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?"
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.

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
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.
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 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.'
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" :(
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.
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.'
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.
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.
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 :-/

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

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"

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.

Does Yazz ever call?
ha ha
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?"
it's not a joke...
Alright, it's a joke that works one way
and isn't even a joke to begin with.
Is Jazz a coke dealer that works from your basement?
you worked for jazzy jeff?

Would you goose him?
Goose him?
I am foreign. I have no idea what goosing is?

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?!

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.'

'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.
Alex Kapranos
...
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.

Stan Bowles; about gambling, being a gangster, Man City & QPR.
This beats every other answer.
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.
