Fisherman Mike Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 When I was in my 20,s I had a week off work and as it was midsummer fancied a couple of pints in the local in our village (which was a bit off the beaten track but had a good reputation) I was in the Lounge bar sipping a beer and the guy next to me who was short and dark made polite conversation about the area and how beautiful it was with the river running through it and the unspoiled Cotswold Houses etc. The pub was very quite for a friday lunchtime. He was a really nice chap and I offered him a drink out of courtesy before he left, which he declined. Although obviously of eastern origin his English was impecable, dare I say it better than many of the Yokels. I went to the loo and when I came back he had gone, leaving a rather large sum of money over the bar which he said was for the pleasant young man and the Landlord to have some drinks on him. I drank free for about a fortnight before the money ran out On his departure I asked the landlord who it was. He said he didnt know but he had a very large roller in the empty car park a Chauffeur and 3 gorillas were patrolling the outskirts of the pub while he was inside. A week later I picked up a copy of the local Hedger and Ditcher and in the Sports section was his picture on a Polo Pony at Cirencester Park it was none other than Hassan al Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah.... or to you and I..... the Sultan of Brunei. Seems he was on his way to the Polo and fancied a detour and a quiet one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlistairB Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The Queen Mother - she stayed with us once Prince Charles - at a CFS bash Princess Anne and whatever her current husband is called these days - tim someone - at a Navy bash John Major - ****** Tom Cruise - my brother did his teeth Nicole Kidman - my brother did her dressers teeth John Motson - he was very drunk and tried to get a mates girlfriend into bed! (For the lawyers - apparently) Gordon Browns Uncle - lovely chap, known him for years! Gordon Ramsay - used to live in a converted school behind us - got barred from the pub for being an obnoxious ****! Timothy Dalton - knew his brother (professional photographer) well in the local pub My dad - not famous to you chaps, but known in the airfoce very well for being firm but honest - lovely old boy! Most impressive though - the president of the flying farmers association - he had more money then he knew what to do with and took us clay shooting - what a nice bloke!

welsh1 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I was one of the Queens guard of honour when she visited Brompton barracks for the Royal Engineers 200th anniversary,she stopped and looked me up and down and gave a brief smile,i was very surprised at how small she was.spent the rest of the day lining the route for her and was very hot and bored. Have had a chat with Elton John when my section flew into Heathrow after being called back from a tour of Kenya to deploy for the Gulf war,he chatted to us for about 10minutes and was a very nice bloke,the two fellas in camel coats either side of him looked like they wouldn't take any nonsense. So that is two Queens i have met beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Met John and Norma Major shopping in local Tescos with two of the biggest bodyguards you've ever seen. Chris Rea asked me if he could borrow my ciggie lighter at Donnington while watching touring cars. Almost run over Lisa Tarbuck on Holloway road when the dozy mare walked out infront of my Transit. Had a pee alongside go go go Murray Walker at a car show in the NEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
