I used to see Fergal Sharkey around where I lived in North London quite regularly but then he started getting the same train as me to Milton Keynes (don't ask)! What the hell was he doing that for?

My ex was once presented with a handful of pills (Vicodin, she thinks) by Shane McGowan as thanks for helping him negotiate his way out of the toilets at Max Fish bar after he managed to lock himself in for over an hour.
That would have been exciting enough in itself.
Now spill the beans please, your Dexedrine tip-off is too oblique for me.

Was he really smug and annoying back then?

I doubt it somehow, I met the guy later and he was into acid techno. Seemed like a nice bloke. Apparently when they got together she didn't know who he was, she just assumed he was a criminal or something because he never seemed to work but he had enough money. Then one time she asked what that thing on the mantelpiece was and he said "Oh that? It's just my Ivor Novello".
Hung out with Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum, E.A.R.) for a bit when he played Silverlake earlier this year, and "contributed to the myth of Sonic's legendary er, usage", so to speak. Funny guy, he had a real bratty sense of humor. He signed my buddy's "grower's licence", on the seal, which I think was pretty fitting.
edit: How could I forget... I also had a chat with Irmin Schmidt of Can about electronic music, after seeing him speak at Cal Arts. If there is anything that could top getting Sonic Boom high (for me) so far, that'd be it.

Not quite as cool as the above but I did have a chat with Sonic after an E.A.R. performance about 5 or 6 years back. We spoke about the gig and his change in musical direction and I bought a real nice heavyweight vinyl copy of the Vibrations EP from him. I then thanked him for all the great music he'd done over the years which felt pretty good
Got a few more too...
Bought some cds from Philip Jeck and Janek Schaefer after a joint gig they did back in the early 00s. I was the only one who stayed behind so got to have a chat too. PJ was quiet but JS explained to me that PJ was "the originator" (or something similar) and that it was his Loopholes cd (which I was in the process of buying) which had led to JS pursuing a similar route.
Interviewed 808 State for the local uni rag back in 1990 after seeing them live. Baggy shorts back then I can tell ya
Myself and a mate were at the bar with Danni Siciliano after one of her gigs drinking Sambucas. When she went to drink hers my mate tipped her elbow and she spilled it all over the place. Sticky... (So I guess this is actually his as opposed to mine) In any case, apologies Danni...
Claude Young (Techno artist and DJ) bought me a pint of Guinness once. Real nice guy...
Oh and I had a chat with Mike Patton a few years back at a Young Gods gig. He explained how they were his favourite band.

Having a nice chat or getting pleasantly stoned with a famous person does not really count as 'tenuous or absurd' does it?

Never found him so - whereas Baddiel is a totally annoying twat
