I lived in Hastings when Roger Moore lived in Eastbourne which wasn't that far away. (About 18 miles).
I was once the rear end of a pantomime horse in Cleethorpes. I spent an hour with my nose stuck up angelina jollies arse crack before she did toom raider she was the front end honest lol haha
While stood to attention on a parade with the Queen visiting, her carriage stopped to the left of me and I was in line with one of the horses and it duly shat all down my leg and onto my best bulled boots, wasnt funny at the time!
You might not have thought it funny but the Queen told me she nearly pissed herself laughing. :biggrin:
I sang to the Queen in the Royal festival Choir ( I used to be a good choir girl ) I met Tony Heart Dave prowse ( dressed as Darth Vader) picked me up as a child ). I'm trying to recall others ...
I was on Songs of Praise. That was the last time my parents were proud of me. The next time I hit the media was during a rioting frenzy in Woking, of all places. Any local bods remember the Centre Halls..?
Was on stage with ozzy during paranoid. Met a lot of different rock bands in a previous life being a roadie
Before my present occupation, I worked in the music industry as a sound recording engineer. I worked for Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. As well as recording Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox, I worked with Eric Clapton, Iron Maiden (Bruce Dickinson is also now an airline pilot), Elton John, Kate Bush, The Cure, Roxy Music, David Bowie and a few others. Channel 4 had a documentary about the studio, sort of a fly on the wall thing that ran for about nine weeks. I don't suppose anyone watched it, it was broadcast about 1:00AM ! I don't miss the industry but I do miss helping to create a finished product. I really love my present occupation but there's a sense of emptiness to it, a feeling that there is no legacy to it.
Do you know who the wife and I see a lot of socially............. Joe Longthorne. I don't care for him much myself though, he's a bit of a show off.
Had a drag race along Well Hall Rd, Eltham when it was the main route in to S London with Barry Sheene, he was in a Toyota Celica - I think, reg BS7 - I was in the girlfriends Hillman Imp ! Queued next to and chatted with Paul McCartney and Linda at the Datford tunnel. He wound down the rear window of the Merc Limo he was in when he saw me and my mate gawping, leant across Linda and said, I don't look anthing like him ! Chatted with Jamie Whitam at a trackday at Donnington park, nice guy, he was flogging of bits of old kit in a garage during the lunch break - I was suprised he didn't have more serious injuries, the tat he was try to sell ! Met Peter Gabriel regularly whilst he was rehersing/performing at The Dome for the Millenium concert - nice bloke.
I just remembered... In the late 80s I got blown a kiss when waiting at traffic lights near Marylebone.........it was Cassandra from Only Fools and Horses.........pulled up right alongside me. AL
