Met James Thompson last night in Bristol - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Thompson_(fighter)

Since I live in the arse end of nowhere the chances of a celebrity ever being around here is pretty much nill. Although I did meet Kevin Keegan on my 14th birthday at St. James Park, really nice bloke, stood chatting with us in one of the private boxes for ages, finally left a couple of minutes before kick off.

I used to meet celebs all the time in Sketch, London...and the novelty soon wore off

I think the last "famous" person I met in there was Julia Stiles.

Had the distinct misfortune to lock eyes with Shirley from Eastenders a little while ago, it was definately her as it suddenly went cold, the wind picked up,clouds began swirling and there were bats everywhere !

Had a beer with Manny from Stone Roses in The Cockpit in Leeds a few years back, that's the only one I can think of.

I was sitting on the table next to Richard Farley in Cafe Rouge in Canterbury the other day. The guy that use to be on Dragons Den.

In the last month.

Archbishop George Carey ~ Paddinton Station
Burn Gorman (Layer Cake / Torchwood) ~ Jubilee Line @ Canary Wharf - we stared at him and he got all self conscious and pulled his t-shirt up over his face.

James May ~ riding a Triumph motorbike up the M4 wearing an open face helmet.
Lily Allen ~ Paddington Tube Station

I thought you met Yossi Benayoun, until I read the post.

I've met Joe Calzaghe (proffesional boxer).

He lives couple streets away from me.

I don't think I've ever met anyone famous randomly.

I did meet Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson from Neighbours) along with a couple of other z-listers (Elle, Stingray) from the show while in Melbourne last month, but that was an arranged event.

^Richard Farley, now there's someone interesting I'd like to meet.

Bumped into David Walliams in Soho the other week. He's not as big as he looks on the tele.

Glenn Whelan in the Chester Zoo gift shop. Most of you probably wont know who he is

Saw former England and Worcestershire cricketer Graham Hick in my local supermarket yesterday morning. He does only live just up the road though. :cool:

All he bought was 10 packs of Richmond Irish Sausages

Linda Robson (I think she's called... from Birds of a Feather), about 3pm today outside of St Pancras station, with an armfull of newspapers.

Coxyis · 10 Jul 2009 at 20:44

Paul Hudson (Look North) a couple of years ago in Sainsburys.
