Prof' Hawkins knows where to get a bargain or two. Even world reknown scholars need their buy one get one frees!

He had on the nicest coat I think I'd ever seen. Also, he was sat in economy, which impressed me. Turns out he was doing a gig at the Labour conference.

I went to see Jeff Green at the Edinburgh Festival a few years ago and after the show I was waiting in the foyer for my friend to come out of the toilet and I saw Eddy Izzard. When she came out of the toilet, I was like "Guess who I just saw! I just saw Eddy Izzard. How cool is that?"

She then told me that I had been sitting right next to him all through the show.

When I was at college, I knew a lad and his girl, both of whom were really big Izzard fans. They got tickets to go see him at some gig or other, and were thrilled afterwards when they managed to get back stage and meet Izzard. The fella was presumably less thrilled when Izzard and his bird started getting off with each other.

I can't believe Suzzopher met Stephen Hawking and they had a chat. I don't mean that in a 'you're lying!' way, it's just that it sounds like a viz encounter or something from Big Train, Stephen Hawking around town doing incongruous things and making small talk. What a character.

He nearly ran me over one time in Oxford, Hawkings that is, not Suzzopher.

I was walking along toward Maudlin Bridge when he came barrelling across the road in his motorised Large Hadron Collider. If I hadn't stopped he would have gone right over my foot. Naturally I followed him for a bit, then gave him a kicking, for being a clumsy know-it-all twat.

Lets see!

Tom Jones in a Bristol Nightclub
Reg from Coronation Street in a Nightclub
Shola Ama (Sang You might need somebody) who gave me a kiss

And um

They still got that fibreglass cat on top of the shopping centre? Man that thing was classy.

They certainly have.

Marvellous, it's like one man's bad taste being forced upon an entire neighbourhood. But even as I involuntarily shudder at that oversize feline, some more innocent part of me yearns for those carefree days, when I used to slouch around the house until the afternoon, then walk down to Lewisham Library and goof around on the Internet whilst attempting not to arouse the ire of the confrontational librarian assistant. Crazy days.

Loads but i dont think its anything special meeting someone famous

Yeah? Well I didn't even mention the fact I'd met Peter Stringfellow in passing - how can you say that's not special?

Oh yeah, I also saw the guy who plays Vito, the fat gay gangster from the Sopranos, when I went on the Sopranos tour in New York - the tour is rubbish, I really wouldn't recommend it unless you want to say you've seen some of New Jersey's most uninspiring sights (and Satin Dolls, the real life Bada-Bing, which is alright in a sleazy way I s'pose). Vito was charging people for autographs, the dick.

Vito was gooseberry fool in sopranos though! he was barely noticed for most of it, until his weight loss ut of the closet episodes!

A tour with Junior would be ace.

Vito didn't do the tour, he just stood near the tour bus ten minutes before we were due to depart, wearing shades and looking a bit sheepish about the fact that a significant portion of his income is now being derived by fleecing dipshit tourists for ten bucks a pop. Where's Phil Retardo when you need him, huh?
