It’s a small world

Truly, the tentacles of G&T fondle far and wide.

Speaking of a small world:

I know a young lady who told me her mum was proposed to by Craig Charles. Apparently he was very drunk at the time. (This was way back before his Dwarf days.) My friend is well into her twenties.)

If I’d met her via a Red Dwarf related event, I guess it wouldn’t be so much of a coincidence (i.e. her mother’s history could have sparked an interest in the show etc.) but actually I met her at my last job (she was my manager)! We kept in touch after I left (she left a short while afterward too) and I happened to mention the show when we were having dinner a few weeks back.

I feel like I’m reading the tabloids circa fifteen years ago

A friend of mine got VIP tickets to a Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the Wembley arena through a client at work. Despite having little interest in such frivolities, I went along to quaff free champagne.

There was a private party after it and, lo and behold, there was Danny John Jules. He’s quite a fan of UFC, apparently.

If you’d been waiting outside the wrong West London train station… that would be…

Reminds me of something I heard once, about someone calling a friend or relative. They accidentally dialed the wrong number which happened to be a phone box. A box, that the other person happened to be passing…

I think that one might be an urban legend though.

Ah, it was One in a Million!

Danny John Jules was at an old co-worker’s sister’s wedding. Or so I’m told.

One of the guys who works at the Waterstone’s in Luton claims to have once been involved with the Official Fan Club in some capacity. Thin, bald bloke. I forget his name.

Besides that, and a few emails with Andrew about Jump Leads, I’ve not met or had any involvement with anyone from the world of Red Dwarf. I have met Johnny Depp during a recording session for Disney Character Voices about a year and a bit ago, but he was only in The Fast Show so he doesn’t count.

Although, Johnny Deep was in The Fast Show in a scene with Mark Williams, who WAS in Dwarf. So you’re one away.

Ever since I bumped into Justin Timberlake, I’m probably three degrees away from half of Hollywood… Does it help with anything? I wish. :(

Marleen will have her people call your people…

I have connections with a lot of people I don’t actually know (such as John Barrowman, Wil Wheaton, Gabe & Tycho) and connections with a lot of people that I do (such as a small list of people I refuse to namedrop).

I don’t particularly “get” Angelina Jolie.

>I don?t particularly ?get? Angelina Jolie.

Amen brother. She does very little for me as well. I mean, I’d do her just to be able to say I did. But I could use that exact same argument with Bill Murray.

Her face is lovely too.

I can see how it wouldn’t be some guys’ cups of tea, those lips are an acquired taste, but I kind of like that. Why look the same as everyone else?

As for the breasts, I remember seeing an interview some while back when she appeared in the firat Tomb Raider. She stated that her version of Lara Croft was ‘flatter chested and more athletic’ because the game version was “a 36 D” and she is a 36 C. (I think those were the measurements.)

I don’t know much about bra sizes, but one alphabet letter? Reminds me of Harry the hippo chatting to his mate at the local water hole saying, “That Ronnie the rhino is a big geezer ain’t ‘e?”

I mean, you wouldn’t want a hippo to step on your toe would you?

I think Angelina is gorgeous, in fact she’s on my list (along with Alyson Hannigan)

A couple of years ago me and my sister were in an aisle right in front of Matt Lucas and David Walliams in Manchester HMV. It was when they were doing the Apollo and my sister was going to see them that night but I wasn’t. Guess what she said when she got the nerve to turn around and speak to them – exactly that. Walliams looked at me and said ‘why aren’t you coming?’ and I lamely said ‘I haven’t got a ticket’ and laughed when I should have said something totally random and biting like, for instance, ‘fuck you, Walliams, you big numpty’. Lucas said ‘that’s a shame’ and then they started talking to each other in an obviously *this is over* way but stupidly I just froze and kept looking at them.

You know those cringey moments where you don’t know what to do or say even though you’re screaming at your brain to give you something, anything… I wasn’t starstruck by them or anything, if anything they were the ones who made it worse by not moving away themselves, the ignorant twogs. My sister saved the day by saying, amusingly ‘I can’t believe you walk around together, I bet you get recognised more, do you?’ and Walliams said ‘it’s him, not me’ pointing at Lucas ‘I blend into the background’ or something like that. Then they did just go, thank god. Thinking about it it WAS absolutely mental that they were walking around together. Everyone was looking at them. Talk about arrogant!
