I have actually wee'd next to that solo artist, world famous, quite a recluse.

That's right..CHESNEY HAWKES...follow that!

I do hope it was in an appropriate place and not due to the excitement of meeting him ....

Oh cheers for that , now I've got that bl**dy song going through my head, 'I am, the one and....' Yeah, right..... course you are...

yeah it was in a toilet, i was drunk and said "bloody hell, you look like Chesney Hawkes" and it turns out it was him. I then said "but you look exactly the same as you did when you were famous, you havent aged at all" and he said thanks and went..ha ha

but to my utter joy, the beach party i was at had him performing ALL hist hits, he also did an amazing version of John Lennon's Imagine...oh yes.

Did you shake hands with him?

ok. My mate lived in the house that they used as his house, on the film the one and only.

Its on long furlong drive, on the Britwell estate,( which was where 90% of the film was shot) in slough. right next to Kenedy park. which was the park i used to walk my old dog Judy.

and Chesneys dad Chip, lived just around the corner from me, and that house.
and the pub scenes in the film, were all shot in the Jolly Londener pub on wentworth avenue, which is right next door to my doctors.

and one of the days they filmed there, ( daltry wasnt around at the time) i had to go to the doctors with a water works infection.
