Wainy316 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 As mentioned in the Rogues Gallery, Tony Morley tried to pull my missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Football.. erm.. our current bunch of players are nice lads, Jaap Stam seemed like a tosser, Martin O'Neill is a tosser. Most of the 'famous' people I know/meet are work related so I'll leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Bobby Ball, the absolute worst celebrity I have met, born again christian without a christian bone in his body. Peter Simon, a lovely lovely man. The grumbleweeds, all fantastic. Bobby Davro, horrible man, wouldnt trust him to be alone with a woman. Spend a lot of the 90's in the company of entertainers of this ilk. Will try and remember more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend a lot of the 90's in the company of entertainers of this ilk. Will try and remember more later. A friend of mine is a Theatre Technician, and I can confirm you are correct about Bobby Ball, and The Grumbleweeds. I've met a fair few z list Celebes through his work, and most are just normal people. Paul Daniels was a surprisingly decent chap, as I'd heard he was a t*sser. The Chuckle Brothers are an odd pair. The smaller one especially. Also I'm not sure if he counts as a celebrity, but Chico (of X Factor fame), is a bloody lovely fellow, if a little dim.

mjmooney Posted November 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2013 Anybody see Bobby Ball on Pointless Celebrities (oh, the irony) last week? Paired with Lee Mack, and trying to raise money for charities. First question - words ending in "-son". Bobby Ball's answer: "appleson". Er, no. Out they went in the first round. You could see Lee Mack looking at him in utter disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Burt Weedon, love him, stayed at the hotel where I worked for a few summer seasons. Thoroughly lovely but with a really bad custard cream habit. Keep the little 3 packs of hotel custard creams flowing and he would chat all day.

Shillzz Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Another nod for James Corden being a lovely chap. Juan Pablo was a quiet chap when I met him, but a nice guy none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Met David Bentley on a plane to Ibiza. For someone who seems like such a cocky word removed, he was actually very sound. Maybe he was just happy that someone still knew who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Don't know if this counts but my Dad met Roy Hodgson recently and basically confirmed what I thought he was like in reality that he's a really nice guy. My Dad chatted to him for about ten minutes on matters of football and Malaga, Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Had a drink or two with Erroll Brown from Hot Chocolate......nice bloke and speaks proper posh. Met Frank Carson, the Hollies and recently Prince Charles, who has a deceptive sense of humour. Saw Charlie Dimmock on the train last year and she has some fine chesticulars. Oh, and lost my old dog in Sutton Park one time, only to find him flat on his back, having his belly stroked by Graham Taylor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted November 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2013 A few more to add to the list. The Specials (minus Hall) were legendarily good fun. Passing round a bottle of rum on the bus for an airport transfer. Sgt Bob Crier off The Bill is really nice too apparently. Was staying in the same hotel as my parents in France (he was touring around with his wife on their matching Goldwings) and they changed their itinerary to take my folks out for the day. Benito Carbone was lovely too. Cracking wife as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Regards Davro, he has admitted being a swinger, so no surprise in not leaving him alone in a room with women. I once sat in a meeting with Uri Geller. The paranormal magazine I was designer of was in talks to be endorsed by him. Nice guy but total showman.
