btb Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 My family used to live beneath '80's Disco Diva Kelly Marie. We voted for her when she appeared on Opportunity Knocks. I've seen her smalls (& they weren't that small). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrybritton9 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Was in the same BB as Alex Ferguson and made Ian Durrant look good in the Bellahouston Academy football team. Got photographed with the Proclaimers in Intercontiental Hotel in Muscat. My mate Robert used to belt Ian Durrant as he was(and still is) a teacher at Bellahouston Academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister Jag Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Went to the same school as Ian Brady (should I own up to that?) and used to sit beside Jerry Sadowitz at school (found him quite shy and full of card tricks!). David Livingstone is a relative on my mum's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled AusJag Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Shared the players tunnel with Mark Bosnich and Terry Veneables in 1997. I was going off after officiating in a curtain raising game, and Bosnich was lining up waiting to go on. Also sat beside George Hannah (ex Jags Physio) at an after match meal when he played in the Australian National league in 1992 Edited April 16, 2013 by Exiled AusJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 My mate played in a rock band with John Gordon-Sinclair. I have met several prog rock stars - e.g. most members of Yes, David Gilmour and Peter Gabriel. A former colleague worked for Wakeman as his keyboard technician. A couple of former Eastenders actors live near me and I often see them in the local shops. I bumped into David Thewlis of Shameless at my local railway station recently. I bumped into Ilie Nastase and Walter Smith in Mayfair. Smith was manager of Rangers at the time and had a big European game two days later.

The Devil's Point Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 When I was beaten up in Govanhill a few years ago I was rescued by one of the actors from the Dear Green Place (the tall one, can't remember his name). He was totally brilliant about it and offered to be a witness etc and called me the next day to check I was ok. Have also met loads of famous politicians, but my proudest moment in politics was being called a "wee b******" by George Galloway on Hyndland Road.

Don't think I can beat TDP but Des O'Connor used to go out with my mother's sister who was dancer at the Glasgow Empire back in the day (she's in her 70's and is still dancing on some kind of pro-circuit for aged ballroom dancers in America and Canada).

Graemei Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 When you say "saw" do you mean you used to go out with her, or do you just mean you literally saw her once? I have a friend who once taught one of her children at school. Apparently Carol is as every bit a MILF in real life as you might think. Ah just saw this and realised how it came across. I was just taking the piss really, thinking of the crappest celeb related story I could think of... Spotted her at Glasgow airport a good few years ago. Have many other crap stories. Used to live next door to Charlie Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsterdam jag Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Once spilt beer over the feet of some lassie at an Ash gig in Paradiso in Amsterdam - turned out it was Helena Christensen, the danish supermodel. Very nice lady and she even shared her "funny ciggie" with me later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Another true story that I had forgotten. When I lived in central London, I had a few drinks with George Best in Cafe Rouge - a great bloke who just loved football. Rodney Marsh, who lived round the corner, joined us. He and George were a double act for sportsmen's dinners etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
