1. I knew Noel Edmonds when he was a mere strip of a lad.
2. I was at university with Victoria Wood.
3. I have curtsied to Princess Anne on stage at the Royal Albert Hall.
4. I went on a course in the laying-on-of-hands with Dorothy Tutin's daughter.
5. Michael Fish signed a copy of the BBC Weather Calendar for me in 1982.
6. A friend of mine peed in the gents next to Ronnie Cray.
7. I know which house the man who used to play Grant Mitchell in Eastenders used to live.
8. I worked with someone who lived opposite the man who created Basil Brush.
9. I worked with another someone who can just be seen peeping (not peeing) out of the window in the scene in Fawlty Towers where Basil beats the car with a bush.
10. As all these pathetic facts are true, and I find myself strangely proud of them, I wish to remain anonymous - I am also the "voice" behind Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni here on Mudcat and, much more recently, I was Secret Squirrel today on Sir jOhn's thread; on occasion, I have also been The Bard and Sherlock Holmes in threads. Not telling who I am - that is to remain in obscurity - as if I kid myself that anyone cares !
