Peter Alliss at a wedding outside the Church. I was pushing our youngest (about 18 months old) around and he commented on the quality of modern buggies!!

I refused to pull over on a country lane to let Jeremy Clarkson drive past once. I didn't realise who it was until I forced him to drive up onto the verge in his Land Rover, from which he glared down at me.

What sport does Clarkson play????

There's always one that ruins a decent, serious thread.

Ben Ikin used to be at The Balcony nightclub to in Coolangatta a fair bit. Also have seen Mick Fanning around the area.

The son of a bloke who used to mow lawns with my uncles in their landscaping business used to date Megan Gale. Unfortunately I was away when they got together for lunch.

Once caught a Jetstar flight from Wellington to Gold Coast. I got there super early and they offered to put me the exit row for free. Obviously no one paid for an exit row seat because by the time boarding was finished, there was no one else sitting in the two exit rows on my side of the plane.

The only person sitting in either of the exit rows on the left hand side of the plane was ... All Blacks legend Christian Cullen.

For 3.5 hours, I considered myself Cully's equal.

Used to play badminton at the Kelvin Hall when I was at primary school and bumped into Ally McCoist using the payphone in the main foyer.

I'm in the same airport lounge as Cully right now. We're destined to only meet at airports.
 

BoyBrumby

Englishman
Back in the day when I used to go to Highbury to watch the Arse I'd drive to Cockfosters station, park up and get the tube the rest of the way.

After watching the good guys beat Ipswich (2-0, Ljungberg double) in 2002 I was on the return underground journey with my mate Dave and we found ourselves sharing a carriage with Matty Holland, the (then) Ipswich captain and Eire international.

Still a man of the people, obvz. To such an extent he was still in his shorts! Fecking enormous thighs, more like a prop's than a footballer's.

Mick’s got a house on the beach at Tugun near the airport

Saw him coming out of the surf while I was having a coffee waiting for my wife’s delayed flight to arrive

Exciting stuff
