Top call! Did you work on Bad Taste?

Nope, I'd left NZ by then. My last take was as a zombie! Filmed in Pauatahanui Cemetary.

Edit: speaking of Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott once spat a mouth full of beer in front of me!

Also, was invited to the 'green room' after a Fall concert in Hammersmith and met MES, Brix and Michael Clark (the dancer). There was also some tranny who insisted they were famous, name evades me.... Alanah Perry ?????

I'm in the video for 'Waterfront' by Simple Minds. Myself and a mate were in Glasgow and we heard that Simple Minds were filming a music video in the Barrowlands so we headed along to find a large queue. The doors opened and chaos ensued but when things calmed down filming commenced. We were there half the day for a video that last 4 minutes at the most. The sad thing is no matter who many times I've seen the video over the years I've never spotted myself:sad:

I'm in a book.

I cannot, cannot tell you which one.

In fact I was in two, but whilst one sold very badly, the other was the top seller in the year it came out.

As a youngster the local track league had races for kids where you could ride your road bike. Used to ride against Chris Newton. Our cycling careers then took slightly different paths........ Chris became world champion in the points race......... and I didn't.

My wife worked with Midge Ure when he was an engineer.
I used to know Gryff from SFA. Haven't seen him for about 18 years, I wonder what he's up to...

Harrison Ford? That man is almost as lucky as Ringo Starr! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! His acting technique consists of trying to do quadratic equations in his head - a bit like Keanu Reeves.

Apart from Blade Runner, I'll give him that. Although he did spend much of that film looking confused...
