Do you know a famous person and light hearted stories

[mikeymike]

To clarify my famous person - they have to be someone that the majority of people in the UK/world would know and say look that's so and so off the TV/Sportsperson/Royalty/ Musician etc.

Over the last 30 years i have known numerous (famous people) some a delight, some a real pain in the backside and some who when i have been rude to them still want to know me.

Light hearted story - 9 of us playing cards - one of the players is the nephew of my mate and is at the time a regular premier league and england player - phone goes about 11.00pm - it is one of the red tops who are going to break a story about this players gambling and drinking issues - and are asking the player if he has any comments on the story that they are about to run - no comment is the answer - we all have a quick discussion about it - and after 5 minutes the plan is hatched - another red top paper is phoned and offered the exclusive story - drinks, drugs, gambling and womanising - for which they agree to pay a nice fee -

Part of the deal is that the player has to put himself into clinic - this is agreed - my mate drives his nephew to the clinic - photos taken - goes in the front door - comes out the back door - off we all go to the races

Another little vinaigrette - in Maylasia - chilling out in the nightclub - suddenly loads of clapping - apparently the brother of the lead singer of probably the worlds best rock band, there still going - has arrived - and is hitting the freebies - i am sat in the VIP area - because i know the manager of the hotel - they bring this guy over and he introduces himself as the brother of (worlds best rock -roll band) he is chatting away - giving it the large - people in the VIP area are saying to him they will sort him out with xyz and he is lapping it up - my mate the manager says to me that it is great PR for the hotel and he has offered him a free suite - i am laughing and say to my mate the manager - bring him back over here - the bloke comes over introduces himself as the famous brother of - for about 20 minutes he is telling evrybody about his famous brother and life with the band -

Crunch time - i say to him - this is a bit strange drinking in a nightclub in Malaysia with the brother of the famous brother - only trouble is 2 weeks ago i was out with the famous brother and his non famous brother and you sir look nothing like the brother - the bloke went white as a sheet - upped sticks and disappeared - apparently he had been free-rolling round asia

Do we have to guess who the famous people are?

No as i will post some more and even though i could make a small fortune from selling these stories - and some these people i really don't like - i would never reveal there names - but a bit of detective work could give you the answers.

Been famous has its good points - but knowing famous people can be a right pain - the number of times i have been sat with famous people in a restaurant/bar or event and then gone to the loo - and people come up and say - is that so and so can you get me there autograph - introduce me etc -

Any time I use the line 'I'm GreekStein from blondepoker' it doesn't work. Tried in Singapore, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia etc which makes me question whether your stories are really true!?

Had a similar thread before......some interesting tales!

Perhaps you need to change your name to someone like - david beckham, mick jagger, eric clapton, sean connery, alex ferguson or something like that - also a bit strange as i have spent several evenings in hong kong with 2 world ranked british snooker players and there managers - all drinks and food complimentary all night -

As i said to a mate who played for MU and England when they were coming back from a tour of hong kong and the far east - and we met in the airport - he said i will see you on the plane - i said you wont because as you turn right i will be turning left

Laugh i will

Should change yours to black cat, Mikey

Possibly true - lucky by nature, lucky in life and love - but i am still crap at poker

Little story for GreekStein -

Flying back from Mexico - plane caught fire - different post -

Landed in Boston - travelling with a very senior executive of the airline who i had met a few days earlier - he says dont worry i have made some calls and private jet will take us to JFK to catch a connecting flight, just about to land at JFK plane is diverted to la guarida - anyway he sorts out transport to JFK - says he has sorted are connected flights and there is one in half an hour - i say i want a shower and freshen up and i need something to eat so i will get a later plane back to uk - he says sounds like a good idea and he will sort out flights - real nice chap

Anyway after showering and eating - he says time to go - we get on the plane and i am sitting next to a famous female actress, she asks me who i am and i say just an ordinary bloke - she says well you must be important - i say no i am just an ordinary everyday joe - and ask her why she thinks i must be important - she says that all the passengers have been told that there would be a delay in flying as certain passengers were running late - but had to be on that flight - she said they dont delay Concorde for any ordinary joe -,

Its not what you know - its who you know - right time - right place
