Just wondered, within a mile radius of our house, a few sort of famous people live, ( well I suppose not megga famous but you know what I mean)
1.. Steve Coogan lived down the road from me once. (moved)
2.. Paul Scholes lived down the road from me once ( moved)
3.. Mike Harding comedian, folk singer lived down the road ( moved )
4.. Bernard Manning lived down the road ( died )
5.. Lisa Stansfield, singer, lived down the road ( moved).
6.. P.J.Proby, pop singer from the sixties, lived down the road ( moved).
Thats all I can think of, they all seemed to move, I hope it wasn't something I did. ALanthemanc

Yep, counts big time, anyone will count. Manning once tried to bump start his Roller outside our house, for 2 hours. Only problem was, you cant, bump start an automatic, brought the neighbours out though.

Was he swearing
I did attend a funeral a couple of years ago, a friend of my late Father's, a folk singer named Dave Dalmour... He was Sir Jim's best friend, so Sir Jim got up and said a few words, very surreal moment.. He had a black shell suit and a red string vest on :shock: :shock:

I think you are Victor Meldrew in disguise, Del
The one who still stands out was Ricky Von Opel (then owner of Opel Cars) who would sit and casually chat to me about cars/driving in general and was a really, really nice person to meet.
It's not much of a disguise Joan!!! :shock: :shock:

Alan Shearer & Donna Air are both from Gosforth originally and Mark & David Knopfler (dire straits) & Neil Tennant (pet shop boys) all grew up here
My dad bought his house (in S. Wales) from the parents of the lead singer of Feeder...the band rehearsed there for years and his teenage graffiti was all over my brothers walls (till we painted over it)
Oh and the guy who lives directly opposite us was on 'Come Dine With Me'....it was rather cringeworthy :oops:

Hoping there is a chance for him to get back to it as well..
