Dick Hatts 1 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I met Amos from Emmerdale, in the oakleigh Lodge Social Club in Bulwell! He used to go in there quite often. I saw Bruce Welch from the Shadows in the street about 4 years ago, just coming out of Langtrys. Of course I went up to him and made a prat of myself. I vaguely recall meeting Bernie Winters when I was very small too. I think it was in the Pearsons store. I nearly forgot, I met Dave Hill from Slade and Sam Brown in Bobby Browns Cafe.

bamber 128 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ken Clarke at an ON function about twenty years ago. Made the big mistake of thinking his wife was his mother - she looked an awful lot older than him then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 My mum (in her WRVS days) had a lot to do with her as she was "Madame President" in Carlton at the same time Mrs Clarke was "Madame President "at West Bridgeford" All "Madame Presidents" went to Paris to lay flowers at the Princess Diana crash site shortly after the fateful day (All right for some eh!!)

mickety 1 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Needham lives close to to the Wheelhouse pub in Wollaton, Dave Needham's motorbike shop is on Ilkeston Road facing Triumph Road, missus grew up with the family and went to school with his sister Julie, he's in bad health at the moment according to Julie, to do with the !cheers! Not actually in Nottingham but a couple of years ago I carried out work on a barn conversion that was owned & occupied by Roy Wood (The Move, E.L.O. Wizzard) he lives in a village between Uttoxeter and Ashbourne, talk about cheek, we agreed on the price and he proceeded to knock me down twice, I quipped, 'you make a million every Christmas with that song, come on Roy' so we stuck to the price. After completion he invited me over on a Sunday for payment, he took me for a pint at the village pub and a bite to eat and he started to work again on the knock down price, I couldnt believe what he was telling me, his wife fleeced him for every penny after divorce etc etc and Sharon Osborne was controlling the monies during the Wizzard days as their manager. He still tours today with his daughters in the band. It was an honour for me to meet one of my Icons. Anyone remember when the Move played in the Marquee around 1969 on the fields near to Clifton Bridge, Prince of Wales Farm area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I was a kid my brother took me to see Cliff Richard and The Shadows at Liverpool Empire.We saw Bruce Welch over the road near St Georges Hall.My brother had got his autograph some time ago and so asked for his autograph so he could give it to me.He refused to sign and said he was "going for a cup of tea." What has that got to do with anything ! He would probably be made up if somebody asked for his autograph now.Never ever forgave him for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Riff 1 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Russell Slade was the year above me at Glaisdale. His brother Mitchell was in my year. But the best player of the lot was Trevor Morley (son of Forest's Bill Morley). He used to own the newsagent on Grassington Road, and we used to play footy with Trev. He was that good you could never got the ball off him, like a young George Best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Riff 1 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I met Billy Connolly at a cashpoint in Nottingham in the late 80s. He was in front getting money out and I made a joke about 'Thats the first time I've seen a Scotsman GETTING MONEY OUT of a cash machine'. He laughed and started telling jokes to a crowd of us. Very funny guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Riff 1 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Saw Joe Elliott of Def Leppard on Clumber Street about 4 years ago, with his girlfriend. He asked directions to a jewellers shop, and I started to get a bit star-struck and lost it. He shook my hand and said 'I'm just a lad from Sheffield you know'. Such a nice guy.

rob237 89 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 That bloke off the telly presenter for the BBCs Dragons' Den @ the base of The Angel of the North last week . Evan Davis...former BBC Senior Economics Editor, which rather infers that his career is on the slide. Has been replaced by the outrageous Robert Peston, who regularly claims numerous exclusives on the Northern Rock fiasco, the credit crunch, Black Friday, the forthcoming recession et al... comes across as being 'a few strawberries short of a full punnet', hence he is to be the major new impersonation for Rory Bremner - the ultimate accolade.
