What autographs do you have and how did you get them?

Write to people, that is how I got Bob Monkhouse's, with a nice letter.

Peter Osgood, David Webb, Peter Bonetti, Ron Harris, Ian Hutchinson etc etc etc.

I'm impressed.
Is there anything more to tell us about that one?

Saw her 2 or 3 times at Sutton United's Boom Boom Club. They're* touring again soon with a new album.
* Curved Air for those not familiar.
I think I've got Noel and Julian's from the Boosh somewhere. But I didn't ask them for it in person, just bought a signed version of something.
Don't think I've ever asked someone to sign something, it seems a bit arbitrary. Why do I want their name written on something? But then I do overthink things a bit.

I like them.
What you ask is a good question. I don't have any answers. But early on, I got a few and other people got some for me. Mostly it is a spur of the moment thing rather than anything planned.
Bill Wyman on a programme from the early 60s.
And Screaming Lord Sutch likewise. I spent a couple of hours with him on a pier somewhere.

She's six months from 60 there. That is pretty good going.

I suppose it's just the socially accepted way of meeting someone you admire and connecting with them for a few seconds.
If I didn't hate meeting people I'd probably rather just shake their hand and say hi and leave out the autograph bit.

A couple of hours?
What was it like?

Are there any incriminating photos?

I reckon alcohol is often a factor. It is easy to get swept along with it.

I did that with Graham Norton - just shook hands that is.

Really great. Remember those arcade games where you had a gun in a holster and had to beat the machine to the draw? We had a good few goes on that and others. The tour headliner was Big Dee Irwin.
