Thomas_Merton Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 ... we were good friends with the personal bodyguard of the Queen (of UK) One of my friends in Denmark was a body guard of the royal family. I we get one more, we will begin to think it is a rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patex Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) I've bought a T- shirt and 3 bottles of "Carabau Daeng" for 120฿ from Ed on a talad nad, and a few years ago I met Pol Pot ( and of course his body guard ) in Burirum, short time before he passed away...

Thomas_Merton Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I am on pretty good talking terms with God and His son JC. I know if I get my act together (and there is still time), there’s a more than even chance I will get invited up to the Big House for the rest of eternity. Only problem with this deal is it’s open to everyone. Anyway, whatever your persuasion, it sure as h*ll (or heaven) beats the power and influence the sad cases think they get second hand from the drunken politicians, corrupt businessmen, played out pop stars, pathetic TV actresses or failed bodyguards, that have been listed in this thread (even if I must accept that Dennis Law was a genius on the football pitch.).

bkkmadness Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) I'd say that the 'drunken politicians, corrupt businessmen, played out pop stars, pathetic TV actresses or failed bodyguards' are all people just as you and I Thomas Merton and what the <deleted>.ck has God and J.C. story done for us? Power and influence of controlled religions as caused a lot of wars and death in the world, nothing to be proud of, best not spread around anymore I think, a bit more universally taking care of each other seems to be the way forward for me. Belief not in a diety or religion, but in ourselves. Edited April 14, 2005 by bkkmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 About ten years ago I had a romantic liaison with 'Bev Callard' . She is still a friend. Coronation Steet fans should know her! Which one is that, Hilda Ogden or Rita Fairclough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmadness Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 without this thread getting all wanky, you did suggest that JC and God "beats the power and influence the sad cases think they get second hand from the drunken politicians, corrupt businessmen, played out pop stars, pathetic TV actresses or failed bodyguards, that have been listed in this thread" that is a bit of praise, to heighten JC and God above these people is it not?

jayenram Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I've bumped into Dave Cousins in the Leeds Uni bar. I've seen Jimmy White buying a tie in Aberdeen airport. I've seen Tommy Cooper sh1tfaced on the BA shuttle. I've seen Steve Davies getting off a 747 in Don Muang. I saw Jethro Tull when they were playing for 25 quid a night in Bratford. I was on the front row of a Howlin' Wolf concert in Manchester. I've had lunch with the Sultan of Brunei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgimelon Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Oh, well if you're going to start listing famous people you've met or seen, that'd be a long list for me. I've bumped in to tons of people, from Evander Holyfield shopping in a Rich's department store in Atlanta (right after his first heavyweight win, he was buying every TV in the place) to hanging out with Brett Favre and Mark Chmura at Denny's one night after a big win against the Rams (of course, there were the weekly sundae-eating contests I used to have with the offensive line guys at brunch too, I made one guy miss practice because he had to eat 11 sundaes to beat me, heheh) to working backstage security for Metallica to getting breakfast with Test, Kurt Angle and Albert at Wrestlemania 17 in Texas (used to work for the WWE). Geesh, I could go on for ages. But perhaps the funniest "brush-with-fame" episode came when I was living in Florida. My friends and I used to chill at the crappy little underground club that was literally beneath a freeway overpass and in a genuinely unpleasant neighborhood. Anyway, on Wednesday nights, they had this crappy little goth-wannabe house band that we all hated (after all, how good could a WEDNESDAY-night house band be, right?). They used to make a lot of noise and burn some lunch boxes, but other than that, they were terrible. Anyway, my girlfriend at the time had a big crush on the lead singer of the band. Whenever we went over to the band's apartment for the afterhours party they threw every week, she'd always be trying to chat up that coked-out loser, kinda sucked especially since I introduced her to the skinny jerk. So after a few weeks, she dumps me for him, and of course, he bangs her and dumps her just like the dozens of other girls who were throwing themselves at this guy for some unknown reason. Serves her right too, the skank. The name of the band? Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids Yep, that's right, Marilyn Manson stole my girlfriend. Ugh, how humiliating .
