Mike Peters' mum, long after the Alarm split up. She still had all his albums on the wall, very sweet old dear.

Er, thats it.

Except to add my name to the Ade Worman appreciation society ;)
Sian's brother is called Ian .Sian went out to the middle east escorting wealthy gents. Mike,s mum still has all his discs on her wall, she lives in Rhuddlan, was in her house last week :thumbright:

'Boz' was always very musical and so were his family, as far as I remember.
Dont remember 'Hugh' being 'the funny one' but he was popular cos his dad was the local vicar's son and they lived in the vicarage near the school which had a huge garden, so we'd often spend a couple of hours playing in the garden after school, on the way home.

Happy days..



Great story btw Jem :salute:

Oh, and I might be in Dark Shadows for a second or two, but I'll let you know next May when it comes out :roll:

Bien Sur, Monsieur! :P

I don't know anyone famous, and have not accosted anyone in TKMAXX or such like, not my bag.

Apparently I had dinner next to David Hasslehoff once at a Health resort; but I did not notice (or care....).

I said "Hello" to the Fonz, and chatted with Tom Wopat who must of been very jet-lagged or just bored (probably both).

I have been to Clint Eastwood's restaurant, but the great man was not waiting tables that day....


I got ignored by Jeremy Clarkson at Goodwood, as he does not like American Cars, and JK was too busy to have his photo taken with Julie next to the 'Bird. Ponce. Sorry - short Ponce.

That's about it.
Oh yes; I stood next to Nigel Lawson at a parking meter Milton Keynes (the bloke who' actions raised MY mortgage rate to 15%).


Unfortunately I did not have a .45 handy or a good alibi......
