I always wanted to see a falling star but never have...

won't ask about the prank phone calls..but want to :)

so, just because I'm curious..which athlete did you meet?

I have seen a number of shooting stars, the real trick is being next to your soul mate when you DO see them.
Prank phone calls - public school upbringing, enough said.
I may have cheated with the athlete bit slightly. I took it to mean in the broad sense of "sportsman". In which case I ahve met a few cricketers, including beefy Botham, and a lot of rugby players, including Terry Holmes, Steve Fenwick, Gerald Davies, Gareth Edwards and more. And I think there is someone else I am forgetting, to be honest, apart from the Welsh rugby players, I am generally singularly unimpressed by "famous" people.

Oh well my soul mate must just be unlucky, I'll have to drag him out more often to look at the sky :)

Thats a lot of sportsmen...know what you mean about famous people though.
Apparently a friend of ours resembles Gareth Edwards.. am off to google!!
