Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Geezer7348]

Did any one go to school with any one famous?

I was at Primary school and Secondary school with the 1st choice St Johnstone Goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert if that counts

Also was at school briefly with Elena Baltatcha (Tennis) and Sergie Baltatcha Jnr who was a footballer for St Mirren..

Other than that I dont think anybody else has achieved anything worth note

Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl in scabby student council office when they played QM Union Glasgow Uni 1992. Saw it freeeee! Don't know how that concert was ever pulled off, but feel v fortunate to have been there. Lovely men.

This is most impressive

Have tonnes more, but then I'm old.

Just cos they're famous....doesn't mean they're any better than us, so what's the fuss?

Kurt Cobain!! - my god!! Nobody can top that..unless someone on here is old enough to have met Elvis or John Lennon?

I have a Kurt Cobain calendar in my sitting room, how weird and fantastically special must it have been to have met him in person.

*monitorabbit is mightly impressed and very envious*

I met Lorraine Kelly at the last RAF Leuchars Air Show, my work do a corporate thing for our clients and as a couple of them backed out and since I live closest I got the chance to go.

She was on the table next to us in the swish Marquee so my friend's girlfriend and I went over to talk to her and got our pic taken with her.

She is an absolutely lovely woman!! No wonder Scott likes her so much!!

Shame I didn't realise how fortunate I was at the time. Think I remember demanding of them rather drunkenly (with ringing ears) why they didn't smash a guitar up on stage (as was their custom at the time); Was a student union gig not BIG enough to warrent the cost of a guitar? Also raved about their music in particularly girly way. He was very shy and sweaty, Dave was much more opinionated (in a good way) and even sweatier. Just how I like them.
