In my dirty arse biker days when I had hair and no sense of fashion, I got thrown out of Harrods (does that count) Oh and during the same era a friend and I got thrown out of every pub in Hawkshead in the Lake district during one night of roudiness and total disregard for the rest of humanity. Yes I know its not big or clever and I am a lot more mellow and respectfull now.

Someone had a camera handy when I got dragged across thorpe park lake by a stack of flexifoils, landing them on the model village! the picture ended up in some mag showing my extremely old and knackered GUL wetsuit, I asked GUL if they could give me a new one for the publicity I'd achieved and they politely said bugger off....was this the first kite surfing attempt?

Re: Wow!

cor that is fame indeed. I once told Frank Sinatra to get lost.

oops, well no that's a lie, and part of a gag:

A bloke (let's say he's called Dave) - meets Frank sinatra in a bar, and says wow Frank sinatra, and frank says hi. The chap buys frank a drink and asks frank for a favour. "I'm meeting a girl here in a few minutes, could you just pretend you know, me, you know, pop over and say hiya Dave? " Frank sinatra agrees, so a few minutes later Dave is sitting having a chat with his girlfirend and Frank sinatra ambles over and says "hi, Dave, how's it going?" and Dave says "oh bog off Frank and stop pestering me, can't you see I'm with a girlfriend?!!"

1) appearing on Blue Peter with a four-foot long foot (no, really!)
2) pretending to take an auction in Japanese for Japanese TV
3) being called up by a wealthy expat widow in Monaco after a radio interview (but I was young and foolish and, consequently, am still penniless)
