    Princess Diana turned up unexpectedly at a friend's father's funeral.

    Has a piss next to Ronnie Wood in a pub in Richmond.

    Had many beers with many ex-Premier League stars in a dodgy bar in Kuala Lumpur, including Sasa Ilic.

    Played pool with Craig Charles.

    Had Thailand's top (only???) reggae star, Job2Do, stay at my guesthouse.

    Was in the Woolwich Tesco today and Steve from Masterchef was there getting some chillies.
    He had headphones on so I touched his arm and said well done mate.
    Bless him he blushed and said thanks.

    Used to deliver papers to their house on Blackheath when I was a kid.

    Also reminds me that when I worked part time in a supermarket at Blackheath Standard, Stephen Lewis from On the Buses was a regular shopper.

    Hardly a celebrity, but I saw that low life Kelvin Mackenzie having dinner in our hotel last night. I managed to resist the temptation to enquire as to how his search for alternative employment was progressing.

    Not really a celebrity, but my club used to book an hour in the weights room of a gym in Walton on Thames. Levi Belfield and his body building mate would train there and be reluctant to leave when our session started, trying to pick a fight. One of our guys was always late, but he was 6'2" and 16 stone, his size, but been around. The coward soon scarpered.

    On an aside, his mate Ricky was a shoe in as the accomplice in the Milly Dowler murder, one to subdue her and one to drive the van. Can't believe the police haven't done more.

    Was presented with the £10 prize for winning the village fete skittles by Theresa May.
    The bloke running the skittles had already paid me out. I wouldn't trust the tories to run the economy on that basis.

    Surprised to see Prince Harry in the toilets in The Princess of Wales in Blackheath last night.

    Thinking about it this morning, it may have just been a bloke with a Prince Harry mask on.
