OK.

1.  I once had a video camera pointed at me in some football stadium in
Spain next to Johan Cruyff - I felt such an arse as I was dressed in an
identical striped shirt to my two brothers (younger and older, now leading
executives in Ford and Mitsubishi respectively).  I think we were supposed
to look "cute" and were told we were going on Dutch television.  I didn't
know and don't know anything about football so I probably even spelled his
name wrong.

2. I got Tom O'Connor's autograph in Upton Village on the Wirral when I
was 8.  He was opening a record shop.

3. My gay buddhist friend in Newcastle lives next door to someone from The
Bill.  We nicked a twig from her garden.

4. My girlfriend Linda saw Robin Cook with his wife in the Loon Fung
restaurant in Edinburgh.  He didn't look very happy apparently.

5. I know Peter Miller.

6. I had a chat with Patrick Moore in an observatory in La Palma, in the
Canaries.  He called me "young chap" and "my boy" a lot.  I was about 24.

7. In a pub in Dublin last year Linda and I saw Father Ted run in,
clutching a mobile phone, look round in a panic and run out.  This 30
minutes after Lucian from The Liver Birds had sat drinking at the bar. 

Now for goodness sake let's dispense with these irrelevancies and get on
with the list.

Sniff.
