OFFTOPIC - Brushes with fame

Didn't happen to me ... but almost...

My Dad used to own a shop in Victoria Square, and one night just before closing, a big black american came into the shop and just started talking away. Dad had a great conversation with this guy for about an hour, and they talked a little about basketball and about how I was playing district etc, he said maybe I should sign something, so he did. Dad then said he had to go home for tea with the family, and the guy pretty much asked if he could come along as he was bored, Dad said no as he didn't know who he was.

Needless to say when my Dad turned up home that night with a signature that said Magic Johnson - I have never forgiven him!

(And it is true - remember when Magic came to Adelaide to run coaching clinics 12 odd years ago)

And it gets worse -- several months later, he kicked out a guy from the shop for been "drunk and disorderly" - the guy came back the next day and apologised, and it turned out to be Ice Cube when he toured Adelaide about 12 years ago ..... I think my Dad was lucky to survive that one!

Hustle, I'm supprised that McGuinness didn't ask you if you wanted his autograph, look up little man syndrome in the dictionary and you will see his picture. But my funny is being a crowd controller once for Luke Longley, the bloke made me feel like a midget and I don't think I'm that small. I think he would have taken care of anyone better than me.
