Things you have always wanted to do

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Things you have always wanted to do

Post by Best First » Fri Jun 10, 2005 10:50 am

I have always wanted to run the wrong way up an escalator.

Yesterday after i did that Crisi Square Mile run i was a bit pissed up so i decided to do it then.

Stupidly i decided to do it on one of the 60 meter or so ones at Waterloo.

I fell over once.

But i made it. :)

Is there anything stoopid you have always wanted to do? eh?

Spaff in Rachel Stevens' face.

Hold a traffic cone up to my mouth and shout out "STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO"

Get through to someone at Telewest's call centre who could pass a body parts recognition exam, especially the particularly tough "arse and elbow" questions.

You've done Victoria, haven't you? Victoria Station, I mean... ahem.

Or was that somebody else? Or somewhere else? I can't remember. :(

What have I always wanted to do? Have a celebrity ask me "do you know who I am?" so I can reply with something witty and insulting that makes them question their entire approach to life. Or punch me, so I can claim compensation from their rich ass. Whichever...
Grrr. Argh.

The RLJ did indeed stack it at Victoria, I remember it.

And I sorta did your one - I spied Cel babayro in a club once, decided to engage in friendly chit chat.

He claimed not to be who he clearly was (in there with Mark Bosnich), so when he asked 'who is he' I said:

'oh, he's just some **** footballer, not surprised you've not heard of him'.

He didn't like that, but took it quite well.

He was going on about that in an old interview in Q years back. He later said he was making it up to see what crap he could get people to print about him.

Is it Bill Nighy who basically lies his ass off in every interview, because the papers are gonna print balls about him anyway so he may as well be in control of what rubbish they say?
Grrr. Argh.

I believe Moby called that game 'knob-touch.'

Oh, I shouted "WE WERE ON A BREAK!" at David Schwimmer once. Bet he's never heard that one before. ;)

I would love to be on television or the radio, and give honest answers (you know, instead of all the 'this is what you are supposed to answer' crap).
Can't believe I'm still here.

My mum once got overtaken by James Hewitt, who winked at her in the process. Smooth.

I blanked Danny Baker one time. About seven years ago.

It was seriously brilliant. I was in HMV in Oxford Street (the old one) waiting for my dad to finish upstairs.

I was propped up against the beam at the foot of the escalator, looking up so I could see who was coming. All of a sudden, the fat git descends into view (one would suspect being carried faster than he can walk normally), beaming ear to ear.

I make eye contact and react to show recognition. As he reaches the foot of the escalator I stand up straight. He steps off the escalator and steps towards me, smiling, ready to schmooze with one of his adoring public. I step forward...

... and just keep on walking. Straight past him.

That was seriously fun.
Grrr. Argh.
