I know what Charlie Boorman's getting for Christmas. I work in a book warehouse and today I packed a book on old BMW motorbikes addressed to Mrs O. Boorman in Barnes, London. Charlie lives in Barnes, and his wife's name is Oli.

My great grandpa set up the steelworks in lithgow, then expanded the steelworks to Port Kembla.

My Grandma's brother started up "Streets" paddlepops/ice cream etc.

I got to sit in the cockpit of an A380 with John Travolta.

I have met Dick Smith and been on board Dick Smith's private jet.

I managed to catch Greg Minaar's gloves when he threw them out to the crowd at Stromlo World Champs.

Lara Bingle used to live next door to my best mate.

John Howard was sitting in the row in front of me on a flight to Hong Kong back in 2000.

I saw Bryan Dawe (of Clarke and Dawe - 7:30 report) swaggering through the middle of the Hyatt in Canberra (about 100m from the exit) with sunglasses on and told him to take them off (you have to be properly famous before you can be that pretentious).

I once nearly ran over Kylie Sandilands in the channel 10 carpark. How could I have missed?

Also nearly ran over Richie Benaud while mounting the footpath on a KLR650 Kawasaki. He can move quick for an old guy.

Dropped in on Dennis Lillee at large North Point in WA as a 16 year old, got barrelled off my nut on the lid, whilst Dennis ate shit. I then told him to go in when he chastised me as I paddled back out. Dropped in on him again about 1/2 an hour later.......very lame.

Yeah, I follow him on twitter and the bastard is always posting photos of remote African moto trips or other equally awesome things he finds time to do.

The Group Bloodhound Gang has a song called 'lift your head up high and blow your brains out'
It features the lyrics
"do you own a record by Stryper?
Do you have a mongoloid cousin wearin' diapers?"

In the school holidays possibly around 1988 I somehow got to go and see the filming of an episode of 'Saturday Morning Live - with Jono an Danno'
A music film clip show prior to video hits or vh1 etc

The christian heavy metal band "Stryper" played live or via video linkup or something, I was fortunate enough to be given a signed copy of the Bands Album.... Signed by Jono and Danno

After i got home I threw it like a frisbee in the backyard.

My sister once asked me if Mongols like being called Mongoloids.

The end

In a 100k race in Austria last year i rode for about 20mins on a long climb with Gary Fisher. The old Bastard finally pulled away and he finished 3 mins in front of me.
He was complaining about having to ride 2x10 as the climbs were so tough....
