Stood next to Pierce Brosnan at the gents' whilst he was Bond. He couldn't get the hand drier to work. He rolled his eyes and said: "I'm supposed to be good with gadgets." https://t.co/yCB9J7yxBg

A drunk I stopped falling in the road in Edinburgh insisted on introducing me to Jasper Carrot saying repeatedly, ‘Jasper, this man just saved my life.’ I was mortified. And it was Frank Skinner. https://t.co/xpJMMTAXIX

In 1996 I was looking after the guest list for a record company showcase and Ian Broudie from the Lightning Seeds walked in. For some reason I put on a Liverpool accent to say, “all right mate?” He said, “yeah cheers”. https://t.co/GSB3GShMHi
