Very nice bloke indeed. He inevitably played Brains and I was Gordon Tracey. Since the budget didn't stretch to flooding the stage, Gordon just sat around drinking and complaining he didn't get to go on any missions. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=27#post-182186 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 09:05:14 +0000 MADJEZ 182186@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think this story's Apostryphal ! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=27#post-182170 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:29:13 +0000 Arthur 182170@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The apostrophe's are correct.

It had a hole in a corner of the sleeve and I was put off by that, but some hippy sort of geezer with long blond curly hair explained that he'd drilled the hole himself so as to make it a second and, therefore, exempt from import duty, which was why it was cheap.</p> <p>The poncy looking hippy geezer was, I realised much later, Richard Branson.</p> <p>Fortunately for him, the record was OK. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=26#post-181572 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:50:52 +0000 grottymonty 181572@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Many years ago, I filed for a CCJ against the Preston-based plumbing firm owned and run by Sir Tom Finney. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=26#post-181448 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:44:50 +0000 Ironduke 181448@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Olympic 400m runner (rtd) Ewan Thomas was stood on St Mary's pier on the Isles of Scilly with some camera and production crew. He was dressed casually and appeared to be chatting contentedly and amenably. We were on the higher deck of the Meridian, an inter-island ferry boat, and the weather was jolly nice.</p> <p>I don't mean to sterotype, but there were five crew, one tall slightly overbearing smart-casual older chappie who I pencilled in as the director; two shorter chaps (one with a slight paunch and the other with a jaunty cap)who were stood close to the camera and recording equipment, and I presumed them to be on the technical side. There was a rather attractive young lady, without make-up, in skinny jeans with an artistic air who was part of the jolly throng, and I allocated the continuity/creative role, and unfortunately a combination of prolonged leering at Miss Totty and the departure of our boat meant I wasn't able to precisely analyse and categorize the final member of the party.</p> <p>Is that the sort of thing you're after? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=26#post-181444 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:47:45 +0000 sillybugger 181444@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I once stayed at Germaine Greers house and met her parrot.I read later that the parrot flew away.

On one occasion, in the breakfast queue (I told you it was the Soviet era) they thought they saw the back of someone's head who might have been Elizabeth Taylor.</p> <p>I suggested that they should casually drop into their subsequent conversation with friends some phrases like "As I was saying to Elizabeth Taylor during breakfast in Leningrad the other week ..." but they declined, probably feeling that do do so would be (1) posing (2) untruthful.</p> <p>(Sigh.
