I was served pints by Jim Bowen's cousin, who was the spit of him. We ripped into the poor guy, every time he passed a drink or change over the bar we would all say "Great, super, smashing" ! Very puerile I know but you had to be there. He lasted about 3 weeks.

At least he didn't tell you to 'f--k off', which is what JJ Burnel (Stranglers) said to me in 1977.

Ah - but you actually REMEMBER what he said to you, don't you? He probably said that so that would always remember that moment!

I used to work with Konnie Huq's mum, Rowshin. In fact, Konnie was a temp in our office just before she got the job on 'Milkshake' on C5. She used to do all my photocopying, filing and post for me - a lovely girl.

We were on our way to a Stranglers concert and he walked past with some other bloke, I blurted out to my mate 'It's JJ' ... and that was the response I got!

Well, it was 1977 ... at least he didn't gob on me!
