tim wheeler (ash)

over breakfast (seriuosly)


Les Ferdinand

Me (Drunkenly): Les, can I have your autograph?

LF: Sure.

Me: Thanks.


Also

a long long chat with Jason Leonard (that's right, England's World Cup winning Prop) who was a director at my last company.


I had this exact conversation

with Lennox Lewis's chest.


Did you call him Les?

Brave


Burton C. Bell, Chris Fehn (Slipknot),

David Jason, Cedric Bixler-Zavala (albeit a short one), Chino Moreno


oh, and i used to know Bryan Laudrupp really well

cos he lived beside me. And Walter Smith too, cos he lives around the corner and gives out LOADS at Halloween


Justin and Colin (interior designers).

Glasgow, my step-mum and empire biscuits.

:(


my favourite celebrity conversation

was with johnathan davies, the welsh rugby midget.

we were on the golf course, playing golf. he was playing behind us. We met at one of the tees, and he asked us "hi lads, what are you up to? playing golf?"

us: "ummm, yes."


By no means the most famous, but the bestest

Me, aged 13: "Erm erm, excuse me sir, but are you in White Rose Movement?"

The guitarist with a dyed blonde streak in his hair: "Yes."

Me: "Oh, erm, thanks."

[He walks off]

Me: "WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

I'm going for -

Patricia Arquette about horses, power rangers and forests.

Keanu Reeves about daniel bedingfield and drink driving.

I AM COOOOOOOOOOL


...

Kevin Shields and Dean Wareham...also Lenny Henry who gave me a ballbustingly long lecture about "the biz". It made me want to tear my skin off.


Desmond Tutu

He was in a commercial I did for the South African elections. He made us all pray before the shoot - that was weird.
I've also spoken to Magic Johnson, he was doing an AIDS campaign and I got to throw a basketball with him.


Yes thanks

I had two hours sleep last night - it's seemingly obvious.

It's a joke that works both ways, of course

"Hi, is Jazz there?"
"Not at the moment. Who is it?"
"It's Yazz"
"Yazz for Jazz?"
"Yes, but I'm Yazz"
"Yazz, he's Jazz"
"Who's on first?"


Alright, it's a joke that works one way

and isn't even a joke to begin with.


i'm guessing

Jazz Summers?


Kylie Minogue

Getting off the Eurostar at St Pancras in March, talking about being able to take a good photo with a cameraphone...


Fat Mike and El Hefe

about jerry springer, 50 sexiest women according to the daily record, and pepsi. Good times.


^ Winner

I'm jealous!


fat mike shattered my illusions about jerry springer

apparently he knows a guy who is an actor (not the famous type) who got paid cash to be on the show and lie and stuff. He said it was all fake! Although he was also very drunk so may have been lying to me. Still fun though :D


Michael Stipe

he was very sweet, I was very drunk


so jealous


Jarvis Cocker

Mike Patton
Tony Blair (seriously)


Naim Qassem - deputy leader of Hezbollah

More of an interview than a 'conversation', mind.


Tony who?


Oh, just some guy

He used to be in a band called the Ugly Rumours.


Prince Charles

he was very pleasant as well. I was about 12 though and easily impressed..


either

David Gower or Bryan Ferry.
you decide.


neither *that* famous but both good

david cross and phil elvrum (coincidentaly a conversation about david cross)
bith pretty short


*both even


Probably Stephen Fry

We talked about how good The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy is.


Our lead singer

probbably


not quite

:)


U2?


With God

About: you

He wasn't a fan.


Jimmy Chamberlin

Had sunday dinner with shaking stevens bass player once, does that count?


Funnily and coincidentally enough...

Jonny Lee Miller, about how good the Libs were. At a Libs gig.


Jonny Lee Miller...

I am jealous.
Though if I had to meet him I am sure i would be arrested.


why?

Would you goose him?


Goose him?

I am foreign. I have no idea what goosing is?

And yes.
I had a HUGE crush on him and his faux american accent in Hackers.


He seemed a pretty cool bloke.

It was at the Rythm Factory.


Christopher Walken

We spoke for an hour about the RSC and Mike Leigh.

also...I knocked David Walliam's on his arse in Soho.


