Nosy Parkers. I've sent Sylvia the whole thing because I happened to have her email address. ;)

Very impressive, LK. ;)

Six degrees, anyone?

My former co-vivant the cokehead from Texas once lived with a lady named Ginny in Austin.
Ginny had been married to Jay. Jay was a bit of a lad.
Jay had had a fling with ........................... Koo Stark.

And we know whose spit that gets me swapping w/in 6 degrees!

I went to school with Richard Madeley well he was a couple of years older.
I also used to sit next to a boy who then played for Arsenal.
Also the group 5 star went to my school after I left
Also rumors Ronnie O'sullivan the snooker player went there aswell
shame it was a rubbish school

ja...x

That's quite a list - my only claim to fame is talking to Monty Don at Chelsea Flower. Show - he is lovely - a real kind man
Saw Tim Henman - the tennis player - in Macdonald at Gatwick airport - I think we had coffee - he had 2 big Mac s


That's my lot

My schools were even more rubbish than that.

Out of 4 not a one of them produced anyone famous,or even remotely famous.

I did get a lift when hitch hiking once from John Noakes of Blue Peter fame and had to sit in the back next to Skip the collie as he was being chauffer driven.
What a nice man making his chauffer stop for me.

But it was in the middle of nowhere in Wales,so he prob felt sorry for me.

I got to ask what I had always wanted to ask

Why did you not keep Shep?
He said that the program makers decreed it was not" his" dog so retired it to a farm somewhere.
He was most upset about it.
Should be too,if Shep wasnt "his"dog he certainly wasnt some other persons.

So that is why he got Skip.
Said it helped,but it still wasnt Shep..

Ooo Edits.
Tim Henman,,,,,you reminded me Renes.
He came in my betting shop and put a bet on one day when he was playing at Queens as its next door to where I was.

Bed.
Night

I also made Joan Collins run back in the 1970s

It was in the days when you had to go into banks to change travellers cheques on holiday in Crete.
She pushed infront of me and I looked over her shoulder and read her passport, about to take a photo of her looking rough and she run out the back

ja...x

edit - I liked Shep

People I have served

Edwin Starr in the Bank I worked for

Freddie Trueman and Graham Gooch in a pub

cooked a meal for Steven Saunders an ex ready steady cook chef in the pub I ran

Also lived opposite Nassar Hussian ex England cricket captain

ja...x


night Fans

Not met her yet but one of my friends on FB has a daughter who won a reality show

ahem, yes, fine, but the question I put on the table was: people you have swapped spit with, w/in 6 degrees!

I get Mick and Prince Andy, I believe.

The same co-vivant used to sleep on Stevie Ray Vaughn's floor, but not *with* him, so that gets me nada.

No spit swapping with any of them, did play kiss chase with the footballer but we were only 10 at the time

ja...x

The only tie in to greatness I have, other than a cousin who was a headmaster at Bishop Cleeve, is that I went to school with a guy named Martyn Lewis whom I believe went on to some sort of a broadcasting career in UK. A picture of him in 1958 is on the internet.

Robert

Bit childish deleting all those threads.

Expect a name change next then.

ja...x

Did you go to school in Ulster Robert? if thats the man you meant he was a British newsreader

ja...x

Jax one and the same

Robert

Thanks to everyone for all the information

I shall keep watch tonight!


OH went to the same school as William Roache .... of Coronation Street fame.

WR stayed on at school for an extra 1 or 2 terms to kill time before doing his National Service. Those were OH's first terms in the school


He says that WR was really nice, and very pleasant to the "littlies".

I think WR would have been 18, and OH was 13.



OH was chased down a street in Liverpool in the early 60s ............ Gerry of the Pacemakers was in panto, and this group of girls thought OH was Gerry

They chased him all the way to the train station


OH says he had never run so fast as he did then with a pack of screaming girls after him!


He did have a slight look of Gerry :))



but those are my only claims to fame


Like FBG ..... I don't think my school produced anyone famous ...... but it wasn't a rubbish school

At least, it wasn't ......... until it became a comprehensive

All my famous ones were at primary school...none at senior that I know of.
I love Gerry and the pacemakers seen them a couple of times not in their hay day though once about 20 years ago and again 4 years ago still sounds the same.

ja...x

I also loved Gerry and the pacemakers


actually preferred them to the Beatles!


I did go to the Cavern in Liverpool a couple of times in my very early days there ...... and it's possible that the Beatles were playing, but it was just about the time that they were starting, and well before they were famous. So they were just the house band!

I live with a scouser so my only knowledge of "up north" is Liverpool. I have been a couple of times in the last few years once to take daughter to see her beloved Anfield (Liverpool football ground) and to visit the Cavern club, well the outside of it. We went to Albert dock and I was shocked to see a statue of Billy Fury who is another one of my favourites.
I think I should have been born at least 10 years earlier than I was seeing as most of the music I like is from the early to mid 60s.
Frankie Valli is another one I like seen him 3 times plus saw the show Jersey Boys about the group, I must say it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Never been into the beatles only liked their early stuff if ex put it on
ja...x

it's the Beatles early stuff that I like, if I like any of it!

The later stuff really leaves me cold


I have to admit that I did go to see at least one of their movies, A Hard Day's Night


and also at least one of Cliff Richards, Summer Holiday



I was in digs in Liverpool about 1963, and the family had a 15 or 16 year old daughter ...... she loved the Beatles and Cliff Richard


and I was inveigled into going with her to see those films ........... otherwise her mum wouldn't have let her go


My good deeds of the year!

Dusts off crumbs, clears throat........thank you very much Sylvs.



I was at school in Liverpool when Beatlemania was beginning. Some of the girls in my class used to bunk off school to go and chase the group. When I started work, I was in the city centre near the Pier Head and used to pass the Cavern in my lunch hour regularly. Back then I preferred Cliff Richard.....now I think I prefer the Beatles!!


William Roach was interviewed the other day - it was Corrie's 50th anniversary. Used to love it but haven't watched for years. Sad thing is, I remember walking along a road in Liverpool wondering what this 'new' television programme was going to be like.....arghh.


Grey, wet and miserable today and that's just me......lol




Hey ho. Off to deliver OH to do his helping out bit and I'll shimmy round Tesco's meantime.
