I've served Fish (the musician, not a portion of cod & chips) in a pub.
I've been pictured on the front page of the Times Educational Supplement. (I was 10 years old, playing the recorder).
I've been quoted, completely out of context, on the front page of the Daily Telegraph. (A speech at my union's annual conference).
I've been interviewed on Radio 4, BBC Radio Sheffield (where I've also presented programmes) and BBC Radio Suffolk.
I've got highly intoxicated with both Jack Charlton and Bill Maynard.
However, as a governor of the RNLI, I have to admit that none of those rank in the same league as MK66's relationship to Henry Blogg.

I beat the lot of you. : - )
I served Harold Wilson dinner when I was head waiter at the Tregarthen's Hotel in the Scilly Isles, he gave me a �1 tip.
I served Bob Monkhouse with bottles of whiskey in his dressing room when I was head waiter at the Talk of the North in Manchester.
I served Shirley Bassey at the same venue and witnessed her effing and blinding at the band in rehearsals.
I spent a weekend with Alec Higgins in his hotel suite when he won his 2nd world championship in Sheffield in 1982 with a top jockey. Met all the players and partied many nights away.
Met and starred with Windsor Davies making a commercial for Welsh beer in my pub in London, but only played an extra, have photos to prove.
The list goes on, so when the next Q comes up who you have met, I will tell you more.
