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.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
