h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Rolf Harris in a hotel dining room in Wales. The conversation was prompted by an article in one of the Sunday papers about worm charming. I was somewhat hung over after a long night of celebrating some-one's wedding and walked into breakfast with my friends and there was Rolf sitting quietly in a corner.

All in all a very strange experience.

Wish I'd had the courage to do the star struck thing and ask him for his autograph, but we just talked about worms instead

Great to know you meet the great man. About 2 months ago I met Billy Connelly in a local bar. We were talking to him for about an hour it was like you own personal audience with, there were six of us. It was great he is as funny and somewhat cleaner spoken up close and personal. It was great.

Maybe we should start an article on the famous people reseachers have meet. BS.

Yeah, why not? But its the unexpected meetings that are the most interesting. I take it you walked into the bar not expecting to see Billy Connelly?

We actually got a tip from the barman. It still took us almost an hour to go up and say hi though. Kenny Daglish really took me on the hop he was standing right next to me a Euston station not once but twice in the same evening. What do you say to your childhood hero?

I MET ICE T IN LIVINGSTON SCOTLAND AND TO BE SURE I DID NOT MAKE CONVERSATION WITH A MAN WHO KEEPS AN AK 47 CLOSE TO HIS PERSON AT ALL TIMES
