Back in 81 I met Prince Philip when he came to our factory,he comented on my name when he asked.Also knew the mighty Steve Hislop,he was at a party hosted by a freind Ian Newton who won the NW200 3 times,and was the soul British GP rider in 91-92.We got talken and he bought me a pint.Then that same year(early nineties)me and my cousin were at the TT and we went to the presentation evening,there was Hizzy collecting his trophy and 10 mins later he came over to us coz he recognised us and chatted and showed us the silver.We felt so humbled.Also know Wolsey Coulter,he also won the NW200 a couple of times and was good mates with Newt and Hizzy.Wolsey later went on to marry my cousins ex wife.
OH! also was on the telly with richard and judy when they used to do a programe called flying start,a competition to find a company who is coming up with new ideas .They came to our factory and interviewed the lads me being one of them.We came 2nd in the comp and recieved 10 grand to go towards the buisness.

Also I have met David Hasselhoff, I was doing a road sfaety for kids on pushbikes at school, and he was pushing the drive too, we were both on the news, he really is an ugly bastard LOL![:o)]
Apparently I’m now related to Eddie Grundy of The Archers radio program thru my wife. She’s his cousin.
Met Joe Pasquali 2 weeks ago. And he does talk like that in real life!
Bloody hell, I need to meet another celeb quickly so I can have a bit more street cred. Digger, can you give your old mate Prince Philip a call for me?

Back in 1989, my am-dram club was invited to Elstre studios to act as extras for a schools programm called “this years model”, all about a bird who was prepared to almost anything to become a model.. well the scene was a nightclub doing a wet t-shirt competition and I was sat next to the lead character – the actress was Jenny Jay, who had been in Bread a few years earlier, we sat chatting for quite a bit in between takes.
Also when I worked overseas I used to take film crews around for filming the holiday destinations, I’ve been used and shown on both the Sky travel shop and Thomas Cook Tv.
