So what did you say to him? Did he say anything?
I LOVE Sir Ian!
(Yes, I’m aware that he’s gay. It’s a platonic thing. He’s just so freaking COOL!)
Your friend is deficient, Matt. Rufus is welcome and invited to cruise me at any time.
Prunella Scales? Heart, be still!
(shhesh, she’s somebody I know’s girlfriend’s GRANNY? I feel old.)
Really? Cool. If you see them anytime soon, tell them a random person you met on the Internet said they were excellent in Rumpole Redeemed (aired on Radio 4 yesterday). I’m sorry I missed the rest of the series, though.
WILLASS, I hope you don’t mind that I am using this thread as the launching point of a Great Debate.

Yup, that would be me. I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I heard about it. My boyfriend (though this was before we were dating) was less enthusiastic. I can’t imagine why.
Well he basically came up to the bar next to my girlfriends brother and myself and patted us both on the bottom while ordering a drink, We introduced ourselves and had a brief chat about Tim and Pru, what a wonderful boat it was (its the last paddle steamer on the Thames and is extremeley cool) but refrained from gushing about what a great actor he is and how marvelous he was in ‘Lord of the Rings’ as it didn’t seem to be the right thing to do. He seemed really nice and our conversation was all to brief, there were loads of other celebs at the party but the most internationally recognisable was probabley Alan Rickman who seemed like a bit of a miserable git. I still think the star of the show was the engine room of the ‘Waverley’ or possibley my ass.
:eek:
All I can say is, had I recieved an invitation, there would have been plenty more ass grabbin’.
Marc Platt once told me I had a mouth like Rita Hayworth.
I’m not sure if he meant I had a beautiful mouth, or that Rita and I both cussed a lot.
Haven’t clicked on your link, Eve, but I sure do hope that Marc Platt wasn’t in Deliverance.
Yew got a purty mouth…
Sorry Munch I only just noticed this, which made me laugh heartily indeed, yes it was an ass grabbing worthy of Her Royal Highness Queen Liz herself! Oh I nearly forgot to mention that Ronnie Barker (the guy off ‘The Two Ronnies’) was there as well looking exceptionally dapper in a white jacket and as he is a personal hero of mine I thought i’d mention him! I’m going to go now before the ‘clang’ of names being dropped deafens us all… 
My ex-gf was macked on by a very intoxicated Madonna at a New Year’s party about 10 years ago.
Same ex told me that I kiss just like Her Madgesty. Best compliment I ever got.
Were you present and watching at the time? If so you are a lucky, lucky person indeed…incidentally I tell my girlfriend that she touches my ass just like Ian, I think she’s worried.
No, I was not, but we have a mutual friend who was lucky enough to be there. He probably would have enjoyed it more if he weren’t as gay as eighteen balloons.
The best part was when they got to the “after-hours” part of the evening, all the Industry people had left and it was just lots of drunken glitterati stumbling around topless.
M drifted up to my ex, said “nice shirt”, and pulled it off of her. Ex almost peed herself.
You got groped by Sir Ian?
Your girlfriend’s grandmother is Sibyl Fawlty?
My life is so frickin’ boring.
My groped-by-a-celebrity story:
When a group of friends and I had our photo taken at a Star Trek convention a couple of years ago with Marc Alaimo (best known as Deep Space Nine’s Gul Dukat), he stood next to me and put his arm around me. I can’t actually say he felt me up, but he did run his hand up and down my waist in a suggestive manner, and tried to flirt.
The sad thing is that, while I enjoy him as Gul Dukat, he’s not a man I find terribly attractive without the Cardassian make-up. On the other hand, Jeffrey Coombs, who was also there, turned out to be kind of a cutie in real life (I’ve never found him anything but creepy in any film or TV show I’ve seen him in); I would have been glad of a chance to flirt with him.
WILLASS - you may count me as another person who’s impressed by your connection to Prunella Scales. As you might guess by my username, I am an enormous fan of hers.
I was speaking to my girlfriend when reading this so asked where the name Miss Mapp came from as I didn’t know…Mapp and Lucia right? I’ll have to watch it!
I nominate this thread title for most thought provoking title ever.
I think when someone grabs your ass, you can ask him anything that you want.
I watched Paul Auster pick up a chick once.
I used to date David Sedaris.
I’ve seen two of Jensen Buchanan’s boyfriends naked.
I had Billy Idol sign a record, “Thanks for letting me sit on your face last night,” then he showed my his ass.
My mom slept with Willie Nelson.
I had to squeeze past Lou Reed at a party once.
Jeff Buckley hugged me twice and kissed me once.
