Famous people you've met.

[The Special One]

I've met a few of my favourite bands in the last year. No one mainstream famous though. Grouplove, Reptar, Foster the People, Wolf Gang, Frank + Derol.

[Funkasy]

 

Met him in tesco about 1 month ago.

[Trumo]

 

Met him in tesco about 1 month ago.

 

Who is he?

 

In my case, the 'met' bit is pretty vague, but:

 

The Queen

Princess Diana (I was about 2 years old so I have to take my mum's word on these two, in the absense of any photographic evidence)

Richard Noble

A whole bunch of past and present Leicester Tigers (Dusty Hare, Martin Johnson, Lewis Moody, George Chuter, Tom Varndell and Martin Castrogiovanni, all in different places rather than some match or event where they were all together)

A whole bunch of Leicester City f******lers

Maxi Jazz

Tamara Ecclestone

 

I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

[littletedwest]

Dave Whelan.

El hadj diouf

emile heskey

andy fordham

georgia may foote

abdoule faye

victor moses

 

they were all okay apart from one of them. surprising considering that two of them have reputations for being twats.

and the twat was Victor moses who was an utter cunt.

[littletedwest]

Fred West is a good one, what a rascal that lad was.

[Adebisi]

I offered Craig Charles a line after a DJ set. He did not look happy. I imagine he'd have looked even madder if he did want one, cos I didn't have anything on me.

[George Costanza]

Paul Bettany, Russell Crowe & Peregrin Took from LOTR in a bar in London.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Most/all of my encounters have been negative because I've been a dick.

 

Dennis Healey near Parliament on a school trip around 1981 ("are you Mike Yarwood?")

 

John Thaw outside Lewis's in town (around 1986/7) when he was filming: "you're nicked" was totally ignored.

 

His wife, Sheila Hancock, in 2008 (didn't ask her about the snub as it was water under the bridge by then).

 

Keira Knightly - tried to chat her up in Teddington in 2005 but her mum came out of the polling station and she turned into a shy girl (she was legal at the time by the way). Yes, politics can be exciting.

 

Peter Hitchens - took part in a debate against him in 2008. He is clever but a total twat. Changed the subject when his hypocrisy was pointed out.

 

Some of the La's at a party in 1986 in Toxteth - I think one of them was chasing the dragon. Not sure as my head was fucked 10 seconds after entering the attic.

 

Ainsley Harriot - got barged out the way in a Cafe Nero in Wandsworth Common whilst he looked at the cakes like a kid in a sweet shop.

 

Anthony Hopkins - in Waterstones in the West End last year. thought I knew him and said alright mate how are you doing? He looked confused and I realised who he was and left.

 

Nick Cave - Kemp Town festival a few weeks ago. Just said 'hi' to him. Best celebrity meeting ever.

Met Jay Rayner today in the food market behind the Southbank. Big bloke and seemed nice enough. He was laying into some tasty falafels with his family

One hell of a gardener too.

Saw that other food critic Charles Campion in a Balham curry house a few years ago. His neck is wider than his waist!

Tamara Ecclestone

 

.

 

I like her, she looks like she's been designed to harvest men's souls.

Who is this person?

[zigackly]

Fred West

 

Many moons ago when I was a teenager we moved from Malvern to Worcester and as I wasnt old enough to have a moped, used to hitchhike to and from in order to see mates etc.

 

The one day I got a lift off a bloke and a young girl and i was on the front bench seat of their van, next to the door with the young girl between me and the driver. I saw him nudge her and she put her hand between my legs and looked at me with sad eyes (fuck off before anyone starts). I looked at him and saw him leering at her. Anyway, we got to a roundabout and he slow down and i jumped the fuck out.

 

I'm 100% sure it was Fred West and his daughter. When it all came to light I read that a number of victims were from Worcester and he used to go trawling with his daughter and watch her shag blokes

 

Fella I know was in a shop in Ledbury once and overheard one older lady say to another "I shagged that Fred West. He were no good." As someone who has probably been to Ledbury, you can imagine the accent properly for the full effect.

Jesus fucking Christ- you'd keep that one to yourself!

In Ledbury they normally keep it in the family.

Who is this person?

 

Author, restaurant critic in the Observer and sometime tv personality

Only the A list for me and as i've never met anybody else remotely famous i thought i'd mention it

[Rico1304]

I met Alex Stewart, Mike Gatting, Neil Fairbrother and Paul Collingwood last year. All were brilliant except Stewart who was an arrogant arsehole.

[RJ Fan club]

I met Alex Stewart' date=' Mike Gatting, Neil Fairbrother and Paul Collingwood last year. All were brilliant except Stewart who was an arrogant arsehole.[/quote']

 

Me and mates went to a questions and answer session with Gatt and other cricketers before a test match a few years ago.

 

Cracking session, loads of good cricket chat. Except for Gatting as he got annoyed as the only questions he got were about food.

 

I think questions included, where did the best tea Gatt? Did you like the food on tour? Did you boycott curry after the umpire argument? All a bit silly really, but it was funny.

To be fair Gatt did have his lunch with us so stayed at our table longest!

alec stewart gave me a lancashire cricket cap at huyton cricket club in about 99. seemed decent enough.

That's like me giving away a Utd hat, means nothing to him. Honestly all the people there had the same opinion. All the rest were personable and happy to chat but he was aloof and arrogant.

I met Nigel Benn, briefly, during his DJ phase. I was whizzing my tits off at the time. He's smaller than I thought he'd be, I remember thinking 'fucking hell, I reckon I could do him'. Don't know if I was thinking out loud, he read my mind, or he's just used to motorheads, but the look he gave me definitely said 'no you fucking couldn't pal'.

As a schoolboy I boxed at the same show as Zammo from grange hill. He was a talented boxer and could have probably made a living as a pro, but once the smack gets hold of you...

I've also met John Conteh and Charlie Magri (seperately), both very nice people.

I can well imagine "shaaaaaagged"

 

Apparently he used to hang around under the corn exchange building, the one on stilts. Not him, the building, that would have been silly Fred West on stilts, mind you he was a short bloke.
