I've met Paul Weller and a few other musos, a few footballers including once getting Sam Bartram's autograph. I had a meal with Eddie Firmani recently as well.
For you intellectual types Brendan Behan was always round our house when I was a kid.
Joanna Lumley at the Oldie of the Year awards last week. Gave me her autograph, had a brief chat then a peck on the cheek before she had to go. Lovely, lovely lady. Also, many years ago at a concert at Blackheath Rugby club(summer of '67 I think), The Kinks and Georgie Fame.
Met quite a few politicians (from both sides of the divide ranging from Tony Benn to Norman Tebbit) during my former career. Also including, when she was PM, that old trout the then 'MrsThach'. It was at the wedding reception of the daughter of my boss at the time.
Much more pleasant was being introduced to Princess Diana at an event at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
jesus and he was pissed as a fart,(robert powell met him in the piano bar in la manga nice guy loved a beer)+various footballers and actors ,gordon strachan wot atotal prick.
Thanks to various Back To Valley do's I've met Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Geoff Hurst, Alan Ball and Sir Trevor Brooking to name a few. We had John Motson down at the Bromley branch as well.
Those who know me know in my former life I rubbed shoulders with many famous people who we worked for, paul whitehouse cat deeley robert pattinson dev patel clive anderson and many more through work I had fairly close friendships with justin lee collins ricky gervais hardeep singh kohli etc.. however in my view the most famous person I sat in an office with and had the pleasure to make a mug of coffee (black with a splash as he said) for was jonny depp. He came into meet paul and charlie to ask if he could appear on the fast show, he was a top bloke and gave everyone time and it was 30 mins I don't think I will ever forget, he probably has tho he he..
Paul Simon, Frankie Howerd, Leslie Crowther, Peter Glaze, Jim Davidson, Tony Haygarth, Roger Allam, Brian Moore from show business, TV and theatre.
Didn't meet him but exchanged correspondence with Spike Milligan some years back.
Gerald Davies, John Snow, Conrad Hunte, Brian Luckhurst, "Bunny" Austin, Stuart Storey, Geoff Capes, Judy Oakes, Don Thompson, Paul Nihill from sports other than football plus various other non-international or non-olympic but highly capable sports people.
Various football personalities both Charlton and non-Charlton.

michael cane very nice
richard branson very nice
cilla black very nice
dale winton very nice
actress whos had baby called apple [cant remember her name} very nice
grace jones nice
nicholas lyndhurst very nice
graham norton just had big row with boyfriend {not shure}
Jenson Button - Lovely bloke, actually came upto me and introduced himself at a launch of Evo magazine at the Adams club. No doubt he probably tells others on his F1 drivers forums that he met 'T'
Others include Robbie Williams who was throughly pleasent after my half cut work mate began yelling abuse at him accross a bar in LA. Leo Sayer and Steve Tyler (in the lift he wasn't making love at the time) in the Sunset Marquis hotel. Natalie Imbruglia was also very nice. Lots of z list models, minor pop stars and the great and the good of the videogames through work over the years.
Probably Gary Cooper though I was only seven or eight at the time and didn't really know who he was. Have met a few names when collecting/delivering cars though:including Eric Clapton, John Surtees,& Nick Mason.
Loads of musicians, actors, models etc through work. Most famous is probably David Bowie, at a 'secret gig' at Hanover Grand, goodness knows how many years ago...(altho for younger members it might be Mark Owen, whom I've been out with several times)...
Was introduced to Richard Branson at a party a few years ago by his PR girls...I had one on each arm, he turned round to me as I was introduced and simply said "which one of these two are you shagging?" (unfortunately neither).. and then invited us all to go to dinner with him....good times :-)

Maybe the Duke of Edinburgh but what consenting adults do in private is up to them IMHO
Very funny.

I bet he got frustrated with your slow service and said 'What's goin on?'
Henry, impressed with the Brendan Behan, I take it the old man liked a refreshment?
Oh no he wasn't!!!!
Mr C from the Shamen - he bought me champers when I was celebrating my birthday in his club.
Literally bumped into Paddy "Pantsdown" Ashdown outside the Houses of Parliament, he picked me up and said sorry :-)
See you put them in order of importance : - )

Also, Christine Bleakley (Lampards bird) gave me the eye and a smile in Victoria Station last year. Cant blame her.
Testing!
