BRUSHES WITH FAME…BEXLEY LIBRARY USERS
BARE ALL!
A couple of members of a Library Reading Group here in Bexley (Let’s disguise the group’s name a bit, shall we?….Let’s call them “SouthCumberland Heath”) recently confessed to various brushes with celebrity…one had kissed an Everly Brother (Don?...Phil?...we need to know which!); another had been on a date with David Essex (swoon, swoon).
“That’s nothing!” said some of my colleagues in the Bexley Library Staff Literary Dining Club… “This hand has shaken hands with Joanna Lumley”
“Well, I can beat that!” added another…”I’ve sat on Gene Vincent’s knee!”
Wow!
Well, that set me thinking, I can assure you.…There’s some mileage in these stories, surely?...
Bexley Library staff and their brushes with fame?
…Bexley book lovers and their celebrity encounters?...
…Bexley Blog-followers kiss ‘n’ tell tales?...
Hmmm, I thought…What can I offer to this important debate? My brother, apparently, once helped park Eric Morecambe’s car…
And I`ve sat on the same lavatory seat – not at the same time, naturally - as Dame Agatha Christie and (allegedly) Hans Christian Andersen…
Oh, and I once - in a pub in Swansea – looked after Dr David Owen’s beer, while he “nipped next door”…
But I`m sure that there are more tales to tell out there…
So, do any other Bexley Blog followers have any more (printable) brushes with fame? Do tell. We love a celebrity link here, don’t we, dear readers?
Just use the comments thingummy-jig.
Must dash…things to do!
Ciao!
Mwah! Mwah!
TTFN
(PS – If any readers should wish to hear my anecdotes about Greg Dyke, Freddie Mercury, a famous cleric, and Brian Murphy of ‘George & Mildred’ fame, then I`m afraid you’ll just have to speak to me “in confidence”…)