Tony Benn,

at a Stop the War demo in London back in September. The conversation was about how important it is that people keep protesting, and then moved on to the weather.

On a slightly less impressive note, I've also met Anthea Turner.


loser


I just spoke to

Bob Mills on the phone - he called in to our offices, following working at one of our award ceremonies. Think he was chasing his payment, lol.

Oi Millsy, don't you have a PA, son?!


i interviewed

Dashboard Confessional last month! FamEMOus.


I told the Queen

to fuck off.

TRUE STORY.


prince charles?

arthur lee (sort of, he didnt talk much)
erlend oye

but the best for me was pete fowler


Eric Clapton

Or Mick Jagger.

he

is quite a nice lad. came into a ye olde style pub in Nottingham wearing the Austrailian rugby shirt, at the time of some rugby world cup. we spoke about sport and booze and other lads stuff


He is

...I have had several good conversations with him...and a few crap ones.


Yeah I met him and his brother at Macbeth in Hoxton

They were out and about with Peaches. His brother was chatting to me at the bar.


the boy band 5ive

over the phone, live on the Disney Chanel. They sent me a signed box of valentines day chocolates


^winner


Sir Jimmy Saville

He was running through Roundhay Park where he lives. I was sat drinking beer and reading the paper. 'Oi Saville!' quoth I. 'Hi Lads' replied the fixer.

Cricket's own Chris Lewis, dressed as an 'npower globe'.

Me: 'Oi Clairmonte, careful you don't get too close to the electricity, it might burn your head.'

Him: 'Haha. No one calls me Clairmonte, not even my Mum!'

Me: 'I do, and so does he (points at mate), how do you feel about that?'

Cricket's own Chris Lewis departs.

My favourite ever:

To Ashley Giles, in the field, by a bloke I know:

'Gilo you fat wheelie bin! Gilo! Oi Gilo, tell Nass he's shit and bald and tell him its from Barney Scarff.'

Still laugh at that, the bloke is a weapon.


Jimmy Saville makes me :(

I watched the louie theroux episode the other day and louie opens the fridge to only find one chocolate biscuit wrapped in clingfilm, he asks jimmy why do you have this? and jimmy answers "incase I have a party" :(


Norman Fowler

Michael Moorcock.

I've been sworn at by both Jasper Carrot and siobahn (bananarama/shakespeares sister) fahey


I had a couple of beers on the Nile once

with the former prime minister of Norway.

Music related it would have to be Eddie Argos but I'm not sure that would count as a proper conversation, so next on the list would be Lupen Crook.


WHAT

WHEN WHERE WHY, WHAT DID HE SAY

I quite fancy him


Blood Arm gig, Glasgow Barfly, 2005

I said...."so are you producing the new stuff"; he said "no, i'm going to be producing some of The Cribs new demos as Edwyn Collins isn't too well". We continued chatting about Heston Blumanthel amongst other things for 5-10 mins.

justin lee collins

our local waitrose-
me: 'i always see you buying eggs'
him:'i like eggs'

thats been my favourite ever


True

Though I'd ask him about Carlisle. Specifically a stoey I heard about him showing up fror training in a builders van carrying his kit in a Presto bag and announced 'I got pissed last night and ended up in Harrogate.'


Depending on where you stand in pop culture

either David Gedge or John Kettley.


Both of these at once

would actually be the best thing ever. Just imagine it.


Rhys Ifans...

Asked me for a light when I was walking back from Primrose hill one evening.

A few months later I saw him outside The Enterprise and he asked me ,again, if I had a light.
I clearly must have some sort of sign posted somewhere only Rhys can see.


alex ferguson

gwyneth paltrow
rachel stevens
shaun ryder


Geraldine McEwan

on Ladbroke Grove in Notting Hill, London. She and her sister had just arrived at her sister's flat, in a mini - an old type mini not one of those awful new ones. (I was staying at my then girlfriend's sister's flat - next door.) According to my then girlfriend, Geraldine was checking me out during the conversation - I was younger then.


James Dean Bradfield

I cornered him in a london 'indie-disco' when i was pissed and grilled him about Richey (who was in hospital at the time). He was shy but responsive. I had mega self-loathing the next day :-/
