As well as my heroes, I've bumped into a few other people who are semi well-known. So here is a way of getting any name-dropping out of the way. I didn't see anyone famous when I wandered down the main street in Waitara!
Now that I have a camera built into my mobile phone, perhaps next time I meet a celebrity I might be able to capture a photo.
Where is my piccy? |
Helen Clark | The Prime Minister of New Zealand. She came to London to get a few tips from Austin Mitchell and the "Labour" party here. |
Barbara Windsor RIP | Actress from the Carry-on films, and Eastenders. She opened a Sunday Market in Croydon. Known for her friendship with the Kray gangsters in the 1960s. | |
Dog | Actor from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, a heist movie set in London. He was "protecting" Barbara Windsor. | |
Peter Tatchell | Gay rights activist, who attempted to make a citizen's arrest of Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe in 1999. This caused some consternation. I had a quick chat to him in G.A.Y. | |
Sorry, no pix! |
Dr. George Carey | The Archbishop of Canterbury. He's not a great fan of Peter Tatchell, since the latter interrupted the former's Easter service. |
Sorry, no pix! |
Julian Clary | Camp TV Comedian, who I bumped into in 79CXR one day. Cherry-pie and Jordan were nervous about talking to him! |
Sorry, no pix! |
Peter Stringfellow RIP | A nightclub owner who gets on TV. I just saw him walking past in the street. He doesn't let fat women into his club. I went in there with Fergus, who soon lost me! |
Sorry, no pix! |
Steven Hawking RIP | Smart physicist in a wheelchair. I saw him at Heathrow, getting onto my plane (he was in First Class of course). Learning he was giving a lecture at Berkley, I went to see him - he was great, with a dry sense of humour. |
Sorry, no pix! |
Peter Snow | Tall brainy presenter for the BBC. I saw him on the tube once, and got him to sign a book on quantum physics. He has great fun at elections with the "Swingometer". |
