I'd like to meet:
Myself about 18 years ago and give me a really good talking to. What an Idiot.
I would really like to have spoken to Buddy Holly to advise him about that plane journey. He had loads more to give.
I've met Ad Rock backstage at the SECC a few years ago. A Bit Tipsy! Discussed high word scores and obscure words to play for scrabble and some musical influences.
I shook the hand of the lovely Kurt Wagner also.
