leave me the f*** alone and take your band with you!".
No idea why I was so moody, but embarrassing to him as he was a fan (I've never heard them) + had told them to stay with me for half an hour while he sorted their taxi to the airport.
Only meet the guy maybe twice a year and in the first few years we didn't bring any of it up as he didnt want to - no mentions of celebrities, drugs, Mejeriet or my room - but now we usually share a few laughs about it despite me having like zero memories from all these Saturday nights.
That's interesting, I sometimes wonder how I would be if I found myself in the presence of someone I really, really admired. I don't mean just oh look it's Timmy Mallet, but actually spending time with them.
I remember reading an interview with Steve Coogan, whose work I love, and he was talking about working with the Monty Python crew once. He said he spent a lot of time quoting bits of python at them, being a massive fan obviously. Funny to think of stars being fans themselves and doing stuff they might find a bit annoying to their heroes.
“Lovely stuff”, not my words @ManOfSussexMy best man’s wife used to go out with the son of Mike ‘Shakin’ Stevens’ Barrett.
In that case, I reckon I know your best man then.My best man’s wife used to go out with the son of Mike ‘Shakin’ Stevens’ Barrett.
