Bill Odie picking up a CD I dropped in HMV's Oxford Street store...

My mum said Freddie Mercury helped her get me and my baby sis off a plane in the early 80s but I have no memory of that.

I was in gulf news standing behind Norman Wisdom when he visited for the first expat show a few years ago in Emirates Towers.

Other than that I think only my drinking and occasional success with the opposite sex makes me a person of renown...

Peter Andre 'loved' my hat at the DWC many years ago, sat at the next table to Rod Stewart and his wife and kids at the DWC desert BBQ one year, sat across the aisle from Gary Rhodes on a plane once, Alex Fergason (sp) said 'hiya, how you doing' to me outside JBH a few years ago.

Just reading a book called Hellraisers - about Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed, Richard Burton and Richard Harris. Their drinking sessions are legendary, well worth a read.

I dated the sister of a bloke in a famous UK pop group.

Lived across the road from Anthony Daly who is famous in Ireland (nice bloke actually).

Interesting comments...........

(Correction - she wasn't famous then - but she was within a year of.... er.... dumping me)

My dad was a footballer back in the day, so I got to hang out with the England 1966 football team. He was also friends with the late, great and charming George Best who used to come to Dubai with the late Bobby Moore some years ago.

George often used to disappear and we'd find him having a 'kick-around' with the local kids in the street. I also met the Pele who is charming. When I met Muhammed Ali he was in the early stage of Parkinsons so wasn't as sharp as he had been. I met Frankie Dettori in the gym at the Sheraton in Abu Dhabi.

I met Wilfred Thesiger in Abu Dhabi when his books were being published by Motivate.

Manfred Man was our neighbour when I was a kid and lived in London and my friend's Dad was an actor. Alfie Bass used to go to the same restaurant as my grandparents who lived in Elstree near the film studios.

They used to have Intercon playhouses in Dubai and I met Geoffrey Palmer and Derek Nimmo, and I also met Bob Geldof when he came over for the film festival a couple of years ago.

I met Sheikh Mohammed in the lift in Emirates Towers and he was very friendly and chatty.
