Once in a long cue waiting ages to buy chicken and chips and Emlyn Hughes went straight to the front of the cue to get served, unfortunately for him I was next to be served, so I told him he was at the wrong end of the cue, he said do you know who I am, so I replied yes I do and my name is Tony, now f**k off to the back of the cue where you belong, everyone in the cue started to clap and off he went lol.

Not my story but one worthy of posting.

Back in the 80's a guy i currently work with was going thro his private pilots licence flying out of southampton ( it wasnt the comercial airport it is now ) he was flying solo practising touch and go landings when he was given permission to do another t&g, at that same time Gary Newman was given permission to take off from the same runway having just landed a few hours before and having his plane thoroughly searched for contraband. They passed within a few feet and we nearly didnt have the 80's electronica that we had

I once had tea and cakes with Lord Montagu of Beaulieu in his sitting room in Palace House, next to the museum. In my defence, it was many years before this story broke, however:

Don't know if these count but, Corries Albert Tatlock was named after my great uncle, they used the names off grave stones in southern cemetery in Manchester.
My Grandparents live opposite the house (now pulled down)the Moors murderers killed Edward Evans in. This is also where they were arrested !
The only major passenger plane crash in Manchester , in the 1960's landed on my grandads garage!
We supply carpets to Howard out of Take Thats parents (He used to work with my brother in law, as a panel beater, at the same firm Mike the Panel learnt his trade)
We supply carpets to Dale Cregans mum (hope he rots)!
I nearly had a car park ding , was just to give the bloke a gob full then shouted "F**k me it's Bernard Sumner", he p***ed himself laughing and drove off in his bmw z1.
I met the lead singer of The Zutons at a club opening in manchester we had supplied the flooring for. When i got pi**ed i asked him, "if i had hair like yours , would i have that many chicks hanging around me" He nearly fell over laughing . We also met Andy Rourke and R2D2 (no really lol,my wife had her pic took with him, he's tiny)
My dads best mate, Stan Egerton was one of the main detectives in charge of the Shipman case, he arrested and charged him . Shipman killed my first school teacher and a neighbour. One of my old mates Paul Spencer witnessed the will that finally caught him.
The one i'm most proud of , my Great grandad went for trials at Man City, he was accepted and given the job. He had to turn it down because the wages were less than he was on and he couldn't support his family . Can't ever imagine that happening now lol.
Oh , and i've also met that chap Frosty from the "Footwarts"

Was on an RAF diving exped in Gib and we were wanting a hire car. The only one available was a car that Noel Edmonds had just dropped off (the snobby **** just walked off and it was a right state the dirty bloody tramp).

Was on national TV during the 2011 Spa GP

Had a yarn with Daley Thompson and was surprised how small he was
