Meeting all the movers and shakers:
they're not epeleptic, they're famous folk.

Dont you know who I am?
Johnathan Rhys-Davies
"Please, PLEASE leave me alone, do you want money, is that what you're after?"
While in St. Albans some time ago, just outside London's M25, we bumped into Johnathan Rhys-Davies (AKA Professor Arturo of Sci-Fi TV shoe sliders).

TS: So, brings you to St. Albans
Johnathan Rhys-Davies: I live here actually. Listen, I'm in a bit of a rush, I don't usually talk to fans.
TS: So how's life been since you left the show?
J.R-D: Show, what show? What are you talking about?
TS: The TV show, anyway are you going to shift into films.
J.R-D: Well, I'm working on a very high profile one with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise at the moment...
(Since this interview Tom and Nicole instead went on to work with Stanley Kubrick in 'Eyes Wide Shut', the film with Johnathan Rhys-Davies obviously fell by the wayside)
TS: So, you've finally hit the big time?
J.R-D: In fairness I hit that many years ago, look what do you want?
TS: Yes, but movies with big stars, it's a long way from the Valleys.
J.R-D: Listen, have you any idea who I am? I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
TS: Well, Johnathan, it's been great talking to you, slide by the site sometime.
J.R-D: Please just step away from my car and leave me alone.



Bill Gates
Microsoft Supremo Bill Gates
"Get away from the van, and I'll be on my way"
When we went to the shop for some munchies the other night, the TS crew were shocked and stunned to meet Microsoft bigwig, Bill Gates, filling his van with unleaded, here's out chat:

TS: Bill, welcome to Cardiff
Bill Gates: What was that, Buttie?
TS: Wow, you've really picked up the welsh accent
BG: Well, I've lived in the Pont all my life, what do you mean?
TS: listen, what our reader are all wondering is when will we see a new bug-free windows release
BG: Windows? Is it double glazing your're after?
TS: So you're saying the new release is double protected? Will that prevent system crashes?
BG: They'll have a hard time breaking in if you buy the glazing, buttie, do you want a quote?
TS: Ooh, yes please (We hold up our tape machine).
BG: No, I'll have to see the house first.
TS: What are you on about, Bill? Are you on drugs or something?
BG: Lookit, Buttie, I'm a busy man, alright? I have 6 windows to deliver tonight, so I'll..
TS: Oh Come on, you don't expect us to believe you deliver the windows yourself do you, that's a bit much.
BG: I don't care just get away from the van and I'll be on my way.
TS: Just for that I'm upgrading to Linux.


Giddy Up
Garth Brooks
Getting oiled up for his pick up.
While looking for some 3 in one oil at the motor shop, who did we run into, but country music sensation, Garth Brooks.

Garth Brooks: You haven't see where they keep the lube is this goddamn place, have ye boy?
TS: Garth, things have been quiet from you of late, what's going on?

TS: Sorry, I know you pride your privacy, but what about the next release. Will it rock?
GB: Will which what? Just who in tarnation are you?
TS: ..It's just that a lot of people have said that you can't pull it off like you used to, how do you respond to that?
GB: "Pull it off"? Dagnabbit, I'll respond, ye varmint. Just wait till I get my shotgun outa the station wagon.
TS:Now, now, lets not be hasty [edging towards door], I'll see you on the ranch some time, ok?
