Doesn't seem to be a problem in ED, if you're famous and someone takes a dislike to you - whether they know you or not - you've had it. So, which famous person gets your goat up? (Sounds positively rude).

Now that's recognition.

Fantastic. He can annoy the whole universe. Classic.

I went through a stage of thinking it was funny to ask famous people to give me a nosh. I met Shane Ritchie in a bar and drunkenly went over, face open and smiling and said hello. He said hello back. I asked him if he'd give me a nosh. There were quite a few encounters.


I've never asked Jimmy Nesbitt for a nosh even though he was stalking me and the wife for at least a week. He followed me round Sainsburys once picking up the same produce as me just after me. Freak! Then I caught him going through my bins. That's when I called the rozzers!

Danny Baker on the radio a few years ago, said "I met that Paul McKenna once and he couldn't hypnotise me. I remind him of that every time I go round on a Friday and wash his car." How we laughed.


James Nesbitt was on the front page of Radio Times as the Jekyll Hyde character and I remember thinking - as I stained his teeth with my coffee mug stain - that boy needs to go to my nice dentist on Forest Hill Road and get his teeth straightened.

You're right. However, one thing that was REALLY ANNOYING was the way everyone kept saying things like "End of." and other cliches with the last word taken off. It really would make you want to boke.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
