I met a guy called Hathaway, he once had a hit record many years ago, Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet, Jim Davison, the comedian (he is awful really, so very rude), Joe Cocker, he is really nice :wub:, Status Quo - they are brilliant, so funny (Les Battersby and Candice knew what they were doing hooking up with them! :lol: ) and lots of others as my OH is a TV cameraman and I have been lucky enough to be able to go with him to lots of his assignments. :thumbsup:

[Perdita]

Did you meet them in the course of your work? What do you do? :) Sounds interesting, if that is how you met them.

[parkerman]

I met some of them through work. I am retired now, but I worked at The British Museum for 37 years.

I was (still am!) very involved in politics and trade unions

I am also Vice Chairman of the West Cliff Theatre Trust in Clacton, which is where I met the entertainers and I used to do a bit of folk singing myself (I was half of a folk duo!)

In spite of meeting all these people through these interests, the most relevant to these boards, Ross Kemp, I met at a fete held where my wife used to work, as he was a friend of the manager and agreed to come along and open it.

Peter Ustinov I met on holiday a long time ago.

And Dermot Murnaghan I met because, as you may remember, I was on Eggheads - so I suppose I could add Judith, Kevin, Daphne, CJ and Chris to famous people I have met!

[Katy]

thats quite an impressive list there parkerman!

[Perdita]

Working at the British Museum for 37 years :eek: Well done :clap: Have you ever thought about writing a book about your time in there? I am sure it would be extremely interesting, I would certainly like to read it. :)

[Trinity]

Parkerman - it sounds like you have had an eventful life. Good on you! I agree with Perdy - you should consider writing your memoirs. You have done more in that paragraph above than many celebs who (ghost)write books.

Another interesting point - you are living your life not just reading about celebs living theirs.

[parkerman]

Working at the British Museum for 37 years :eek: Well done :clap: Have you ever thought about writing a book about your time in there? I am sure it would be extremely interesting, I would certainly like to read it. :)
Funny you should say that as I have just finished the first chapter...

Put me down for a copy too

[Bryan]

And Dermot Murnaghan I met because, as you may remember, I was on Eggheads - so I suppose I could add Judith, Kevin, Daphne, CJ and Chris to famous people I have met!

my friend would be so jealous that you've met Daphne, she's actually obssesed with Eggheads and loves Daphne, she always says she wants her to be her grandma :D

Sounds like you've had a very eventful life parkerman, as the others have said, would be interesting to read your memoirs.

[StarsOfCCTV]

Served Nick Frost in work yesterday. :D I didn't recognise him at first he had longish hair and glasses..

[Abigail]

Who is Nick Frost?

[Jessie Wallace]

Who is Nick Frost?

:eek:, oml you don't know, have you never seen him in a comedy film. He's in loads of things, such a funny guy.
Loved him in Run Fat Boy Run and Hot Fuzz

[Kirsty :]]
