Missy Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 From Cassis: >>> The thing about name dropping is that you must be subtle about it, never too obvious<<<Quite right Cassis!Did I ever tell you all, that in my life so far, I have met :3 of the UK's senior royals, 1 prince from a middle east kingdom (now a republic), 2 TV chefs, 1 princess of a now deposed royal family in the far east, 1 famous rock musician from the 70's, 1 actress from a now forgotten TV soap of the 70's/80's, 1 actress from a current TV soap (actually when I first met her, she was one of my pupils and later became an actress!) ...who else ? ... now ... I won't drop names as it is quite an étiquette faux-pas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINKLE Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 [quote user="Russethouse"]Where is 'Just Katie' ? Hope she is OK![/quote]She will be pleased that somebody asked about her! She's fine and has won a courtcase in Yorkshire!Do you remember her story about her wed Wodeshian widge back (she can't pronouce her 'R's [:)]) she paid 500 quid for him and he didn't go red but black? Well she took to scheming dog bweeder [;-)] to court and she won!I think she's having problems getting on the computer 'cos' of her kids at the moment - and I've been working a lot and only looking in now and again. I hope some of the more cynical persons on the forum don't think we are sock puppets or whatever you call those sad people who have several identities!Who remembers back in March when we first arrived on the forum? We were very naughty weren't we? How I yearn for those mad, crazy days......Oh well - Tresco's back from her travels tomorrow so that's something to look forward to!http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/642563/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Met George Martin plus hs wife and children Giles (now the record producer) and Lucy who was really the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, later met them again with the late Ron Goodwin and his wife who were a lovely couple. Also met the late Marion Montgommery and her husband, Parkies master of music, Laurie Holloway (a lovely chap) Met Parky too, lovely blue eyes. Anton Rogers once packed up my shopping for me at our local Waitrose where we have also spotted Kate Winslett and her sister helping their Mum with the Christmas shopHad tea with the Douglas Homes not long after they had retired, the lady I worked for asked me to get the children dressed in something decent and to wear one of my longer skirts (instead of my usual mini !)[;-)][;-)] I was younger and thinner then !

I used to travel up from Ipswich for big nights out there, and then tuck into the biggest burgers I'd ever seen from Zac's burger van in the car-park afterwards. Must have been the late 70's.
