I try not to take life too seriously thats all fella.
If I did I may resort to trawling web-sites and trying to catch people out when they`re just trying to bring a little smile to peoples faces
Lifes too short

One MattW might appreciate
met Steve Rothery (guitarist from Marillion) for the first time many years ago, and commented to him about his rather large increase in weight
his answer 'I had a choice, cocaine or chocolates, guess which won '

Went and serviced Brian Mays alarm system at his house in Windelsham when I was 18, we got greeted by this tall skinny bloke with wild hair, proceeded to wander round every room in his house, looked at some Queen posters on hall floor, asked him what they were all about and he said they were proofs or summat, never thought much of it and carried on, finally got him to sign the service docket and left. only when I got back to the office was I told who he actually was
Also met Anneka Rice when I was on challenge Anneka and she is really small

I was at Cadwell Park a few years ago watching the British Superbike Championship and went to the toilets near the pits. As I went in to the Gents door, Suzi Perry was coming out of the Ladies.
Some bloke nearby "excuse me are you Suzi Perry"?
Suzi (smiling brilliantly) "hi, yes I am"
Bloke "cool, have you just been for a ****?"
Suzi (looking shocked) "....." (storms off in a huff to the commentary box).

I Once spoke to John Travlota on the phone, he called a chap who owned and operated old jet fighters - vampires and venoms amongst others.
He called up and asked for the chap, i asked who was calling, he said 'John Travolta'. The best i could manage was "The John Travolta?!?" to which he replied "I guess so!" - i was completly star struck at the tender age of 22.

I once got hammered and asked Paul Merton whether he'd been to Oxford or Cambridge (I was young and thought that was where they all came from!). "With this accent darling?" was all he said......
I also spent a very long and drunken evening with Paul Darrow (Tarrant from Blakes 7) where he told me all about the cheap special effects they had on the show. He was a fabulous bloke - really good company.
Favourite famous person quote was told by Jimmy Tarbuck about Tommy Cooper. Back stage after a Royal Variety show, the Queen was going along the line shaking hands and gets to Tommy:
TC: Excuse me ma'am, may I ask you a question?
Q: Well, ok, yes Tommy, you can.
TC: Do you like football ma'am?
Q: To be honest, no, I'm not terribly fond of the sport.
TC: In that case, could I have your tickets to the next FA Cup final?

With a bunch of people in the American Airline lounge at JFK - we were all over in New York working on a big IT project. Who should we bump in to but none other that Bruce Forsyth. Have a bit of a chin wag as we seem to be the only Brits in the lounge - and none of the yanks know who he is. Perfect gentleman. He wanders off after a while. Later the flight is called and we get on board. We're in first class as we struck a deal with AA given the amount of travel back and forth we do.
Anyway we basically fill first class and are getting settled in when Bruce gets on the plane. He looks at us all and with a sigh and head bowed he stays dead-pan and says "bloody hell, I'm in the wrong job" as he continues through to lowly business class. Perfect delivery, just cracked us up.
He's definatelly one of the good guys.

About 5 years ago when i used to work in a sport shop i met frank tate from Emmerdale. He walked in and asked for some hiking socks. I looked at him and said "right you are frank". He looked at me like i was "special", shook his head and walked out.

Talking of Hollyoaks, I recently examined one of the phones of the cast.
He'd been naughty, and there were some (unrelated) naughty pics on there too

Wasn't really funny, but a couple of years ago had a delivery in Jesmond-is area. 3 big houses, electric gates, intercom, you get the idea.
Anyway,
The parcel was for Craig Bellamy, that lovely footballer who never gets into trouble.
After he signed for the parcel had a little natter,
I said something along the lines of:
"Aye, you must be on a canny wedge, big house, four new cars on the drive"
Little Welsh twerp:
"We don't make very much, Freddy (Shepherd) owns these houses"
My reply;
"F*ck off, you lying ****"
Like I say, not really funny, but hey-ho, made me chuckle.
