For those that can remember, when Billy Idol's Rebel Yell came on, did clubs/parties go bananas?

  It's 2012 and that song still bangs to me, but I was kid when it was originally released. Those of you who were young back then(no offense), was that song guranteed to inject adrenaline into a party or a club?

  Funny enough, about 3 or 4 weeks ago, Billy Idol came on a tour to my place of employment, so I started chatting to him, about the hideous statue of Margaret Thatcher would you belive.

  He comes across as an intelligent and alltogether decent person. Afterwards he shook my hand.

  I much prefer "White wedding" by the way.

  I dunno, I was in my early teens when Rebel Yell was being played at clubs.

  The song kicked my ass, though. Still does.

  Of course he is decent and intelligent. Don't you remember the scene from "Wedding Singer" when Adam Sandler explains his problem? "Billy Idol gets it, why doesn't she get it?" Clearly a subtle grasp of human nature.

  Funny enough a few weeks back there were job openings and I even e-mailed a member of this site an application form.

  I work at the Houses of Parliament in Great Britain.

  A few months back I was sitting alone in a smoking area having a fag when this man comes out for a fag too, he didnt work there but looked somewhat familiar to me and he had said hello, so I said, "are you someone famous"?, he said, "no..........my names Fergal" in a strong Irish Accent, so there I was, having a fag with Fergal Sharky, I also said, "you couldnt sing "Teenage kicks" for me could yer", he replied, " your right, I couldnt".

  Ive had Kate Moss look at me and coyly say, "Hi", I replied, "Hi". (Perhaps she could tell I was from Croydon).

  Earlier this year I was told Desmond Tutu was due in and I was to take him to a commitee room, of course as is the way, the big wigs took it upon themselves to do the task I had been assigned, so just got to see him in passing.

  During the anti-Iraq war demonstration, British Weather girl Sian Lloyd needed to use a tiolet, she was going out with an MP I was friendly with at the time, so I had the pleasure of escorting her through the building to the Ladies.

  Margaret Thatcher stopped to ask me how I was once.

  Lots and lots of famous people I get to see, but its only of interest to me when I can have a chat with them.
