As the title suggests. Mine are...
Chris Collins, Blue Peter and general celeb gardener is a good friend of mine...we both took our horticultural apprenticeships together on Brighton parks.
Paul Sturgess is another gardener who i worked with at Rentokil Tropical Plants....he had his own TV show called plant doctors back in the 90's
Im good friends with Mark Chadwick, lead singer with The Levellers. We used to look after his daughter and i still have the occasional pint with him in town.
I know and have played football with quite a few ex Brighton footballers.
I used to look after the plants at Andrew Lloyd Webbers house in London. Met him several times.
I was in the same class as Wendy James at school....she of Transvision Vamp fame

I've had dinner with Edward Kennedy Snr and Ted Kennedy Jnr and my sister works occasionally for Chris Hughes (Chris Merrick one of Adam Ant's drummers) cataloging his father's art work. She is not a groupie and never has any good gossip!
OH and I were on a cruise with Judith Chalmers (we were on honeymoon - she was on holiday not working!)
Neil Buchanan from Art Attack was in school working with the children in the summer term. We had TV cameras and crew all over the place!
OH has met lots and lots of folk but that's because of his line of work.

Can't top Amber  No, can't top that! as a postie, and reserve at that. I get moved around several offices and get to see where famous people live. Oh, I know where the Grimes twins 'live', when they're in Ireland. They get a ton of post every day. And Mr. Walsh. FULL of cctv cameras! Several journalists, the main 6pm newsreader, a Senator. yeah, quite a few. When I was living in America, I met yer man from lethal weapon, what's his name....jeeez... Well, when I say 'met', I was in the same room as him at a presentation...doesn't technically count, I suppose. Danny Glover. |

When I worked in London I met a load of famous people through my work. I was on the plane from london to Belfast with Paul Young and got terribly starr struck. ;D Had a backstage pass to have a drink and my pic taken with Cris De Burg years ago after I'd been at one of his concerts. |

I'd love to have met Chris de Burgh LG!
I got Phillip Scholfield's autograph after we went to see Joseph and the boys got The Chuckle Brothers autographs after we went to one of their shows!
We were on an internal flight in The States and I got chatting to a guy from Iowa. He said I wouldn't know anything about Iowa but I said I did as it was where Bill Bryson comes from. He then said he was his brother. I was so excited until he said he was only joking!

Met whole of Middlesborough FC, MUFC (twice... I'm a city fan  ), Richard Whitely, Denise Welch and Tim Healy, Paul Gascoigne (thankfully I didn't see him naked, unlike the porter who I sent along with the room service drink he'd ordered!), The Sri Lankan Cricket Team, Mickey Thomas, Gordon Lorenz, and that really ugly footballer who was around in the 80's... ;D Seen, posh spice, Hale and Pace, Bob Carolgees and Spit the Dog, Ronan Keating... Probably loads more but I don't really take an interest. Can't say I was impressed by any of the ones I met either. Richard Whitely and Denise Welch were nice and polite. Richard Whitely was wasting his time trying to be humorous with my colleague and I at 5am though lol |
