Isn’t there a poster on here who has had horizontal jogging sessions with Jordan and the girl out of Transvision Vamp.
I got off a train one Friday in 1999 at Battle station and walked along the platform and over the footbridge chatting to Desmond Llewelyn aka 'Q' from the James Bond films, having found myself right by him upon getting off. I asked him if he'd seen the upcoming 'The World Is Not Enough' to which he said he hadn't and that he only had a very small role in it. I said to him that a Bond film without him in it what not be the same and he thanked me. Lovely guy. He sadly died about a month-or-so later.
Watching Pointless Celebrities reminded me that when I worked in a bank outside Worthing 15 years ago, Dave Benson Phillips was a customer.
The first time he came in, it was just me and a young girl serving. Dave is an “after my time” kids TV personality so I didn’t have a clue who he was. But he was a ball of laughs as you’d imagine and when he’d gone I said to the girl, wow, what a great guy. I then saw that she seemed to be in a kind of shock. Turned out he was her idol when growing up.
He’s one of those celebrities that’s exactly like he is on TV.
I think Ian Paisley holidayed in Arundel. I worked in a secondhand bookshop in Worthing back in the early 2000s and he would come in with the aforementioned massive minders.Dave BensonPhillips used to be a regular in my cafe , a few years ago.
Nice fella.
Another customer was the Reverend Ian Paisley . He used to holiday somewhere local and would call in occasionally for afternoon tea.
Always had a couple of wardrobe sized minders with him, but, I was surprised that he was quite small. When I’ve seen him on the telly he had always looked like a unit.

Paul McCartney apologised for his granddaughter pushing in the queue for sweets at the cinema in ashford, then found them sitting directly behind us in the film when the granddaughter kicked the back of my sons chair throughout the film, I didn’t like to complain
