Via this bastard<\/a>, and because I haven’t posted in a couple of days, a meme – eight random things about me. Rather than being random, however, I’ve decided to make it a celebrity special. So there.<\/p>\n

1) I once got told off by the blond one out of Birds of a Feather<\/a> for chatting up her daughter, who was apparently then seven years my junior, and decidedly illegal.<\/p>\n

2) I once stood next to Jonathan Frakes<\/a> of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame while at a urinal, and I’m pretty certain he thought I was checking out his equipment. (His phaser was not set to stun…)<\/p>\n

3) Again urinal-related – I once approached Barry Norman<\/a> in a gents to ask him a favour. He thought I was coming on to him. (And looked vaguely flattered…)<\/p>\n

4) I’ve seen Bob Dylan<\/a> play live while stoned out of my skull – the ultimate 60s experience. He was shit.<\/p>\n

5) I went to both school and university with Chris Martin<\/a> of Coldpay fame. He – despite the fact that everyone seems to hate him – is an alright bloke. His brother, on the other hand…<\/p>\n

6) I once deliberately tried to cripple* Jeremy Irons<\/a>‘ son while his dad was watching. (It was the year he’d tried to kill John McClane<\/a> – what do you expect?<\/p>\n

7) Christopher Lee<\/a> once asked me to do him a favour, because he was trying to get a job on a film and reckoned I might be able to help him out.<\/p>\n

8) I was once bought a Banana Dachary by John Simm<\/a> of Doctor Who fame while getting pissed up in a gay bar with the cast of Queer as Folk<\/a>. And I’m not gay. Well, maybe a bit…**<\/p>\n

And a bonus one, just because I’m feeling nice: Patrick Stewart<\/a> once told me, in no uncertain terms, to fuck off.***<\/p>\n

* Note to Mr Policeman – not really, just to hurt a bit. Honest.
\n** Where IS that a quote from? I always forget…
\n*** Despite this and the Commander Riker cock-viewing experience, I am not a Trekkie. Honest.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
