Claims to fame

[Oldsmobile-88]

*Was a film extra in an Eddie Murphy film whilst at the New York Apple Store. Never saw the film but got ****** off because nobody could leave the store until filming had stopped

I was in NYC in 1996 walking down 5th Avenue with a mate & before we knew it we were the background shots(among many others) of the film One Fine Day,which starred Michelle Pfeiiffer i believe...

Had a beer with Malcolm Owen of the Ruts...(RIP)...Top man...What a waste.

Had a chat with Richard Fairbrass in a obscure pub in Wales & bizzarely bumped into him again at LA airport about 3 years later....Weird..

My parents were attending a private party at which Whitesnake were playing. After a couple of tracks My dad got so incensed that he asked David Coverdale to turn it down a bit.
When they continued to play at the same level, he pulled the plugs on them!

Ah yes, Nigel informed you that you could get phone signal at the top of the local church. We met exewebber Bob Wilson, who correctly had us down as a pair of drunken idiots. We managed to blag a lift home and had earlier tried and failed, somewhat miserably to break into Butlins Minehead.

On topic, I once gave Barry Norman (erstwhile presenter of the popular BBC show "Film 86" and ""Film 87" alongside a few others) directions to raddenstil Lane in Exmouth. I was on Gypsy lane myself at the time, so it was remarkably easy.
