My brother in law is sort of a rock star. Well, not really. They are not popular over here. In fact, they Do draw bigger numbers in Europe. No one will have heard of them so not sure what you will Make of that. Not really sure what to Say or Think about that either.

BTW, the band name is in the above. I really am sure no one will have heard of this Canadian band with two drummers (he is one of them), no vocals, that plays "space rock". I have been to their shows, there are some odd folk there, often people will break into interpretive dance (I am sure those ones are high).

So would this chap be Greg Napier who plays drums in the band "Think About Life" from Quebec?

No. Never heard of them, honestly.

On reflection they are probably the Ontario band "Do Make Say Think"

Your google Kung Fu is strong. Now I will confirm that no one has heard of them

[rbarry]

Can't say I have heard of them but they probably haven't heard of me either!

I met Russell Brand about 7 years ago when he was starting out in stand up.

Probably the best celebrity I have ever met is Muttiah Muralitharan the leading test wicket taker of all time.

In the early 1970's my father was on a transatlantic flight travelling from the UK to New York. The person in the seat behind my father kept shuffling around and would unintentinally kick the seat in front of him. After about half an hour of this behaviour my dad had had enough, stood up and turned around to confront the guy.

He seemed familiar in a "caddish" way, so my father, who was prone to judge a book by it's cover, proceeded to remonstrate with the man, complaing about his behaviour for the last half an hour. The man apologised to my father profusely and said he was unaware what he had been doing but recognised how annoying it must have been. It was then that my dad recognised the man, who joined him in conversation for the rest of the flight.

I have a postcard with a picture of an airborne VC10 on the cover, and on the back is written:

"To Richard, all the very best, Terry Thomas."

Terry Thomas died in 1990 from Parkinsons disease, which may explain how my father came to meet him.

The song is Feeder's 'Buck Rogers'.

My brother is 'Maud' the gutarist on the skateboard.
