[News] The ‘Coolest’ person you ever met in the flesh?

[Worried Man Blues]

Donald Campbell was a cool man indeed, his dad however was not in the same class as Donald, as he was a pure gent. How did you get on with him?

I got him to sign my diary as I didn't expect to get a signature, he was a nice guy but I was in a queue so didn't chat! I also got the signature of a guy called Norris something to do with seat belts? Who he is I haven't a clue, signature now in some deep dusty recess in a cupboard!!

 

[AstroSloth]

Do elaborate.

Had sex with multiple underage girls, as did a lot of rockstars back then. Really grim stuff.

There were a couple of brothers Ken and Lew Norris, do you know which one it was by chance

This guy.

He's a Swede but wandering the planet all year every year. Any kind of bohemian or grassroots event and he'll be there - cooking, cleaning, repairing things, playing music, taking care of people who are too drunk, always super mega friendly (without being full of himself, which is quite common among these kinds of people) and has this almost eerie ability of showing up anywhere at any time... I've randomly met him three times abroad. Sure, he is like 2 meters tall, smokes a long arse pipe and is highly visible but still. Great guy.

Potter after retirement?

Possibly our own Sully who used to come into the restaurant (L’Escalier) where I worked as a waiter in the late 70s after most home games with his Mrs. Always made time to chat about the game with me ( a bit of an awkward teenager), was respectful of us all, always had a smile on his face and left a generous tip!

I would change that to He had, if you read the post quickly it’s not looking good.

Whilst Garry Nelson offering to buy me a cup of tea at Northbrook College was cool, breakfast with Kevin Rolland the day of the last general election was a massive consolation after Boris won. Kevin was an absolute gent and awesome company.

My wife was asked out on a date by Kevin Roland many many years ago and some years before she met me. He came over and chatted to her at a Brighton party. She happened to mention the shop where she worked/owned and a few days later he came in. She wasn’t there but he left a note which she still has.

Her name is Eileen.....isn't it?

Oh and John Noakes

Very good!

 

[Rambo]

Not me but a mate of mine bumped into Gene Wilder at a bus stop in London.

My mate looked at him and he just nodded and said ‘yes it is me’.

How cool is that.

I hope it wasn't this bloke. Only General Galtieri and Jimmy Savile missing from his funeral guest list of the greats

Oh, come on!

I ended up in Claridges having drinks with a very drunk Kiefer Sutherland, he punched me in the arm and asked me if I wanted a fight. I used to know one of his music entourage, not my normal circles.

There is a link in the name norris and record breaking, but that is about it.

Don't we all love a good old Tory.

Well he doesn't sound that cool.

If you start, where do you stop, Elvis moved Priscilla into Graceland when she was 15, Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin, I don’t really think you can single Bowie out as a nonce personally.

Was he ever convicted?

Uri Geller - once in Worthing and then later at Withdean.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

....awaits Jeremy Clarkson...

He wouldn't make my list. Absolute arse both times I've been in the same room as him. But other people, whose opinion I respect, have a lot of time for him, so maybe it's just me [emoji38]ol:
