Had a wee chat with Michael Stipe from REM at The Big Day gig in Glasgow city centre, 1990 (?) when I realised who the guy walking across the town between the stages next to us was. Nice fella.

And I once got in a lift in Belfast with Christopher Biggins!

This is my favorite claim to fame.
The Campbells knew somebody who threw a bucket of water over Gregory Peck when they were filming Moby Dick !!

How cool is that ??

When I was about 14 me and my friend were staying at hers and were sitting watching telly in our PJs when Roy Wood walked in with her mom. They had been at the pub together and she'd bought him back for a coffee. She sent us to bed shortly after that.
