I thought the same thing - had Orville gone out of control and got splattered!?

I know, I know: pics or it didn’t happen. But Sunday night, as a celebratory dinner at a nice, but by no-means super fancy Thai place in LA, the Mrs. and I were seated next to Larry David. It took all of my strength to not glance over the entire time. The Mrs. said I played it cool. So there. It has been our only star-struck moment.

More my 6yo than myself, took her to the movies in Mcr city centre earlier today to see Snow White (not great) and as we were getting some snacks, from the Sainsburys on Deansgate, Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey in Corrie, was in front of us in the queue, she ended up taking a bit of a shine to my daughter and was chatting to her for a bit, seemed a lovely woman.
I tried to explain to my daughter who she was when we got out of the shop but she was more interested in the bag of Maoams i’d just bought

When I was seven we were on holiday in Cornwall and my dad left us in the car whilst he popped in the newsagents to buy a paper. In the shop he saw Jimmy Greaves but chose to respect his privacy and didn’t accost him. I didn’t see Greaves at all.
Is that small enough?

Funny what you remember! Out of nowhere my American girlfriend mentioned Kajagoogoo Too Shy yesterday and I was really surprised she knew of them as I didn’t think they’d been much of an international thing.
One day after school (aged 12 possibly just turned 13) my mate Marcus and I went into our local record shop (Discovery Records) to have a browse. We were only in there a few minutes when Marcus whispered to me “Is that Limahl?”.
I looked over at the counter and there was a guy with his back to us, with dyed blonde hair and ripped denim jacket chatting with the guy that ran the store. I didn’t know if it was or him not but Marcus seemed convinced. He sidled over to stand behind this guy, I followed him. He then piped up with “Excuse me…are you Limahl?”
The guy turned around and sure enough it was Limahl 
Limahl replied “Yes” with a beaming smile.
Marcus says “I think you’re shit” and turns round and runs out of the shop laughing his head off, leaving me standing there with Limahl and the shop owner staring daggers at me

Talking of Going Live!, I used to deliver Sarah Greene’s newspapers. Mike Smith always had a fancy Ford Cosworth or two.

Definitely an influence. Marcus was a loose cannon. A good time for sure but borderline chaotic/totally unhinged. I’m sure he was undiagnosed ADHD (as am I I’ve realised over time) but he could be so fucking reckless.
The first proper gig I ever went to was with Marcus, his elder Brother and a couple of his Brother’s mates (they would have been 15/16, so 2 or 3 years older than us).
We were teenage Mods. We went to see The Kinks at Leicester De Montfort Hall. On the way out whilst waiting for our lift back home Marcus pushed over some guys motorbike in the car park (because he was a Mod and that’s what Mods did in Quadrophenia I suppose ) but what he didn’t realise was the guy was standing nearby with his mates, and we then proceeded to be chased around the side streets for twenty minutes or so before we gave them the slip. I didn’t speak to him for weeks after that.
