Apart from Me!

JAYJO

Who is the most famous person youve had a message/email from on the internet and what did they say. You can count youtube etc.  But i must reiterate you can not count me!   ie I dont count so dont  even go there.   I will go first because its my Thread!  
David Walliman said Thanks!  made my day.

Bellycaster

Nigella Lawson


"Stop loitering around my house or I will take legal action".

Bezzer

Paul Gilbert.

A friend didn't tell me but sent him a cover I did of one of his tracks and gave him my email address.  He sent me a really nice message saying he enjoyed it.  Which was almost certainly a lie, but a very, very nice one.

TTony

Without being so crass as to name names, I've had quite a few emails over the years from  members of various royal families.





Mainly Nigerian.

EricTheWeary

I've told the long version of this a few times on here but the short version is email correspondence with Steve Cropper ( okay, about the BBC snooker theme tune). 

I've also had online replies from Joe Bonamassa and Mary Spender ( well, she's kinda famous here). 

DrCornelius

A certain Gaz Coombes (in part thanks to a very nice chap on here).

Greg Koch

Frank Bruno and Stephen Fry ( both work related)

Kinioo

...few emails from lovely far east/Africa people saying there is a fault with my PC and if I could get in touch with them...ideally with my bank/PIN details...

munckee

Fish from Marillion, the bass player from jamiroquai and a girl from emmerdale I had never heard of, all work related.

VimFuego

Mike Harding, he thanked me for my erm, decorating tips.

Oh and Phil Beer said will do when I asked him to let me know if he decided to split the two fiddles he was selling. 

Sassafras

Trump speaks to me regularly on Twitter.

axisus

Joey Bull thanked me for my funny email about 10 years ago ...

boogieman

Had an email from John Snow, the C4 newsreader once. 

Guitar_Slinger

Football commentator and former Liverpool player Jim Beglin. Last year I sent him a photo of my guitars and amps and we had a little email exchange about it.

WTF!?! Guitars, I hear you say! We were neighbours in Liverpool when I was a teenager - he was with me in Rushworth's music shop when I bought my first guitar.

Vibetronic

Ron Thal, years and years ago when he was less busy.

Guitar_Slinger

^ ^ I remember reading a Ron Thal webpage years ago, something about Vigier guitars which IIRC mentioned "James Went, from Wales, England". That's geetarfreak, innit!

57Deluxe

only last week... Paul Jones from BBC R2 when I msg'd him re sorry he is leaving his great show... He mailed back thanking me for my kind wishes...

bloodandtears

Had an email conversation with Chantel McGregor about her choice of gear...

Not sure who's the most famous at this point in time...I've swapped emails (and phone calls) with both Pat Badger and Rob Chapman, so there's that.

Mike Soldano's another one, I suppose, but I suspect he's pretty low-key compared to those two, as is David Wallimann (nearly ended up doing a website refresh for him). And, in a different space entirely, I suppose you could count Sam Roddick.

Also, Geoff Capes once tried it on with my wife (he opened a gym in my town, and wifey worked there briefly until it became clear that he wouldn't stop with his unwanted advances). That involved a lot of angry shouting (and mild terror) on my part.

VimFuego

just to check, restraining orders don't count. right?

The Geoff Capes story reminds me of Ricky Hatton's one joke about what do you do if you find Mike Tyson in bed with your wife, tuck him in.  Of all the people to take a shine to your missus.  Did you tell your mates "hold me back, no really hold me back!!"

Of course the answer is it doesn't matter how tough they are if you run them through with a bayonet!
