Tim Armstrong from Rancid - nicest guy ever

His head is currently on my right boob. It's a great t-shirt.

I just remembered that I met the Fun Lovin' Criminals when they came to my high school for some reason in 2003 (I think?). I couldn't get too excited though since I didn't really know who they are and I had never listened to any of their music. I still haven't even to this day.

I could have met Harry, Jamie and Louise Redknapp last year but I didn't. I reckon if I met Harry I would have only wanted to talk about his Renford Rejects cameo.

Some of my friends met Jamie a few years ago when he was in Glasgow. They said he was awesome. I don't think Louise was there though.

My cousin's longterm girlfriend is a close friend of the family... it's only a matter of time tbh.

My primary school class met JK Rowling and she read us part of a book. This was like over 10 years ago though so I'm not sure if she was that famous at the time. All I remember is that the 10/11 year old me found the whole ordeal really boring at the time.

Unfair.

I saw Morten Harket from A-ha in Birmingham Airport back in 2009, does that count?

Using celebrity loosely here, but I saw Madison Rayne at the zoo once. It went something like this:

Me: *nudges friend* It's Madison Rayne.
Friend: Who?
Me: Nevermind. Let's go back and see if that monkey is still masturbating.

In my defense I don't find her as funny as animal masturbation.

ooh, a few. I'll add more later, but this one happened about 5 or 6 months ago.

I bumped into the wankingley shit British boxer Tyson Fury (literally, I think one of his nipples went up my nostril). Well anyways, I'm having a pint with my brother and point him out and my brother is all "Who is he?"

So I say, matter of factly (Or matter of 5 pints in-ly) "He's a British boxer. From a pikey family so I think his dad and uncle were bareknuckle fighters. But he is fucking shit"

My brother tensed his face a bit, I turn around and Tyson is there with his entourage looking pissed off as he was just gonna squeeze past me to get to the bar.

I smile and say "Yeah, as I was saying, He is FUCKING SHIT HOT. Great boxer!"

I make my excuses and spend the rest of the night at the other side of the room!

Speaking of boxers (although I doubt anyone has heard of him), my old PE teacher's brother was a Scottish boxer named Gary Jacobs. He would come in sometimes as a special guest for our PE class. I didn't/don't know too much about him but apparently he was a decent fighter in his day and held some titles.

I'd not heard of him but his record is very impressive.

I've only heard of 2 of his opponents though, Pernell Whitaker and Pete Eubank (Chris' elder brother).

Though looks like he knocked your dad out too.

Just quickly because I don't know where the boxing thread is, have you seen this from Tyson Fury last night?



The man is an embarrassment to the sport and to humanity in general.

I'm tired of D list boxers desperately trying to create controversy to make their crappy fights seem more interesting.

At least it wasn't as bad as Derek Chisora's antics though.
