my dad's a plastic vacuum former and he made the shoulder plates for Sly Stallone in Judge Dred (sic). He also made Jason Donovan's gold breast plate when he was in Joseph. Unfotunately he never met them, was just given measurements. I know who i'd have rather met!! (i was about 10, do the maths).

I never got to see NOFX but I did randomly meet Frenzal Rhomb in an internet cafe..


My friend once got arrested for trying to invade Luxembourg when he was 15- a feat only beaten by Hitler. ( He was actually just playing with a fake gun in a forest )

I was a guest on Dermot O'Leary's R2 show not long after it started - he's lovely but v cold hands... his show was being slated on the R2 forums at the time and don't think we helped improve it... he doesn't have listener's on now!!


I saw Glenda Jackson once but resisted the urge to go up and tell her how fab she was as Cleopatra (with M&W!) as I was working and it might not have been appropriate!

I went to pick up friend at her dentist's surgery after having a root canal and both John Cleese and Ian Dury were in the waiting room... Cleese was very twitchy and kept crossing and un-crossing his legs whilst flapping the pages of a newspaper very loudly... Dury, as you would expect, was his charming, funny, excentric self...

I've always had a soft spot for Stephen Fry because he's an utter sweetheart. He has good manners too and I'm an old fashioned girl so that goes a long way with me. Anyway, long story short, I've just received an invitation to next month's Friends for Life Dinner (Terrence Higgins Trust). Stephen hand-writes all the invitations personally. He's a seriously busy guy but he hand-writes dinner invitations! That just makes me love him even more (if that's possible).


I can't make the dinner but I'm still sending a cheque - if SF can give up his time then I can give up my money. Bless him.


I read somewhere (and I've no idea if it's true) that Michael Jackson personally signs all of his cheques in the knowledge that many of the cheques don't get presented for payment because the recipients would rather keep the autograph. Crafty or what? No idea if it's true.

Salvador Dali ditto - ' cept he used to do a doodle on the back as well - he used to have huge piss sessions in resturants with a band of flunkeys and always paid by cheque = no-one ever cashed them surprisingly


What would Salo do nowadays with the demise of the cheque? having Dalis Amex slip isnt as romantic or collectable

    • I’ve referenced it on here before but for context  https://web.archive.org/web/20221221103518/https://god.dailydot.com/bartender-kicks-out-tweets/   I think it’s relevant reading the flags thread - if you look at the people out there protesting and can’t see the problem is them being racist idiots but instead post on here calling people who point out their racist behaviour  “knob heads”   well, both the country at large and forums like this risk becoming nazi bars 
    • For reasons not worth going into, I am looking for a Jean Michel Jarre vinyl record that has Rendez Vous 4 and Magnetic Fields 2 on - so probably a greatest hits version. Cheers
    • This is my second recommendation for Leon of Electrical Initiative. He came today to fit two LED light fittings to my flat. No easy task as the wiring is about 30 years old, and the kitchen wiring was connected to the bathroom lights (for some reason). So the job was partially repairing my botched removal of the old strip-light fitting. "That's not so bad," said Leon, as he climbed his ladder and fitted a little connector and soon had the bathroom light back, then he fitted the new kitchen Lepre, and then the one in the living room. All in less than an hour. Thank you Leon!
    • We have had lots of young foxes in our street this year, very cute. We haven't been subject to them Shi**ing all over our garden as our dog owner neighbours have. They seem to be marking their territory. They were quite fond of my car roof (soft top) I boiled up some garlic and regularly spray my roof, it keeps them at bay and my car smelling like roast garlic mmmmm🫢
