But the recent death of Merlyn Rees, reminded me that I'd met him, not that he was particularly famous, but he was in the Labour Government of the 70's as Northern Ireland Secretary this was the height of the troubles....he lived down a cul e sac in N London, next door to a mate of mine, which meant when he was around had a small army of police and Special Branch down there...but he saw himself as an ordinary bloke so would be out cutting the lawn and cleaning the car and chatting to the neighbours etc at the weekend. All a bit surreal. Title: Famous people you have met Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, January 11, 2006, 22:15:10 A past it punk outfit from the U.S of A.
