Is that taken at The Crucible?

Looks like she’s eyeing up that easy pink.

Very good for a Halloween Monday morning. Fangs for making me chuckle.

You don’t have a ghost of a chance keeping it up all week though.

A few years back, I met these blokes when out fishing. Invited me back for a bite which was OK… bit meagre food to be honest… was going all right, but then they started going on this blokes dad… I left shortly after. Some days later, some geezer called Judas stitched him up apparently… The JC guy went on to be more famous after he was killed and started some cult

Restraint? Or simply the consequence of a man having other priorities? Toward the end of my TSW days, I remember Phil developing an interest in the specific substances that the writers of TV shows are using to generate ideas.

Perhaps that what Phil does now. Perhaps he has a catalogue matching stars to substance. Perhaps he’ll finally confirm what we’ve all suspected all along; Ant and Dec are high on drain cleaner in every single show they do.

If I’m wrong and Phil is in fact, sweating in a corner, perhaps in restraints of his own design, keeping away from the keyboard - then yes, a badge is indeed merited. If I’m right, I’ll consider crafting an even better badge if he can tell me what the fuck Katie Hopkins is on.

Some generational ones, if I may be vicarious.

Juvenile Unit #1 has met Jeremy Corbyn at Young Labour thing. There’s one particularly amusing shot where it looks like she is looking up at him in a kind of awe.

My cousin presently decides what the band Little Mix wear. He’s their stylist. Not everyone was happy with his raunchy upgrades.

unionhotel was doing a job down at TVS and was in the bogs when Chris Peacock (a.k.a. Crispy Cock) wanders in. The old man asks “so this is where all the big nobs hang out, is it?”

Cato.

Was this you and Cobham??

OK

Went to scholl with Tanita Tikaram

Nearly got run down by Jack Hargreaves in the country lanes near Blandford Camp

Served Chris Tarrant when I was on the tills at the Safeway in Blandford.

Was at the Saints’s end of season awards dinner and was sat on the same table as McGoldrick, Blackstock and Cranie. Rod Bransgrove and a guy called Spider were also sat on the table. Sat talking cricket to Spider and Bransgrove for ages, someone then had to point out that Spider’s real name is Alan Mulally!!

Oh, I also had a conversation in French with Olivier Bernard and Jelle van Damme at the same meal.

Was drinking at the White Star in Oxford Stree after a match once, the missus had been shopping and came to meet me. The Hampshire cricket team turned up to celebrate winning the semi-final of the one day competition that day. Kevin Pietersen was there so I got my missus to get the team to sign my Saints match program. She went up to KP, got his autograph and said “You played really well today” to which he replied “Thanks but I wasn’t in the team!!”

Lolz. In the UAE possession of substances is an automatic 4 year Jail term. Here in the UAE possession includes being in your blood stream, so no, nobody would be doing that shit from down here. Have a car crash 3 weeks after a trip to Arnhem? 4 years off work…

One day, I’d like to pose some questions about the Olympics and people who did not travel (due to the threat of the Zika Virus).

Or why no Investigative Journalist has ever done an in depth undercover of the Oregon Project. But those are best asked off line when I finally get to see a game at SMS & you guys buy me lunch again

On the Celeb side, I’m kinda keeping my powder dry :lou_eyes_to_sky: so to speak, as I am being stitched up for a return Photo bomb due to Saints getting beaten at Old Trafford earlier this season.

Literally bumped into Jack Nicholson once in Soho Square

Worked with Ed Balls. Given his dancing he was a surprisingly good footballer

Had a drunken evening with Justine Greening (look - I didn’t know she was a Tory MP right?)

Only Saints player I’ve chatted to is Michael Svensson (players lounge at the Stadium of Light, 1-1 draw in about 2007. Bale scored for us) Very nice guy.

Fowllyd and I went to school with Colin Firth (not sure if that counts as he wasn’t famous then. Obviously)

Gutted that I didn’t make the list of either being at BP at the same time (Ok I was in 6th form but …) or as a famous celeb attending BP at the same time. :confused:

SO5 only knew Colin Firth because he (SO5) did a third year in the sixth form, on account of being far too thick to manage a few simple ‘A’ levels in two years. Otherwise, like you, he’d have left before Colin Firth started there. As I’m so much younger than either of you old fuckers, I was in the second year sixth at the time.

Colin Firth was a decent bloke as I recall - long-haired and denim-clad like most of us were at the time. You can see him in this photo, front row with a walking stick hooked round his neck. Couldn’t insert the photo as the proportions went mental and everybody looked about twenty feet tall.

Was this you and Cobham??

I knew the Blonde Bloke (Lance Bowie? memory brainfart)) he was a bit of a hit with the girls but looks like he may have batted for both sides!!

Steady on there cheeky :lou_is_a_flirt:

I’ll admit to a similar hair style back in the day though, but had much better fashion sense (take note Bletch).

Jeff Minter, of Llamasoft fame, turned up at my house once with korruptor and a cohort of other pals after doing a deal in Liverpool. I think it might have been the one where they agreed that he’d do the 360’s visualiser effects.

ms pap was clearly not as awestruck as I was. The lot of them were trollied. She complained bitterly about the bog floor after some poor aiming skills from the bearded wonder.

My pleas that you could not hold gaming legends to the same standards fell on deaf ears.

The C_S family regularly used to see Max Clifford in Cafe Aroma in Cobham.

He seemed like a nice friendly guy…oh, wait…

:lou_facepalm_2:

My mate (that let me & Mrs D_P Glamp at his gaff for Glasto) bought his house from whoever the geezer was that developed Grand Theft Auto.

There, you now have my entire knowledge of gaming in one post

Keep patting Mrs C_S on the bum did he?

Once caught the ball in the crowd away at Villa. Threw it back to Neil Moss if memory serves. It was the game that Claus got sent off in - again, if memory serves.

Seeing Prutton above reminded me that I chatted with him at a Doves gig at the Guildhall many years back. He was wearing a scarf (fashion, not colours) inside which was tres chic then.

I’ve done my MLT story to death already. Had a kick about with him when I was 11.

MLT is my uncle

I got Matt to sign my “Matt scores the last goal at the Dell” t shirt outside Villa Park before the 2003 Semi-final. Also chatted to him in the queue at our local Post Office…he lives in our village…often see him trudging up Botley Road trying to keep fit. We say “Yo buddy” to each other.
