I'd worry more about the fact that you seem to have a demonic glow to your eyes. I suggest getting exorcised posthaste.

I visited Sellafield (UK's largest nuclear plant) today with the rest of my Copeland Labour Party colleagues to greet the one and only Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, MP, Prime Minister. Looks like nuclear power is back on the agenda alright! (Yah boo sucks, Davey-boy!) As the youngest member of the constituency party, I just had to sit there and look like I wasn't going to brick the window of No. 10 - did get to speak with the PM, however.

Most famous person I've met is HRH Prince Charles. He came to open our new cafe and museum at Tywyn Wharf back in 2005. I wasn't on the official list of people he was going to meet, but myself and a fellow cleaner were on the platform at Pendre when he got out the Royal Train to 'cab' No7 Tom Rolt. So I shook his hand and ended up having a chat with him about the railway! I said he should come and do a weeks volunteering, but he hasn't come yet...
I've also met Charlie Watts, drummer of the Rolling Stones, he lives just down the road from me. And Mr Noel Edmunds, of 'Deal or No Deal' fame is a regular at the local pub where I work. Have served him many times.

I'm going to a sci-fi exhibition at the NEC tomorrow, which includes Tom Baker, Colin Baker and Nicholas Briggs from Doctor Who. There is also the cast of Red Dwarf, and Chewbacca from Star Wars, too.
If I'm lucky, I might get their autographs!

Tom Baker? Lucky you. I've met Colin Baker too, and I got his autograph. I've also met the following Doctor Who cast members (at the same event):
Sylvester McCoy Katy Manning.
I got their autographs too.

As a little chiblet, I met Christopher Awdry. I have a photograph, and an autograph in the Rev. W. Awdry collection of the Railway Series. That's pretty much it.

Nice pic's Dan! The car itself is famous! ;D ---------- Just failed to note that Simon Weston, the man who recieved serious burns in the Falklands War, was sat in the row in front of me in the Wales vs. Austrailia match. Didn't get a picture, as he was with his family (Grandson I think) at the time. For those who don't know who Simon Weston is... Here is Simon

Went to the Autosport show last month and met the following:
Autosport cartoonist Jim Bamber (asked him about his infamous sketches of ITV's Louise Goodman) F1 Racing editor Matt 'the Bish' Bishop (asked him on who would win F1 2007, he tipped Raikkonen to win & Button as best of Brits) BTCC champion & driver for Team Halfords, Matt Neal (asked him whether 2007 would be a hat-trick, he was hopeful) Vauxhall BTCC driver Tom Chilton (asked him why he led 80 miles but didn't win in 2006 and his thoughts on the new Vauxhall BTCC car, the Vectra) SEAT BTCC drivers Jason Plato & Darren Turner (Asked Darren about his 2006 BTCC highlights & Jason on his 2007 hopes as he remembered a hilarious tale from Autosport International 1997 when he signed my mag) 2006 Mitsubishi Evo Champion and 1996 British Rally champ Gwyndaf Evans (showed amazing confidence when I asked can he beat Mark Higgins in 2007? His response was a very confident YES) 2006 British 1600 champ & Shropshire lad James Wozencroft (Talked about his Super 1600 title win and the galling loss of a JWRC podium on Wales Rally GB)
Hopefully I'm off to Oulton Park in June to watch the BTCC. I might meet more drivers there.

Well, I should have brought this up earlier. 5 years ago, I went to the "Theodore Two" Ceremony. I'm sure that everyone from New York City and lives near the eastern Canadian coastline will know what I mean. It was there when I met the late Denny Doherty, the narrator of the show, "Theodore Tugboat," which was founded by Robert Cardona.
