David Bowie used to hide under the table to avoid Roger Moore

[the dark one]

Oh aye, it was the couple you met on holiday wasn't it?

Knew them before the holidays.youre not doing very well here.Must do better.

I used to love that! Mick and Keith running the corner shop. I must try and find some on you tube.
I was watching some the other week, brilliant!

 

[Son of Stan]

I found some. That's me sorted. I always liked John Sessions. And I prefer Phil Cornwell's Michael Caine to the real thing!

Not sure I've hidden totally but I've tried to stay very still and ignore the door on a few occasions.

Meeting people in the street is thing I dislike, especially if they're going in the same direction as me and have a tendency to walk too slowly. I've also started trying to avoid the local benign nut job. He lives along the road and seems okay at first (well, as okay as you can be as someone who regularly goes and sits out on a bench near his house to have a cigarette and a can of Stella) then after being derailed by him two or three times, you realise that he will manouvre it round to Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe books (and/or the TV adaptation) and from there (via brief mention of Napoleon) to the SAS who are indoubtedly already in North Korea, in deep cover, in case things kick off.

Sounds canny cool. Love a good Sharpe novel.

Not surprised, Roger Moore was creepy as fuck ​

That twat Bowie done the same when I used to turn up!

 

[jayjaysafc]

Our lasses grandad comes round all the time at the most awkward times and always wants to stay for a cup of tea and to tell the same stories. Not going to lie we’ve hid a few times including the kids

I used to do this, then he died suddenly one night and I beat myself up about it for years. Still do 20 years later

I'd forgotten those! Both brilliant. I'm working my way through them. I'm a bit distracted as I realise whenever Jimmy Hill's on I keep pulling a similar face.

Aye I'm gonna start on them tomorrow on me day off...may as well make the most of the day! Hopefully I won't start quoting Pesci and threatening customers at work!

He thought you were the rentman.

 

[Skandhaless]

Relative of Roger's?

I used to hide behind the settee from this woman and she'd actually peer through the sitting room window. I had to bribe the cats not to point at me crouching down.

Provi?

Bloody hell man, most of us on here pay good money for worse entertainment than that.

You say that as though there's something amiss in doing what he's doing.

A new book tells the story that when David Bowie moved to Switzerland at the end of the 70s, he didn’t know anybody there.

One day, about half-past five in the afternoon, there’s a knock on the door, and there he was: ‘Hello, David.’ Roger Moore comes in, and they had a cup of tea. He stays for drinks, and then dinner, and tells lots of stories about the James Bond films. They had a fantastic time - a brilliant night.

But then, the next day, at 5.30… Knock, knock, it’s Roger Moore. He invites himself in again, and sits down: ‘Yeah, I’ll have a gin and tonic, David.’ He tells the same stories - but they’re slightly less entertaining the second time around.

It was apparently here where the burgeoning friendship came to an end. After two weeks of Moore turning up at 5.25pm - literally every day - David Bowie could be found underneath the kitchen table pretending not to be in.

Brilliant. We've all done it. I used to hide behind the settee from a boring friend of my sister's.

We did the same in our house but it was always from the rent or the provi gadgie.

To be fair though we pop and see him all the time and he comes down regularly there are just times when it’s the wrong time.

I wondered why we hadn't seen much of Walter recently...
