A famous golfer, didn't know who he was and can't remember his name.

He told me his name and waited for me to acknowledge him.

I said 'you have given me the impression I should know who you are but sorry, your name doesn't ring any bells'

At this point his wife roared with laughter and said I was going out with him for weeks until I mentioned his name to my friend and they explained who he was.

Anyway he said 'I'm a pro golfer' I said 'I'm a pro plumber where is the problem'

Its not nick faldo I know that name.....

My beloved angel, who even now is guffawing delightedly in my shell like, just pointed out with great amusement that both of mine are dead.

Chest deflated!

Ronnie Corbett! Lovely bloke and biscuits for two days!

Not such a lovely bloke when he catches you tiptoeing through his kitchen at 6.30 in the morning after a nocturnal assignation with his daughter! I used to live a couple of miles from him and chatted her up in the pub.

Ah, I know where you mean, but not the place I was thinking of. 🙂

[peteheat]

Maybe I didn't bow enough in their presence to work in all their homes but did a few jobs in the U2 recording studios, two of their own houses and two of their parents houses.

There was a stupid condition in the contracts that I could not disclose anything that was said / heard in the studios or use the work for advertising????????????

I mean what is there to hear in a sound proof studio?

Taoiseach's home (Prime Minister) a couple of the Irish gentry what they were Lords of I doubt they even know as they don't have seats in the House of lords.

The most secure court house in Ireland, that was a good on, while working on the job I had to agree to phone taps, police escorts swear something in Irish which apparently made me an officer of the courts, the only benefits I got from all that B.S. was;
I could drive the wrong way on a one way street?
Did not have to stop if involved in an accident?
My cars and vans were registered to police headquarters, not allowed sign writing on the vans.

That was back in the days of paramilitaries (criminals) running around with guns and we could have been deemed to be targets from all sides of the conflict because we were helping the State.

The money was only brilliant 🙂
