I used to work in a popular gallery in the West End. I once directed Alan Rickman to the gallery's bookshop. On another occasion, I was in the foyer when a lady who collected prints was talking to the receptionist. She turned out to be Gene Hackman's wife. He was lurking in the background trying to remain inconspicuous.

[HonaloochieB]

AJM, I trust you enquired whether or not he had picked his feet in Poughkeepsie.

[giggirl]

Did you know how to spell that Hooch or did you Google it? Tell the truth and shame the devil?

To be honest, I am, or was, quite intimidated by celebrity. So much so that I passed up a chance to chat to Pete Townsend at an event organised by the same gallery. Mind you, I did say hello to Dennis Healey once as we passed in the doorway to the gallery and he gave me a cheery hello in response.

[HonaloochieB]

Hand on heart Giggi no googling.

AJM, I used to unsuccessfully stalk Pete Townsend, their Ramport studio was in the road I lived in in Battersea, and I would always buzz the intercom when I was passing in the small hours.

I would get various replies when enquiring as to whether PT was on the premises ranging from 'f*ck off' to one amiable cove inviting me in to share a share a beer on a few occasions.

According to him Pete was a 'right moody sod', so perhaps better all round this excitable fanboy didn't get to meet him.

1. A friend of mine used to be Jenny Agutter's housekeeper.

2. Have sat either next to (or very close to) Sandy Gall on a plane 3 times.

3. Have sat right behind Felicity Kendal at the theatre.

4. Bumped into Heather Mills in John Lewis.

5. Bumped into Susan Hampshire at a theatre bar.

6. Sat next to Aswad at Warsaw Airport, and then sat behind them on plane.

[HonaloochieB]

LM, on the 'plane, did Aswad turn around?

If so what did you say to them?

[Ladymuck]

Yes HB - on the plane to Poland. Unfortunately, we didn't speak but I was well chuffed to receive a beautiful smile from lead singer Brinsley Forde as he got up to go to the loo! Their tune Warrior Charge is one of my all time favourites!

[waynetta]

He used to be in the double deckers. :)

[Ladymuck]

The buses?

Tune!!!!!

[waynetta]

It was a kids TV programme in the late seventies where a bunch of kids hung out on a double decker bus. I was pretty young at the time but I do vagulely remember it and remember they were always saying he used to be in it when Aswad was played on the radio.

[Ladymuck]

Ribbitt!

[Ladymuck]

Damn - cross post...Ribbitt in response to JL's post.

Thanks for that Waynetta...my parents did not have a TV while I lived with them...I had not heard of that programme. I might even google it now.

[TillieTrotter]

Honna, your comment went right over her head!

[HonaloochieB]

Keep it quiet TT, I've placed a penny on LM's head, it'll drop soon enough.

[Ladymuck]

Oh Gawd - pea brain here!

Nope...I haven't twigged whatever it is I am supposed to twig...oh dear...

Clues?:-$

[Alec John Moore]

Jenny Agutter lives down the road from my kid's school in Camberwell so I sometimes see her after I've dropped the kids off. A few doors away lives Justin Webb of Radio 4's The Today Programme. Is this the closest thing our 'hood has to Stella Street?

Incidentally, I shared a bus with John Sessions going up Dog Kennel Hill a couple of years ago.

[Jah Lush]

Tut tut Ladymuck, it was a very big hit for them too.

[Ladymuck]

Ting! Did you hear that? The sound of that penny finally dropping.

For you all

Thanks for the tip Jah.

LOL!!!
