He's a rugby player ,

My Father was one of but a few close advisors [and good friend] to Lao General Vang Pao back in the day.....

I was once on stage with Jimi Hendrix....... (and it wasnt Top of the Pops)

Who's Jimmy White?

Once walked past the Nana Hotel where it is rumored Jimmy White has been known to have a beer...

Janis Joplin grabbed my ass backstage in 1967, and gave me a drink out of her flask.

Did the act include a dog?

No, it was a concert.

Why no mention of the time you drank with Sir Jimmy Saville ?

Anyway here's my claim to shame

I've met John Barnes, Andy Cole, Paul Parker, Jason McAteer and some Spurs player I forget the name of, down Soi Cowboy.

I've washed Cyrille Regis' car, also that tight [at][at][at][at] Robin Cambpell, also the guy with the green eyes out of UB40 and I smoked Astro's spliff while jetwashing his XJ6 convertible. Oh and Bomber out of Auf Wiedersehn Pet, washed his motor too.

I watched the biggest bank theft in Australia take place and did nothing...

^
Was it on the tv .

Who are John Barnes, Andy Cole, Paul Parker, Jason McAteer, Cyrille Regis and Robin Cam?

Never drank with him, met him in a restaurant once and bumped into him many times when I had holiday jobs as a porter at Leeds General Infirmary.

I did once have a drink with Ginger Baker though - 'ows about that then!

Long as he is not hanging outside in the car park that's ok.

That's scarey. If you bumped into him, then why didn't you meet him?

i went to the same school as Hannah from S Club 7.

Hannah Spearritt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and the same college as Myleene Klass from..uh...Hear Say

I screamed a song with Impaled Nazarene, then again with Cannibal Corpse after climbing on stage, May 1996, aged 16 on a family holiday in Spain.

Good timing having a family holiday coincide with death and black metal fest.

First time I've heard it called a flask. What do I know, I would have been 13 at the time.

I was only 18. I also had a few drinks with Chuck Norris one night in Manila back around 91 when he was shooting a movie here. Also had a drink or two with Van Damme and his parents at his trailer when he was shooting a movie in Bangkok circa 93.
