ArtistsRifles Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Was on guard duty at the DoY barracks in London for an official function which was strictly invitation only. Heir to the throne was there and the horse face hag turned up with the then husband in tow as part of the entourage. Their names were not on the guest list so they were refused entry. She got a strop on and relations went downhill from there... Personally I think she can't hold a candle to Princess Di in anything but..............

MARTIN CROSS Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi When we had the DUKW in 1988/9 we did a pop video on the Thames for a guy (Frank?) who was trying to make a comeback.I don't think he did! Had real problems with the strong current at Hammersmith and spun all six wheels getting out! Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I was in a school production of the life and times of Gilbert and Sullivan, with a young Jason Kay (later to be known as Jay Kay) of Jamiriquoi... needless to say he had a lead roll which if I remember correctly involved some singing no doubt... ...I was one of the 'three little maids from school' :oops: It was an all boy school before you start :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I met Ken Dodd after a show once. Was going out with an ex-diddy man at the time. I would like to point out at this point tho that all diddy men were female, just in case you had doubts....and he gave me a tickle stick. Not very military I hear you cry, well its amazing what damage you can do with a feather duster! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I met Ken Dodd after a show once. Not very military I hear you cry, Did you know.........that Ken Dodd once owned a Tilly? Can't remeber whether it was an Austin or a Hillman though. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoyle Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Through the help of a friend, I supplied five military vehicles for a movie named "The Last Castle" - spent five days there with my friends doing the driving - on screen this was split into two sequences - one about 5 seconds, and the other during the closing credits. Also helped a friend do the MV driving in another movie - Stateside - can actually be seen in it. Did some consulting work on "The Good German. Was interviewed for "top 10 armored personnel carriers" - wound up on the cutting room floor for that one. Wrote the second edition of Standard Catalog of U.S. Military Vehicles, and the Standard Catalog of German Military Vehicles for Krause Publications, and 21 other books. Write for Classic Military Vehicles, Military Vehicles Magazine, Army Motors and a dozen or so other periodicals. Met TV and movie star James Gandolfini while on The Last Castle, and Niel Young at a toy train show, and Justin Timberlake at my hobby shop. Thats as close to fame as I get......
