Still not quite as bad as people who support multiple teams.

Leave L/H White alone. He's not done anything to you.

When I first started work in the Cable TV industry one of my work colleague's was Davy Lutton, former drummer from TRex. He was now a suit working for PacTel. At that time he lived in a very nice old converted farmhouse on the outskirts of Bolton near Belmont. He threw a party once and I thought great, rock & roll, drugs, mars bars and naked women. It wasn't.

I treat people like this with suspicion 

aye, he keeps an eye on the teams he played for, but no, not that interesterd

told me as a kid he liked playing rugby and lacrosse, only played football because all his mates and brothers did

Remember the early days of Gogglebox when Scarlett was on with her parents?

Well not Scarlett but her parents were in a Spoons this summer somewhere near Newcastle and got chatting to my daughters, they said it's very false and not at all what you see as the finished product, if they want you to come across a certain way they tell you how to act.

They said the only others they had ever met were the Sadikis and They themselves had only got in it on the back of Scarlett being genuinely thick when she was recruited by researchers via her agent.

nice

she does hair or nails or eyelashes or something?

Matthew Upson lives/lived in a house I designed and I also designed Liam Howlett and Natalie Appleton staircase. Also some 18 year old youtuber bought one of my houses but I have no idea who he is only that he had 7 million pounds to spare.

Have you ever noticed that when you see semi famous people or people that are well known for whatever reason, you spot them and they look at you as if to say "yeah it is me!" They often even say hi or hello or smile or wink at you as if to say thanks for clocking me.

My youngest’s ex knew the writer of the Janet and John stories on Terry Wogan’s morning radio show and asked him to include my wife in one of the stories. Sure enough, Terry read the story out one morning with her name as a character. 

Another one... I queued with Justin Currie from Del Amitri and his band in the chippy in Holmforth... I ended up with a dodgy Scottish Tenner in my change, we had a good chat though, sat on the wall outside.

Why are all my encounters to do with food?

Not a work one, as that's cheating but I did shag Jimmy Cricket's daughter.

There is no more, as the catchphrase doesn't go. And no, sadly, she didnt have L and R on her boobs.

I've been on holiday with Tony Coton.

His missus is fit, and he tells a brilliant story about Elton John being his character witness in court.
