Right arse, he was!

A friend of mine went to school with Katie Price (AKA Jordan). I cannot repeat his opinion of her here as it's libellous..

It would be cool if some celebritites were registered on these forums.

Though I doubt they'd be using NTL lol.

I've met Trinny & Susannah (in fact was on stage with them at the Metro Centre in Gateshead - and yes they told me what not to wear) They are bloody massive!

I've passed Timmy Mallet in my town centre as well (he's often there because he is in panto)

Right, can we just clarify this situation - is there anybody on here who hasn't met Timmy Mallett? I know he hasn't really got much of a career anymore, but stalking members of Cable Forum's a bit, well, creepy, isn't it!?

Its the fact he does not appear to have changed in the last 20 years that worries me..

and it could be that cableforum is just a guise for the 'Stalk Timmy Mallet Society'

Anyone remember Gaz Topp from CITV? We were behind him in the queue for the ice cream van at some beauty spot in North Wales a few years ago ...

OK, Rita from Corry Norry, Kevin from Corry Norry, Spacemen 3 (ask your older indie kid brother), that page three girl who was famous a while back - Tracey someone? - my mate Julie who's been an extra in Corry Norry and Max & Paddy (might not count that!), The Bluebells, The Skids (OK, dredging from the past), Ronan Keating (crap music, nice bloke) Jesus & Mary Chain (good music, miserable tw**s), Warren Clarke (well stood next to him in Granada's bar), Stuart Hall (a whole week in Menorca - yes, he is like that all the time. Its v tiring), Anna Friel (well stared at her in rapture outside Bury Tesco), Hooky from New Order (well stood next to him at an Oasis gig) Mani from Stone Roses/Primal Scream (he thought my mate was one of the Chemical Brothers), Ian Brown (well spotted him shopping in Chorlton Safeway), Clint Boon (top bloke), Frank Sidebottom (v. funny - bloke inside the papier mache insists on being interviewed in character, in full regalia), Robert Powell (momentarily)...... but no Timmy Mallet

I think that counts. Anyway, it's not like you passed water on him, is it?

And their music's crap

I work with, and am friends with (well, most of the time, he can be a complete pain in the a*se) a member of the Climax Blues Band. They had a number 1 with "Couldn't get it right" (he apparently wrote that single) in the early 70s. They also had a couple of succesful albums. Mind you, if you remember them, you are old, and have a loooong memory..

Just to show how much they earned, he has an extremely nice house (went there years ago for a party) and is still living off his earnings as a band member.
