Irving Nattress when I was a kid, Lady Di when she opened the new plating line at ISL in S/Shields and George Best at Narita Airport, Tokyo.
Could have met the Queen when she officially opened Siemens as my 30th birthday fell on the same day, but I opted to stay on nightshift as I could start celebrating 6 hours earlier that way

ok, for the nerds out there, I\'ve met both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and yes I can confirm the rumours that bill gates is not that familiar with the concept of soap or deodorant, and jobs whilst a brilliant visionary is the ultimate control freak
worked with Tom Baker & Pat Coombes when I was a bairn (anyone remember the book tower?)
done business with howard marks once
nearly came to blows with Jimmy Nail when he was filming spender (tosser), used to hang out with lemmy and filthy phil taylor when i was living in london, and a few other grand ol\' men of metal!
thoroughly nice chap award has to go to Bob Geldof, did some work for his internet company about 4 years ago. Speaks his mind but doesn\'t dump on people

Lemmy wasn\'t the world\'s greatest conversationalist, any club we\'d go to he\'d make a B-line for the fruit machine and pretty mucg stay there for the duration, but that would give rise to origin of his name when he ran out of change - \"lemmy have some change\"
