Celebrity boatyard conundrum

[jac]

So there I was sat quietly in the cafe at the boatyard on Saturday lunchtime when I see a young family. The wife and husband look oddly familiar but despite wracking my brain I can't place them, they don't say anything to me so obviously not someone that I'm supposed to know.

Then when walking back to do more polishing and looking out to the river, i see a Sadler called Pixie safely moored up and I realise that it must have been snooks of this parish.

So now that we seem to have celebrities on the same pontoon as us what do we do?

option 2 and complain to the Management at once, demand free bodyguards around yer boat!
Yottin Press Papparatzi on your pontoon? Keep your top on whatever you do, even in the showers

Why didn't your options include: "Keep taking photos of them until they go away"?

Mike.

Or what about the option - Say hello and ask them who they are and what do they do?

I usually do it and am still no wiser if they are celebs after asking.

I once saw that Tyrone off Corrie getting on his Jetski thingy at Conwy Marina.

I was once berthed next to the stinkpot owned by that Grant Michell in 'Enders in Puerto Portals. But I never saw him. If had I would have said 'Ere, wussgoinon?'

I spent half an hour talking to Sean Connery once and didn't know who he was. I also got invited for meal every night for two weeks by a well known film and tv star but I don't kiss and tell.
Strangely enough if anyone berths next to us ask to move strait away once they find out who I am. I usually manage to grab a few beers before they go.

Dont worry, they are a lovely family.

Before they became parents Snooks and Kirsty gave our club a talk about their Scottish adventures.

He IS quite handy with a camera too....................................

Bad mental image there!!

We've taught a few famous people. Because they rarely sign themselves as their stage name I never know who they are until after they have gone and someone says 'so what was xxx like then?' or words to that effect.

As I said to Her Majesty the other day, I wish people wouldn't name drop all the time. She agreed that it was tedious.

If you want some fame to rub off I would suggest doing some upgrades to your boat... with a few clicks of a Nikon you'll be the centrefold in PBO

Say hello next time.

YM and their contributors are slowly taking over the marina that isn't a marina.

Miranda Delmar Morgan is having her boat sorted. As is our esteemed editor Kieran. There is also somone else, but I'm not sure whether it's public knowledge...so mums the word

I will.

I was wracking my brains trying to place you! We're actually on the same pontoon, so we will be going past you - no hiding!

BTW, which "Amble Marina" is it we should avoid when we are forced into the River by bad weather- dont want to wub fenders wiv Medja Wiff Waff, after all, even Snooks, who is at least 'only following orders' from the hacks

Deacons. As snooks says, not so much a Marina but a boatyard that is undergoing a lot of development.

... Snooks, who is at least 'only following orders' from the hacks

I thought that he had left the staff to go freelance, in which case (if I'm right!) would be more like a mercenary...

Mike.

 

[snooks]

I am freelance, I took voluntary redundancy on May 1st last year....Since then I've become chief boat tester for Yachting Monthly which I do on a freelance basis - I organise, write about and photograph new boats.....but I also have my own business: Graham Snook Photography http://grahamsnook.com

So I'm a photographer who also writes, rather than a writer with a camera
