Back in the late 80's, the Welsh rugby team decided to tour local clubs before heading off for a tour of canada. The idea was they would train with the locals, and have a friendly game.

They visited our club, and in the friendly game, I outjumped Bob Norster in a lineout. At the next lineout, the bar steward broke my nose with his bony elbow, I smacked him, he laughed and I thought "**** this for a game of soldiers"

Most of mine seem to involve sneaky ciggies.

Brian McFadden & I were on the same ciggie break schedule at a restaurant and after dinner, him and his missus (Delta goodrum) and me and my mates all had a drink together. They were both lovely.

Leo Sayer's girlfriend threatened to duff me up in a night club as he came over to tell me that he liked to watch me dance. Hmm.

Brian Johnson, when i told him that i thought he was a crazy mutha said, and i quote: "If you think i'm ****ing crazy now girl, wait till i ****king get you home". I did not go home with him but did continue to have a ciggie with him.

Adrian Grenier from Entourage and i chatted about the sydney nightclub scene and how to avoid paps as he had gatecrashed a private party.

Met englad rugby 7's team at breakfast, which was utterly wasted as i had a hangover. Very pleasant though Vickery was not optimistic about winning.

Other than Delta Goodrum and some of the rugby team, they are all short arses.

I played footy with madness when I was 8, it was class.

Having after-show drinkies with Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop at his house in Melbourne. He was the Aussie surgeon on the infamous Burma railway in WWII who was tortured by the Japanese but also saved the lives of many a British, Dutch and Australian soldier.

A few more.

I was sat next to David Walliams at a Morrissey concert in the Royal Albert Hall, Sean Hughes was sat two rows in front of us. Walliams wore a dodgy white suit and danced like a lemon all night. Was before Little Britain but recognised him from Rock profiles.

I once had a few drinks with some of the blokes from Jackass in a hotel in London. They invited me over because I was wearing a Smiths t-shirt apparently. Was the guy who is always playing pranks on his parents.

Oh and Steve McManaman once asked for me to be ejected from a bar because me and my mates were taking the piss out of Liverpool, luckily I was good friends witht the doorman who told him to piss off.
