    And heard a twang in the rear , some guy was appologizing from behind .
    Saying im so sorry and trying to fix the junk old trim he poped off. With his coat snaged
    What was that ?
    My buddy joe looks in the side mirror . And says slowly nonchalantly says.
    " its Alan Alda fixing the trim on the car " tells him dont worry it was broke already.
    and goes back to eating his burger etc .
    It was Alan Alda .

    Trust me they aren't. It was the Scottish milk marketing board done as a parody of the R. Whites adverts. If you can find them I will tip my hat to you and my 20 years of trying will go out the window with it!

    Since they moved the BBC to Manchester and from what I can tell banned people from travelling 1st class I've either sat on the same row or next to on the train from Euston Will Self, Richard Bacon and Eddie Izzard, and I had a long chat with Andy Peebles who was a thoroughly engaging and nice bloke too.

    Most of the other people I've met are sports related.

    Nothing matches the guy I met who came to dig out some pampas grass for me....that very morning he'd used the very same digger to dig out a tree stump for the guy who once chauffeured the head of security for the one and only Robbie Keane. I've not washed the arm he autographed for me in the insuing 4 years and probably never will...

  16. I beg to differ.
    Campion Del Mondo, Jarama, Madrid 2009.
    Also in the event, Angel Nieto, KR Jr, Eric Saul and many, many others, also a guest appearance (not riding) by one Mr Valentino Rossi. :p


    EDIT: BTW it wasn't a race, it was a 'fast parade' for invited guests only. I only got an invite 'cos I was riding an extremely rare Spondon prototype GP bike.
     
  17. I've never met or seen anyone famous. I would probably walk straight past the queen as I pay no attention to anyone else!

    My dad had a few drinks with Bono and The Edge in Dublin.
