Helly Welly Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I once served Dave Lee Travis in the gift shopp where i had a Saturday job, he commandeered me to show him round I also used to serve Nick Owen form TV-AM when i worked in a chippie, another Saturday job. My Mum has met Geri Halliwell, not long after she left the Spice girls. When i was younger David Jason rang up to speak to my Dad as Dad used to go to his house to do up old motorbikes, i answered the phone and spoke to him for a bit as my parents weren't in.. He told my Dad i was sweet! I used to see Floella Benjamin a lot when i was little which seemed really cool at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 OOOOOOOOOOO! I just remembered that when I was a baby Princess Diana visited Alcester, I was just born and she held me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad house Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just been thinking of who I have met... Rolf Harris at the Royal Vetenary Collage in Herts, Keith Chegwin coming out of Toys r us in Reading, The Queen on walkabout in Windsor, Martin Clunes at Winchester services (twice), Frank Bruno...outside his house...god he is big, invited me in to meet wife and kids but was too gob smacked to answer Ian Wright and Alma from corrie walking in London (seperatly) Paul O'grady in London. Think thats enough to be getting on with Oops don't know if this counts but a friend met Prince Charles at a party he was having at St James Palace...she had got drunk and fell over when she curtsyed...the following year she was invited again, he remembered her and asked her if she was going to do the same trick again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad house Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I wasn't sure she was telling the whole truth but her husband confirmed it...adding that it was the Princes Champers that got her drunk and that he was doing his best to hold her up The husband not the Prince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 My mother and I were invited to The Garden Party at Holyrood Palace one year, and my mother, while speaking to Prince Andrew, commented that it was such a shame he was getting divorced, but she had a rather lovely daughter (me!), whom ahd been well-brought up, and would never even consider sucking anyones toes on a beach lounger, then thrust me forward for royal approval...

Paola Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Spotted Victoria Stilwell today at Crufts! The lady from 'Its Me or the Dog!' Was Crufts good this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes and No Paola I go to see the judging of the EBTs so get there very early to do my shopping and then get a seat but as Terrier day fell at the weekend (today) and Crufts being a public show the place gets crowed in no time so all the seats were taken and the crowd round the ring was 4 deep - im a shorty so couldnt see a thing! On the plus side i got all the things i wanted for the bears and a few bits more besides - 2 fantastic collars which are a yearly treat for my two! Next year Terrier day will be on Sunday which will be busier still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Stunning Annie The EBTs were benched near the Cairns so lots of yapping but the Airedales were not far away and saw quite a few in the ring too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Aw! Molly's sister has just had 8 pups...... 3 girls and 5 boys. All the "Ooops, word censored!"es have gone..... £800! Jonnie reckons you'd have to pay somebody to take our Mol.... She's been eating manure all day, so not quite up to Crufts spec at present... What terrier won?

theherd123 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 A gorgeous wire fox terrier Annie. Unfortunately the EBTs never get into the cut I do like the Hungarian Puli and i cant wait to see the Afgans move - they just float! BTW id have your Molly - no worries and you can chook Rags in too!

Lesley Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Strange things keep happening to me - I watched Crufts this year Do you think it's my age? - or something to do with the fluff shedding, sock stealing, mud collecting mutt in the corner?

Cate in NZ Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It sounds like Jazz has an awful lot to answer for Lesley She does look simply adorable though, I love the photo of her and Carl sprawled out on the floor together (in another thread I think ).

Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Did that Victoria Stilwell manage to get round without people asking her about their problem dogs - or is she as scary as she comes over on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
