Something Special In My Pants

[Pop Bitch] Which Blue Peter presenter used to take a handful of Blue Peter badges out with him to a nightclub?

He would stuff them down his pants.

Then he would encourage any clubbers that took his fancy to have a dip.

BG Translation: Presenter = host. Took his fancy = interested him.

BG Note: Blue Peter is the longest-running children’s TV show in the world. It has been running continuously on the BBC since 1958. A Blue Peter badge is a pin awarded to child viewers and adult guests of the show. It provides the wearer with free entry to many British attractions like amusement parks and museums.

Actors Maisie Williams and Tom Hiddleston are shown above proudly wearing their Blue Peter badges.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are shown below just after receiving their Blue Peter badges.

    I saw Liam Neeson at Nobu in London. He stepped on my foot and pulled sequins off a new pair of shoes. He was very apologetic and nice.

    I never heard of Blue Peter, but I am giggling looking at the picture of Maisie and Tom, sitting there so proudly with their badges, and picturing them fishing those badges out of a guy’s pants! (you too, Kate and Will!)

    We had chateaubriand at a Beverly Hills restaurant and were told the place was popular with celebrities. We were sitting not far away from one of the Hemingway women – Mariel? or the other one. She looked exactly as she did on screen, or tv.

    No guess but I met Jared Leto and Daniel Radcliffe after some events. Jared Leto was very quiet but polite. Daniel Radcliffe was a delight.

    I used to live in NYC and used to see celebrities frequently. Mick Jagger actually ran into me when he was rushing out a building on 72 St. E. to catch a limo. He apologized profusely for running into me.

    As far as seeing famous people in restaurants, the one that stands out is sitting at a table with Ethel Kennedy on one side and Anthony Quinn at the other (in the late 80s). Another time I was with a date waiting at the bar at La Cote Basque and was about 15 feet away from Frank Sinatra.

    I’m not a Brit so I have no guess for this but I did want to say that the most famous person I have met was Martin Short at a fundraiser about ten years ago and he was super nice and completely genuine.

    When I was a kid, we ran into Archie Bunker, aka Caroll O’Connor, as we were heading out of a restaurant. He sounded nothing like Archie but apparently Archie’s colloquialisms were put on for the show & his character.

    Andy Akinwolere: Clue is “dip”, so I think it’s him because he set a pair of world records for swimming one of the deepest stretches of water.

    Much as my initial thoughts were that it would be that cokehead Bacon.

    Going with John Leslie because he has a history of being a pig around women.

    Met H.R. of Bad Brains once at a house party. He was smoking the biggest joint I’ve ever seen. Casually asked me if I’d like to marry him. Yeah, no.

    Mike Ness of Social Distortion once made me a drink at a little downstairs bar at a club in the 80s. He wasn’t bartending-just screwing around having fun. He was swoonworthy.

    John Leslie.
    Nope, but did say a quick Hello to Damien Lewis when I walked by him in my hometown. And also shared a bottle of wine with Ed Tudor-Pole haha!
