Met Travis Barker walking down the corridor while I went to go for a piss @ blink 182 concert.
Had a drink with a band called The Kennedy Soundtrack (Which no one on here has heard off).
Bump into Rik Mayil at a Bottom Show in bournemouth a few years back.

When I was a policeman in Hampstead early 80's asked some scruffy oink who came in with a producer to take his motorcyle helmet off in the police station.  Turns out it was Sting having been reported for speeding.  Laughed when I said I'd go public on how old he really was!

Reported an accident for Bernie Winters (Mike and Bernie Winters - Reg will remember how crap they were) outside the King William pub in Hampstead.

Once took a slide on some pristine snow in full uniform one quiet Sunday morn outside the house of Michael Foot (ex Labour leader)  only to see his wife glower as she collected the milk.  Compunded when my American wife asked her who she was when she came to collect some dry cleaning from the shop that my wife was working at.  Mind you, she also failed to recognise Babs (Robert Powells (aka Jesus) wife, ex Pans People), Jeremy Irons and, worst of all, Arthur English, because she was a real 'Are you being served' fan.

Bernie Winters has to be my favourite so far.  Was Snorbitz there?

I've also met Pritchard who lives just a few minutes away from me, top bloke.

Don't think I've met any A-list stars but some are pretty famous if you're into certain types of music.

I've met Mc Dynamite http://www.karantanija.com/images/dji/mcdynamite.jpg who's one of the best drum and bass MC's in the world and a mate of mine pulled MC Tali who did "Lyric on my lip" which went top 40 last year.

Have met the DJ High Contrast a few times who's an absolute legend, safe as fuck http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/gallery/drumbass/highcontrast/7.jpg



Jimmy Quinn coached me for football a couple of times.

A mate of mine has supported DJ Nicky Blackmarket ( http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/interviews/interview4.html ) a few times and knows him well and I've met most of the glc. Another DJ Technical Itch is my mates uncle.

you wont have heard of him but i went to school with luke portman who we discovered a month after he emigrated to australia that he was no.1 in sky magazine (the lads mag) richest british teenagers. worth £140m i think as he was due to inherit half of a fancy london borough (can't remember which). he seemed really normal.

sold richard branson a ticket for lord of the rings when working at odeon.

waved to ian atkins as i drove past the kassam on my way home from work (only a slight detour).

went to school witht the son of anne diamond (he was a little prick).

1 Hon Luke Oliver Berkeley Portman, 16
Head of family: Viscount Portman
Will inherit £850 million

Luke Portman has now turned 16, and assumes his position at the head of our list. The Portmans, through their trust, Portman Settled Estates, own about 100 acres of land north of London's Oxford Street. Based on the latest research, by London Residential Research Ltd, the value of each square foot of this holding (at £400 per square foot it runs to 4.3m sq ft) is £1.7bn. Because of the mix of leases and tenancies, which make up the estate, local estate agents suggest we take 50 per cent off the valuation to arrive at a figure of £850m.

Luke Portman's father became head of the family after the death in May of his grandfather at his Caribbean hideaway on Antigua. It is likely that he too will become the main beneficiary of the estate at an early age since his father (Viscount Portman) inherited at the age of 11 for tax reasons.
