I once spent a month working for the composer who created and conducted the music for Citizen Kane and Psycho among many other movies... Bernard Herrmann. Now that was an impressive experience! He was scoring The Bride Wore Black (La mariée etait en noir) and I was copying the parts which the orchestra would play from. Drudgery, but worth it that time...

As name dropping is all the rage, prepare to be under whelmed. We once had Ross Noble the comedian to stay at our small Scottish hotel. He sat across the bar from me as I served him John Smiths and listened to his tales of the evening. .....apparently it didn't go well. Ross should've been warned that Aberdonians are a miserable bunch. (with a few notable exceptions Arena ;D) We also had the sexy bloke from the porridge advert.....yes him who went up ladders in a kilt. Rory McCann has now made it big in Game of Thrones.

I once bumped into Peter Gilmore (Onedin Line) in our newsagents but I was too timid to say hello

I met Hannah Gordon when she opened our new Tescos. That was a few years back.

I once took £7 off Sean Connery at poker, at Shepperton Studios - that was money in 1962!
Oh, and an ex-lover of his introduced me to Kenneth Griffith - he told me 'This young lady and I used to walk out together' - I thought how charming and delightfully old-fashioned!

I once chatted with Winford Vaughan Thomas and his wife on a train from Cardiff to London. They were a splendid couple who didn’t talk as though thought they were in any way special.

My mother said Always look under the bed Before you blow the candle out To see if there's a man about I always do But you can take a bet It's never been my luck To find a man there yet!

One of the greats... "The Essence of Eccentricity" Tonight I'm alone, broken-hearted To mother I've murmured 'goodbye-ee' From the home of my youth I've departed With a tear in my bonny blue eye. Forget all my troubles I can't tho' I try There's only one thing left for me — sui-ci-hi-hide.... I don't like my mother's pie-crust. Eat it? No — I'd sooner die fust! I've tied it round me neck, And tomorrow I shall be Down at the bottom of the deep - blue - sea.
