New year bank holiday two people I know were in films on tv.

Laura Burns now of Enfield Town ladies was in Bend it like Beckham and a bloke i know was seen from behind in a blonde wig being attacked by creatures in the film Labyrinth, the creatures were really his pet rottweillers dressed up and no stuntman would work with them and he was supposed to be a woman.

[Southport - TOWNER]

and have dug holes and mixed cement with Jim Chandler

 

oh yeah and some geezer @ Arsenal on the coaching staff, Pat someone is a cousin!

[Hawkeye Pierce]

My sisterinlaw was once called a fu**ing c**nt by Nigel Havers,over the phone. When he asked for an increase on his credit card. Obviously he was refused.He even utterd the imortal words "Do you know who I am"

[coupwotcoup]

How limp-wristed is that! Didn't ask you to go swimming did he?

OK here we go then. Once held court at the bar in Venner's Scribes club with Dicky Bird, Laurie Sanchez, Devon Malcolm, Todd Carty, Nick Berry and one of the Mitchell brothers hanging on my every word. A gallon of Bacardi helped the cause! An actress (daughter of a friend and who shall remain nameless) once told me that Nick Berry kept getting a cob on when they were doing a kissing scene and this took a record amount of takes for said TV series! As it happens, Nick and Todd are really good blokes, or perhaps they were being nice to me, coz I was p!ssed!

Roger Daltrey, how small is he? Michael Heseltine, how tall is he? The plonker who plays Bo Selector. There are so many darlings, I could go on for ever!

But the main claim to fame is that I used to go out with Cheryl Baker before she changed her name.

No silly jokes about her making her mind up, they have all been done before.

Oh, and Abbeynut of course <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

[Steph]

I dont mix in those sort of circles. So name dropperish.

 

But Hey!

 

Some people know me, isn't that fame enough.

 

Now where is the total comparability vortex.

[coupwotcoup]

Sounds like you have OD'd on your Farscape DVDs again!

[theabbeyabbott]

mmm coup, what are you trying to say? We laughed!

 

Met loads......

[coupwotcoup]

It was heads or tails as to whether I included you, but I thought to myself: "hey, I know his sense of humour".

Then of course, the met bit is not strictly true, is it.

[theabbeyabbott]

Strictly not! Whats on the agenda today then?

[coupwotcoup]

Not much. Cricket is getting worse by the minute, Mrs Coup has gone to Cambridge to see one of her many sisters, no. 1 son doing what most 14-year olds do on a Sunday morning...Mope around the house with a face like thunder and the one I made earlier has gone to work.

So how bad was it yesterday? Please tell all as I am sure the Townies will be chomping at the bit waiting for all the sordid details.

[theabbeyabbott]

Well are you sitting comfortably?

[Steph]

We want it from Pinnacle not you!

 

BTW I found out today that I have the same birthday as Jane Horrocks. Wife tells me she is a famous business woman.

 

I used to have the same birthday as Danny Kaye but I understand he's dead so does that count.

[theabbeyabbott]

Pinnacle didnt play, he is injured. We looked like a team that had all just met each other.

[Steph]

How long has Pinnacle been out?

 

Might explain a lot. He did keep the team together.

[theabbeyabbott]

Since er Burnham game. We badly miss his organisation and also Lee Sontag who has had an op on his knee.
