Dubious sexual encounters with the famous.

I once slept with the daughter of a famous England goalkeeper. Bit of a Goth, but hey.

Another mate had Catherine Zeta Jones eating out of his hand in the early days until he grabbed her arse and said (genuinely) 'you love it.'

Anybody snogged / shagged / inserted something into the famous?

Massive Letdowns
I spent months hunting down a friend who buggered off to Australia.
She was there for me and helped me hold my head high when life really had become too much for me to deal with.
For nearly three years now i have held onto a charm bracelet she brought me from Africa, I wear it now and again when times are hard just to remind me that someone does care and that not all people are shit. It brings back good, strong memories that help me get by.
Then LUCK! I find her email address today, so I wait nervously for a response to my email, hoping she's going to be proud to hear what has become of me and offer some sagely advice yet again. FUCK! Is she alive? How hard will she scorn me for the time it's taken to fix my head and update? Will she have her own yard now so i can fuck off to Ausland and look after her horses in the sun?
She replies.

"I don't remember you"

My head hit the desk, I know it's not a bad thing but i feel gutted.

Who have you held in high regard that has let you down at the worst possible moment?

The Zombie Apocalypse. How ready are you for it?
Really?

A couple of months ago I woke up early and found we had no water. Ended up getting thru to the water board and eventually found out they wee fixing a burst main. No biggie really.
Later that day I went out and bought 30L. of water to replace the 10L. I had opened that morning.
We have a store of tins in the bottom of the pantry we (semi) jokingly call the "Judgment Day Stall".

No shotguns or generators. Yet...

1989 was Soul II Soul "keep on moving"

1993 Ice Cube "today was a good day"

What trak reminds you of summer and what song,film or thing reminds you of how you lost your virginty and what happened?!!!!!

Extreme drug experiences
My first week at college me and my mates got hold of a bunch of mushies, I had a baggy of 200 meself. We arranged to eat them then meet up later.

So I was sitting there, a mushy virgin, thinkin... 'how many should I take???' Hmm.. 20 sounds good! 15 mins later nuthin happening. Take another 20. 15 mins later, nuthin! So to cut a long story short, my logic being: "hey you can just pick em in a field, how strong can the be" I necked the lot. In hindsight this was rather a lot.

One vivid memory among many is being unable to both walk and carry a bag. It was all just too much to handle. My mates said "we're heading to Mark's place, you carry this" and I nearly burst into tears with the sheer daunting impossibility of both walking and carrying something and just stood there in the street frozen with bewilderment.
