This brings a tear to my eye, Paul Chuckle brother of Barry Chuckle has been caught speeding in Donny at the exact same camera that I got caught a few years back , this is the closest thing I have ever been to fame, it's makes me feel so proud What's yours http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...t-caught-speeding-along-Great-North-Road.html http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/628582/Chuckle-Brothers-Paul-Elliott-speeding
During bob-a-job week I washed Frank Carson's car at his house, then helped clear out Brian London's garage who lived around the corner from Frank... We are called the Vegas of the north for a reason! ()
Gordon Ramsay was throwing stuff while i was working in his kitchen ,I Have had tea with Paul young and lulu ,I've met Katy the Oxo lady .
Met Kevin Schwantz at a charity race , shook his hand and told him it was `his year` for the 500cc world championship .... Bugger me - he only did it !! I like to think i played a major supporting role in his terrific achievement
I had a hug off Zeo Ball for holding her coat in the gay club at Glastonbury 2 years ago This year i had a hug off of ruby wax in the same place.
I fitted a washing machine for Les Dawson's widow in Lytham, Mick Miller is a warring next door neighbour to a friend of mine in poulton-le-fylde & Roy Walker goes to visit quite regularly. I had my photo taken with most of the Liverpool team on Manchester airport circa 1978 while my Dad chatted to Peter Beardsly (only John Aldridge looked up from his paper for the pic!) And finally Mrs ST's little brother once knocked Stephen Hendry (or maybe it was Steve Davis? one of them anyway) in the nuts with one of those long bags with xmas wrapping paper in! Still makes me laugh! Looking back I am virtually famous myself!! Edit: It was Steve Davis who got assaulted with the wrapping paper
Got presented with a footy medal by Tony Book when I was a kid, played 5aside regularly with Gordon Hill, played in a charity match against Man City old boys Asa Hartford, Paul Power, Peter Barnes and Les Battersby from corra was in nets for them, we drew 6-6 The real Colin McRae stood on my son's foot when we were trying to get his autograph and I met Aled Jones at my brother in laws wedding!
Oh forgot a couple- Colin Hendry drove past me on his way home through Preston (I have a signed Blackburn Rovers shirt of his from the year they won the league). Once served David Moyes (when he was Preston manager) with a pint of Guiness at a local rugby club I worked at for a short time. He had 2 pints & was yellow snowed! Tight arse paid with coppers! Sean Gregan got his todger out in a different pub I worked in & said to the pot bellied landlord "what do you think of that, Dave?" "It's like a D*** only smaller" came the reply! This still makes me chuckle too as Gregan is a proper tool! Used to see Sir Tom Finney regularly, He also once spoke at a sunday league award presentation where I got him to sign a football - He was a real gentleman & a true legend!
I got beat up for impersonating Joe Strummer. We were only seperated by a flimsy curtain when I was painting Kelly Brooks bedroom and she was in the bath.
My uncle lived in the same street as a bloke who used to be a pen pal of a guy in America who was killed in a terrible car crash on I5 and was then taken to the very same morgue where the dead 2nd cousin once removed of BUZZ ALDRIN was also laid to rest just 15 years earlier.
I went for pint or three with Robbie Coltrane.. Just him and me, he paid which was nice ... I often wonder if he remembers and tells his actor buddies he went for a couple of pints with a bloke from Dundee at a Pub in Forfar? Its a long story but a common thread... His car had broken down and I stopped to help and got it going ( faulty automatic gear box inhibitor switch ) wonder if he remembers the details ... Back in the mid 80s I was working night shift and stopped at a petrol station on the a90 on the outskitrst of Dundee.. A stretch limo pulls up and a blonde bloke get out and goes in the garage, I was having a look around the motor and chatted up no lesser a babe than Mis Kylie Minouge.. Had a bit of a laugh before I had her autograph and a peck on the cheek ... then Jason come back and the car took off.. bet she wishes she took me up on my offer of marriage now eh.... My mate in Kirrie is the nephew of the old fella who ue=sde to do the lawson sausages adverts on the telly in the 70s and his mate is a friend of Debbie Harry... Im working on that one ... I also sold a ca to a fella who acted on a tv programme called Roughnecks, proper load of old coblers, had a couple of seasons then fizzled out thank god... wonder if he still has that car ? ( powder blue Triumph Vitesse ) Just remembered I was at a mates house who used to deal with importing hot rod parts and project cars, he had a wee job to do and asked me to answer the phone if it rang and note who called ... A bloke called Paul Young phoned ... we had a chat about hot rod parts and hot rods in general and other stuff.. A wee while later my mate returned and I gave him the list of callers, I had a laugh about the call from Paul Young and asked if it was the Pop Star.. Turns out it was ... he run a 1950s Ford F100 pickup truck.... And if your into the wee Dundee band called "The View" I was served in a local pub by the fella who played "The Don" in one of there music vids...
Lastly - My mate & I went for a feed after a club one night to an Italian, the only other people in there were the 1980's snooker player Kirk Stevens & what looked like his manager. It was quite soon after he was exposed for taking cocaine. We were both making overly noisy sniffing noises & overly loudly saying "Big nose" every 5 minutes. Oh the joys of being young, drunk & foolish! Needless to say they paid up & left............ Do I feel bad? No I don't think I do! Disclaimer: This does not come close to the chuckle brother post!
I said hello to David Platt in Wilmslow the other day - then realised that I didn't know him - just recognised him
