We occasionally get the odd famous face (some more that others!) visit where I work, and this morning I had the opportunity to chat with Jason Plato.

Only problem is I had no idea what to talk to him about. I'm not and avid fan of touring cars or 5th Gear which doesn't help.

How crap am I lol!

So, it got me wondering about all these people who actively look to meet the rich and famous. What do they say to them?

the CEO of Russia's largest TV station is a good friend of mine, lives here in Worthing lol, and his god daugher is Katie Melua who also visits, i got a cd signed by her for my mum hehe.

I've probably met quite a few famous ppl at his BBQ's but got no idea who they are, prob find thats the way they like it as you dont get all star-struck and can talk about everyday crap.

an old family friend is the cousin of TWR's Tom Walkinshaw. The same person was also a close personal friend of the Formula One driver Jim Clark and has the steering wheel of the car that jim died in on his wall.

Was working out in barcelona at the weekend at the Spanish GP. Saw quite a few famous people, Bernie Eccelstone, Frank Dernie, J.p. Montoya, Michael Schumacher, Keke Rosberg, Fisichella, Jackie Stewart, and loads more. It was well cool to see so many people you see on Tv and never get to meet!!!

aint she bald?


Norman Wisdom lives down the road from my house and used to give me lifts to the bus stop in his rolls every once in a while, a very nice bloke.

The only other person ive met thats semi famous was when i was having a meal at my mates house, his dad is Mr Duke Video and had a business colleague staying, I didnt find out till afterwards, but he was nando parrado of the uraguayan rugby team, whos plane crashed in the andes (the film 'Alive' was based on it).
He was a really good bloke, who i have much much respect for.
