Michael Jackson. Not the black/white/singer/peado, this one was our binman and a right lazy twat he is too.

Spender · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:57 pm

Bit unfair like seeing as I did 16 years of festivals with all areas passes.

Phil Jupitus - Really nice bloke
Tony Benn - gaga :roll:

Billy Bragg - I have his phone number
David Coulthard - I stayed in his hotel in Monaco
Don Letts - Of Big Audio Dynamite fame
Dave Gedge - See Phil Jupitus
Pop Will Eat Itself - with the exception of Graham and Richard, but I did shag Richards missus when she was in Korova Milk Bar. :uhoh:

ADG - worth one if you're a predatory homosexual, not much of a fight if you've got kets.
Voice Of The Beehive - errmmm, wow :grin:

yeah, both. :coool:

Cult - especially Billy Duffy, lovely bloke
Keith Allen - just like he is on the telly, mental, but will give you his last can and tab.
Michael Eavis - bounder. Rude bounder at that :evil:

Dennis Skinner - gentleman
Arthur Scargill - much different to what you would expect
Lee Westwood - ordinary humble bloke who is genuinely grateful for his success.
Ted Leadbetter - if only they were all like that, even though I was only a kid.

Someone elses turn now. bbolt

In all seriousness, the one person who I met that really took me aback was Vera Lynn, a real live legend.

Do you mean about 50 in number or that they were all 'odd' on some kind of perverted way? :wink:

Mr Irrelevant · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:25 pm **Posts:** 22659

Both. There was around 50 of them and some of them were very odd indeed !
