I've picked this up from another thread, and thought I'd run with it. Actually there was mention on yet another thread about the one where a chap asks a celeb in a restaurant toilet (Sinatra, Jagger, Sting etc) to approach his table and greet him. The celeb does so and is told to "f@ck off Sinatra/Jagger?Sting can't you see I'm busy". Plainly untrue.

But what are the ones that you've heard that you thought, or wanted to think that were true.

Mine is the one about the Queen on a state visit to Ausrralia in the sixties.

She's on a meet and greet with a line of people and is doing her best to take an interest in them.

She moves along the line until she comes to one particular chap.

Elizabeth II - 'Hello, and what is it you do?'

Aussie - 'Your majesty, I'm a photographer'

Elizabeth II - 'Ah, I have a brother-in-law who's a photographer'

Aussie - 'Now that's a real coincindence your majesty, because my brother-in-law's a queen'

Told to me years ago as a true story, but though I know it's not true, I wish it was.


How about you?

Didnt that Sinatra anecdote resurface on Danny Bakers show again recently, one of the callers tried to pass it off as his own experience. Didnt fool The Radio titan for a second though.

I remember a few of the filthier ones. The contents of Marc Almonds stomach after having it pumped for instance and Marianne Faithfuls fondness for Mars Bars(prior to King Size I hasten to add. I was also Told by someone that Clint Eastwood was Stan Laurels illegitimate son...Part of me still believes that one. Its too good not too be true.

This one's lovely - Princess Anne told it herself (she told me never to namedrop but there you are). She was visiting some hospital or hospice in Australia and she was by one old guy who was miserable in his bed and she said something like "You didn't come in here to die" and HE said "No, ma'am, I came in here yesterdie" [Aussie accent].
Builders contracted to do maintanence/refurb work during the late 60's under the rides at Disney land Florida discovered a large complex of rooms and large warehouse's after knocking through a wall in a boiler room. On further inspection these rooms appearred to have alot of information regarding the launch stations of the USSR's 1st generation nuclear warheads aimed at the U.S.
The best Jimmy Sommerville story I heard was that, passionate animal rights guy that he is, on seeing a load of lobsters in a tank in a very posh Geneva restaurant, he insisted on buying the lot and released them back into the wild into Lake Geneva. Upon which they promptly died in the fresh water lake.

Surely a six foot long boa would be at least about 20cm in diameter and find it a bit difficult to squeeze through a 15cm wide u-bend on a normal toilet? Especially since it is filled with water and boas are terrestrial snakes. You?re more likely to find it in the roof, under the car or in your shed.


Anyway didn?t Marilyn Manson used to be the kid in the Wonder Years?

I like the way the article put stress on the fact that houses on the street could go for as much as ?400,000.


"I paid as much as ?400,000 for my house, you know. And I don't expect snakes in it! That's for the common houses 2 streets down, where they only pay up to ?300,000."

I trust Baker left the individual who tried to palm that one off on him feeling like a piece of cheese.

A radio clip round the ear and the directions to the Tony Blackburn show were the order of the day I trust.

But Clint and Stan Laurel, eh? Not heard that one before.

There is a slight resemblance though.

ALMOST true, but not quite...It was not the mob, but the US government, to keep the links with the Kennedy's quiet.......

I'll get me coat.

I remember back in the 80s Don Letts (film maker,then part of BAD) talking in an interview about AIDS terrorists in New York City. The story was that there was a group of HIV infected women taking revenge by picking up guys in bars and spending the night with them. In the morning the chap wakes up, women is gone, he goes to the bathroom and finds written in lipstick on the mirror 'WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF AIDS'

Six months later I was told the same story by a work colleague, only this was London based and had happened to a friend of a friend of hers.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
