Hi Lisa, I met Gill Taylforth a few times as a friend of mine was very close to her. I could have gone to 'The Sun' with all the tales I heard, but I'm too nice for that! Also met Peter Purves, who promised me and my school pals his autograph 'later' but he never did! Mike read did, and was very nice (quite good looking, too, but that was 25 years ago--God, I feel old!) Steve Cram ran at my school! Haven't actually met Jon Bon Jovi, but have seen him in concert a few times. He's a great performer, but what an ego! Also has a very nasal voice when performing live! Saw Matt Damon in a play--he was fantastic! And you could see his huge grin from the back of the theatre! Also saw Matthew Perry in a play last year--very sweet. And Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) is amazing on stage. Oh, and Alan Alda! Also once kissed Adam from 'Home and Away' about ten years ago! I am also friendly with Mike Neville--only Geordie members will know who 'Wor Mike' is!

For many years I raced Karts, at one point driving against Nigel Mansell - he beat me! Years later when my daughter Rachel was driving as a junior she raced against David Coulthard - he beat her! Such is life!
