Namedropping thread


Recommended Posts

About 20 years ago, my mate's mum worked as the council's arts officer in Alloa. She organised a few gigs - beer festivals and the like. It was good, as my mate and I got to listen to the bands who sent in their tapes and give our opinions.

Anyway, she was organising some sort of charity event.  People paid money for tickets, silent auction, dinner and all that. She got us in for free, so long as we wore suits. There was talk of a free bar. So we went, and the MC was Fred Macauley. We sat through his awful stand-up routine (some Rangers/Celtic jokes that landed like a lead balloon in Alloa - might have worked better in Glasgow). And afterwards, we hit the free bar with the VIPs - and ended up talking to Fred himself. Nice guy actually. Kind of spoiled by the fact my mate's mum told him my nickname was Crispy, and he kept asking me why.

There was a guy at my school called Crusty as he used to come in his pants as soon as he started a slow dance with a girl, @scottsdad is probably the same.

There was a guy in our school known as touch 'n' go for similar reasons!

I knew a boy growing up who was christened Davy Ten Da's because his parents split up and his mum remarried very quickly and he came to school after the summer holidays with a new last name.

There's always some poor sod at every school whose maw has seen more cocks than a Dundee piss hoose!

Similar: my mate's mum heard - from my mate - that my bedsheets were crispy and needed to be broken with a toffee hammer.

We went to see Ed Gamble on Thursday, excellent by the way but I think the whole run is sold out.

While in the queue, Dara O'Briain wandered past - he had just come out of David O'Dochertys gig.............who also then wandered past 😁

Was at Simple Minds in Princes St Gardens last night (excellent), saw nobody famous at all (except JK and CB on stage, obvs).

I'd just arrived back from OZ and started a new school in Coatbridge and arrived to open factory or summing, 

wee kids stood to give flowers and bow, I'd not got a clue what was going on, but a princes of the people to did take the flowers off us and ...then got killed as she was a fucking a muslim but we don't here much about that now.....e
