Just got my lunch from Pret a Manger on 7th Avenue in New York and surprised to see Bono and U2 singing on a flatbed truck. They are very popular here the pedestrians went nuts when they realised who was singing!!

I ate my lunch with gusto!!!
Bono looked like he could do with a good wash and was quite small and delicate. The blond guy was is looking much older and Edge was strumming away like a demon. Everyone was wearing black, not a clean black mind you but the band and the crew looked crumpled and old. Some folks tried to get to film them with their cameras and knocked me around a bit. I just tripped them up ....I'm a bit of an old codger that way. I'm not into celebrity worship not since I was "nuzzled" by Dave Lee Travis and chased by David Essex in the seventies.

I'm intrigued. Were you nuzzled and chased for a whole decade? Was David Essex chasing you for a 'nuzzle'.
That'll be the day....

OK.......
Dave Lee Travis I was working in a publishing house and "the big hairy monster" needed to find something in the yellow pages. So being the helpful young lass that I was I looked up the business and he came up behind me placed his arms around me and said something rather rude as he nibbled my ear!!! I was very young and was mortified I ran and hid in the loo till he left the building..... Let's just say I "felt" something!!!... I remember now he was looking for a store that engraved trophies.
David Essex was sitting in the reception of a hotel where I was working as a trainee receptionist (I was only 16!!). We had been told that we could not fraternise with the guests and Mr. Essex beckoned to me to come and sit with him I smiled and went on my way so he sent one of his minions following me around asking me to come and sit with David, again I ran off. Needless to day my friends thought I was a major twat.
What can I say I was a pretty little thing then but thick as a bag of spanners.
People I also ran away from
Michael Elphick
Average White Band's manager .......wanted to send a limo to Bow to take me out to dinner (circa 1978)
Guy who ran the page 3 stable of girls offered me a page 3 spot .....I wouldn't do it because my father worked in a factory and I knew he would be mortified.
Top london cosmetic dentist (I didn't need work).
What did I do instead of dating exciting people .......I dated tossers from Tower Hamlets.

I can't believe you didn't shag David Essex - I know you were only 16 but he was so hot!!
11-23-2004, 07:20 PM
wow! I'd have swooned if I'd met David Essex at 16! I had his pics on my bedrrom wall!
I saw DLT DJing at a local disco but went off him when I saw how he was treating people.

My husband takes the P out of me when ever I mention David Essex. He reckons that David Essex thought I was a waitress!!
No photo's .......I'm fat and knackered now and I get annoyed with myself when I realised how little confidence I had back then.
