The nicest celebrity you've met?

I see from April's Wikipedia entry,that the honourable John Prescott gets a mention- but that's our John for you, always helping an ex British sea man er woman er person er whatever !...




"In 2005, after the passage of the Gender Recognition Act 2004, Ashley was finally legally recognised as a female and issued with a new birth certificate. The then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott who knew Ashley from the 1950s, helped her with the procedure."


Presumably they mean he helped her with the new birth certificate and not the actual surgical procedure ?..:eek:.but then that's our JP for you,one just never knows.....

Gulliver;)

(I just hope I haven't opened the way for inappropriate comments now....Lord knows that was not my intention !.....:rolleyes: )

i forgot a couple. joe brown who i met and had drinks with a couple of times a nice bloke. shakey stevens a bit superior.i also met giant haystacks and big daddy at a party. alf

Mine was Sir Robert Menzies, the the Australian Prime Minister at the time , it was on " Oronsay " 1963.
On Turning too one morning at 0600 he was walking alone along A Deck he stopped to ask who we were and then were we enjoying being in the navy. To two 16 year old deck boys it was a big thing. :)

Just a thought Brian could you buy a narrow-boat call it the Queen Mary and run it along the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal after all if the once great Cunard Line don't want an English ship with the name on the Stern then it must be available for others to use

What a good idea Rob.
trouble is I may find a load of asylum seekers on board stowing away thinking I am going somewhere good.
Cheers
Brian

Just put a notice on the gangway

You should have an empty ship outward bound, mind you (another of those phrases) you will be overloaded on the return voyage.

When i was jumping the broomstick with an old flame ,We used to babysit Craig Phillips the first winner of The Big Brother Show. His Mother Brenda, Used to babysit for my mother, Me and my now wife were the last people to talk to his father Les the night he was killed out walking his bulldog. Craig is a great lad from Seaforth Liverpool. A few years ago xmas day he pulled up at the top of my road and shouted me we had a chat for a little while he was driving a brand new 4 wheel drive. His sister Bev lived in the next grove to me,He visited her xmas morning on his way out he said come on Bev run me home in your new car the keys were left with her for the 4 wheeler great lad deserves all that comes his way. He wont mind me saying his dear mother is in the late stages of alzheimers very sad. Regards all Terry.
