My mate went and shook his hand but I've always found inflicting yourself on someone you don't know a bit weird!

Nobody really mega famous.A lot of footballers lived in my village over the years coz Newcastle United own houses there.Brian Johnson from ACDC but he's my grandfathers nephew so that doesn't really count.Oh I met Michael Barrymore once when he was recording My kind Of People at the Metro Centre.He wasn't my kind of person 
Bjork, I've met in Tower Records. In orange, she was picking her nose. wearing orange, she is wicked.
Roni Size, at Glastonbury, his skin was very pale. Hes tiny, a bit shy, very nice.
Gotten drunk with Pete Doherty.(I met Pete at his old house by Mount Pleasant telephone boxes, it was very nice and not a junkie squat at all, that was in 2005). He is a bit all over the place, but very polite and sweet to his fans with time for everyone, hes a good laugh too. Kinda snippey though, a notorious Jaggeresque trait so i would say Pete is a bit of a social butterfly, yes. Every woman there looked like she was in love with him.
Also had a few drinks with Shane Magowan who is a legend but a bit of a bastard actually, a bit elitest i think, and a flirt too.
Bez from the Bondays. Gotten completely caned a few times with Bez, he comes back to my mates houses when he is in Brixton, although he books himself into hotels in town, he gets wrecked with us sometimes instead. He is very childlike, sweet, a bit mental but dead cool and quite loving. He really loves his kids, and his gf is ace too. She trusts me with him cos she knows i dont go near anyone elses bloke, and there are people fawning all over Bez a bit, tbh.
Bez told me that from observing me at parties I am just as much of a wild party animal as he was at the height of his fame, also that I am a 'character' just like him - which really flattered me, as i am very asexual and more of a creature in social surroundings. Not an object of desire/ conquest. Interesting.

cheesys bez post just reminded me that joel gion from the brian jonestown massacre gave me a cigarette once. their gig at the academy was cancelled so they ended up playing a set in the little bar next door (big hands, anyones whos been to manchester will know it). my friend was absolutely off her trolly and couldnt stand up so joel sat outside with us for a bit, had a chat and a smoke and ate marmite.
brilliant brilliant night.

oh i also had a spliff with the manics at reading festival when i was 14. they were trying to shag us i think but we were too young to realise.
i had the drummer from the stereophonics in my gaf a few months ago. One of my birds was seeing him and they came to my house late. He was utterly forgettable and dead boring.
er....i actually snogged one of the Bros brothers a few years ago in the Hendon Way tack of tack nightclub. It was the drummer one, Luke, the one who did panto. He was actually pretty good looking in the flesh, very blond always a bit skinnier than his brother, lol

My friend briefly gushed at him before quickly making his exit - Mr Morris was very polite but my friend didn't hang around long enough to make a fool of himself and be in need of "the slap down"

He was the last famous bod that I crossed paths with, unsurprisingly in a pub in Hampstead. The only surprise was it is was a gay bar.Cheesypoof said:

At The Rainbow in LA about 10 years ago, I was colossally pissed and saw Lemmy in a booth. I stumbled over and sat down uninvited.Mr Retro said:
"Oi Lemmy mate, Lem", I slurred, "How you doing? You got any speed Lem?"
"Fuck off out of it son", he replied.
I still look back with fondness on those happy seconds we spent together.
(Earlier in the evening in The Coach & Horses, my brother spied Tim Roth, lurched over to him and shouted "You're Made In Britain!". We were asked to leave soon after

Mr Retro said:A friend met Shaun Ryder a good few years ago.
Went over and conversation went:
"Hiya Shaun, I'm a big fan so I had to come over and say hello"
"Alrigh mate, ya got any coke"
"No, sorry"
"Well fuck off then"
Yeah I've done a couple of gigs with him as well and thats about him wrapped up. Bez aint much better - well paranoid man.

You've just reminded me of when I saw Simon Amstell (my hero)
He walked past me and I said (in a breathy, high pitched voice) "Siiiimon Aaaamstell!"
He kept walking
