Nigel Kennedy
« on: January 29, 2017, 09:27:10 AM »
The wife was watching the start of Aussie Open tennis men final Federer v Nadal and Nigel Kennedy was performing in pre match entertainment. He was doing his usual Jimi Hendrix treatment of The Four Seasons and wearing a Villa Champions of Europe T shirt under his jacket.
I met him once at half time in the visitors end at the old Upton Park probably ten years ago. It was good to see him there as he could probably have got a seat in the Director's Box. A real celebrity fan.

I had a piss next to Nigel in a pub on Fulham high street a few years ago, he was sound and not at all like I imagined.

Has any other reader pissed next to a minor celebrity?

My brother had a piss next to Nigel at a "Player of the Year" night in the early 90s.  Cue lots of "did he have a fiddle?" jokes when he told us.

My best take-a-piss-next-to-a-minor-celebrity moment came at Bolton's Octagon Theatre.  I was in the middle of the three urinals and I had David Neilson (Coronation Street's Roy Cropper) on my left and John McArdle (Brookside's Billy Corkhill for thoe of a certain age) on my right.
