we are just doing a job making an aircraft hanger size pool in concrete for a movie company, we do The Bill studio's work already, its a huge project and it will all be dismanteled when its finished filming. Hope we get a hunky star!!! ( cost about £85K)

I wonder if they want a smellie cocker as an extra im sure he is film start quality if not film star smell!!! guess who has been in the 'orse pooh again today!

Aww  bless - sounds like my cockers -love horse or fox poo lol!! Of course they should have him as an extra -who can resist those cocker eyes...

Awww!!

Just think, when he has got his name in lights, I'll be able to say -  Hey!  I met him on champdogs!  :-)

Wow sounds like you have a great job!!!!
My friend's bloke is a military vehicle expert - he does tanks, jeeps etc - he's often away working on film sets and was an extra in Saving Private Ryan.

The blokes love the film set at The Bill they get to have a bacon butty with the stars, who are in the main very ordinary.

> butty with the stars,

Stars???  :)

People on the tele my lot are easily pleased. When they went on the underground for the first time (some had never left Hampshire) Colin had to show them what to do!!

We worked in HofP and they knicked the bags of sugar with the potcullis logo on it to show their mates. I had one guy that was so petrified he kept checking where the van was in case they left him in London. Now they know it like the back of their hands.

> who are in the main very ordinary.

That's because they are . 

Ive meet a couple who threw and absolute wobbly and had us off site. The really really worst is Mariah Carey. The next worst was Tom Hanks and Mick Jaggar  told the guys to f--- --f. Pierce Brosnan reacted the best when woken at 3am and being told that we had asked for that room to be kept clear.

The others were mega diva's especially Ms Carey who did not like the loo in the alternative penhouse and put a huge job back 2 weeks because she sleeps during the day! in the penhouse she wanted not the other one and at £6500 a night Claridges stopped the job.

A friend of mine is an events steward/ security at organised events like concerts etc and he told me about Ricky Gervais... apparently when he leaves his dressing room he makes all the staff in the corridors on the way to the stage, turn around and face the walls. They have to be in silence and never make eye contact... as far as I'm concerned any way... Ricky Gervais... who?

I'd say that might be due to terrible nervousness.... 
I know someone who has met him and apparently he is really warm, friendly and down-to-earth, very genuine. I could easily see how he suffers from nerves - a lot of actors and public figures do. Plus he is a really committed dog and animal lover so he can't be that bad! lol Wasn't it a couple of years ago he put up a £2,000 reward when his neighbours Staffy was stolen? The dog was found eventually, having being sold on to someone in Portsmouth, and returned to its owner.

That was nice of him!
