I met pete hook in salford sainsburys........

had to be salford. could not believe my eyes there i am saturday in sainsburys putting the shopping on the conveyor belt, looked behind at a kid whining a little and there is hookey. turn to my girlfriend and said 'fuck thats pete hook at my till'

heart starts pumping butterflies in the stomach fuck,fuck,fuck pete hook behind me salford sainsburys - surreal or what.

right i thought pack the shopping wait till hookey, who is with family is less occupied and then introduce yourself.

walked up to him said 'its pete hook isn't it' 'yes' he said please to meet you' i said he asked my name i replied. then asked 'what you doing in sainsburys' what i ment to say was 'i thought you were in australia what are you doing in sainsburys' he replied 'same as you shopping!'

you know how it is mind goes blank.....

anyway i've met my hero and i was chuffed as trumpers replayed the incident over and over in the head and had a massive smile for the rest of the day.

wanted to tell everyone, not many knew the magnitude of the meeting and its only today that i've had access to my computer to share the experience with you all.

he came across just how i thought he'd be down to earth and very sincere.

SALFORD RULES!

I was standing by the till when I saw your face I couldn't look at you I guess you knew it but I never realised that the line had moved Now I'm unpacking all alone every grocery bag that I own you can't take that away And with every bite I take of every souffle that I bake We'll meet again someday

And I was touched by the hand of God I never knew it, but of course I was...

Sorry to be a party pooper Liv, but you won't find your beloved Barney there - he now prefers to shop in Sainsbury's in Alderley Edge (where all the fat rich fuckers go)...tee hee hee.....

That is pure genius...

Liv, if you're as Bernard obsessed as me maybe we can become real freaks and go and spy on his house of a weekend?

Hi Nick,

I can sense your enthusiasm from here, I know what you're talking about too as the day we meet them here in Melbourne I could swear that I could walk over hot coals as I was on such a high. I was so excited and wanted to tell the word that I was Touched and kissed my the hand and lips of Hooky. He's so nice too as you mentioned.

So pleased that you shared this story with us.

Could I come along on your stakeouts? I could lay my hands on some walkie talkies and non-perishable foodstuffs neccessary for such a project...:D

Failing that, Liv, fancy a bev once you're in the Manchester area, get in touch ;)

Oh, and I once saw Hooky sat by the window of Dry Bar when I was walking past, and made my mate walk back the other way so I could clock a proper look. Didn't have the guts to go in and speak to him though.....:(
