Encounters with famous or infamous people

A friend of mine met David Beckham recently. He took his grandson over to meet him and get his autograph. DB spent about 20 minutes chatting with him and getting photo's with the young kid.

My mate said he was an absolute top man.

Never drop names, people don't like you for it.

Chauffered the Pope in the popemobile made by Leyland in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
 
Met most off the antiques experts on TV including David Dickinson who I had great delight in calling a tw4t to his face & he so deserved it. Adam Partridge is calling to my house tomorrow to value my 'better stuff'. Met Germaine Greer who is really lovely & not what I was expecting.

I have been on TV a few times when the camera's were filming at my auction house, so a few of you who have met me may wish to put my name down:lol-053::lol-053: I had my 15 minutes of fame, but just like the queen, my poo stinks the same as any one else's.

Many years ago – 1993, I was at the top of the Hintertux glacier in Austria.

Needing a pee, as you do in these situations, I found myself sharing a urinal with a member "no pun intended", of the Slovenian ski team.

Unfortunately I could not practise my fluent Slovenian on him as he was still wearing his skis so stood 3 feet behind me.

Stood at the bar in what was my local pub lounge eating peanuts when a young girl.. about 4/5 yrs came and stood next to me and proceeded to watch each peanut from bag to mouth in what appeared an almost starving way, so i offered her one, at this point a voice from a table in the corner stated " your obviously feeling generous, i`ll have a pint!". It was Martin Clunes. He was sat with his wife, family and dogs all awaiting their lunch order....he did buy a round too... nice bloke!

Oddly, none of them wanted my autograph.
