my sister was running back to work from lunch in sheffield she ran around the corner of the crucible and floored steve davis ( and herself ) she was devastated as he was my mums idol at the time and was panicking incase mum would kill her for ruining his game he went on to win that year and saved my sisters skin with my mum (I bet he was soooo relieved )

Tsk cant take him anywhere .... :rolleyes: :p

Carl Howman regularly sat in the same train carriage as me, and one morning, I presume he was in a rush (he's a big celebrity ! :o ) he knocked me over at Victoria Station in his eager bolt for the ticket barrier. :(

I survey buildings for a living and happened to be running a tape measure around The Staff floor of Virgin Megastore in London the day Dido made a PA. Bumped into her as she came out of the ladies, can't confirm if it was number ones or number twos...............

You should have got him to clean your kitchen floor as penance.

Or at least paint my house -- he used to be in the show Brushstrokes :D

I think he's a lot more famous for selling cleaning materials these days, so successfully that I can't for the life me remember the brand :confused: :D

Flash, its Flash !!! :D ;)

All right, you get your sweety, but you only just made it inside the five minute deadline. :D ;)

I pulled a pint for Russell Crowe in Australia :)

Just the one ;) :p

I wouldn't be pulling his pint ;)

i never seem to spot celebrities....i'm as blind as a bat when it comes to seeing people other than anyone i'm meant to be looking for...

once i was at the airport waiting for blue... antony came through the doors yelling random stuff... i thought to myself who's that drunk idiot? then i realised... :D oops

i saw rolf harris at the airport once! which was COOL! lmao...and a lot of people from the bill... this was a few years back so i have no idea who!

apart from that im crap at spotting celebs! except when i'm meant to be looking for them

My friend met Alistair Griffin (from Fame Academy) and got him to phone me during my college lesson :eek: The only thing is, it was in a lesson with a REALLY grumpy teacher, if he knew I had my phone on in lesson he probably would have chucked me out the class or something... and Alistair was asking me to put my teacher on the phone and I had to make all these excuses!! It was so embarrassing!! But bless Alistair he was so lovely :) I was so chuffed I got to talk to him! :D

Remember the days before GMTV we had TV-AM?

Can anyone remember the ginger moustached presenter Mike Morris?
Well for those who can, I was once in the same lift as him in a Hotel in Bristol in 1995.

Two years before that I was sitting in the reception of another Hotel but this time in Glasgow when in walked 70's/80's music nutter Peter Gabriel.

Last piece of name dropping: Two months ago I pulled a pint of John Smith's for Jackie Charlton.

I think I may have had to throw caution to the wind and attached myself surgically to his face too :o Ive got a bit of a thing about him in Gladiator ... :o

Ahem.

My brother tells me that last week he was in a large department store and saw the teeny tiny woman out of the Krankies buying some size three slippers (bet they were for her, bless). She didnt have her specs and asked him the size on the bottom.

Not a particularly bizarre encounter - but she is rather bizarre looking apparently as she was wearing, in his words, "the worst wig ever" ....

Literally banged right into Roger Lloyd Pack (Trigger) coming out of Tottenham Court Road tube station (he's huge!).

Chatted to Fin from Hollyoaks (James Redmond) at V99 in the mens bogs in the VIP area (wasn't queueing for the girls too long LOL) and he was nice but obviously thought me quite scary.

I didnt know it was him as his mate came to the bar, but then I saw the rest of the staff stuck to the window ( he sat in the beer garden ) I knew who it was. :)

was working in Dixons Romford many moons ago, when a gentleman approached me and asked for a 256mb Psion organiser...after gettng the box and putting it through the till i came around to asking him about extended warranties...he replied that money doesnt matter ect,ect...so i took his credit card alittle miffed at his dissmissiveness...
His face had got me thinking that i recognised him but i couldnt put my finger on it, and also the fact he had a big perm and had dark brown cords on with white moccasins.
When i ran his credit card through the till i looked at the name and it had
MR PAUL HARDCASTLE on it......
i looked up and went "oooh your the nananana, na nineteen, nineteen geezer aint you"!?!?!

He took his card and his purchase and said to me as he turned in a right cheesy way "thats right buddy...i am he"!

the same day Herbie Hide the boxer tried to hit me across the counter when i told him we didnt do fire alarms.

Bloody hell, are you insured? ;) :D

I have a couple of celeb encounters..

1st one.

Years ago, I was walking round Tower Records in Picadilly Circus, didn't really notice the pretty blonde girl walking in front of me. She suddenly stopped, I walked into the back of her. She turned round, gave me a dirty look, and when I apologised, I get told to mind where I was going. It was a pre-cocaine nose job Daniella Westbrook.

Also, last christmas, I saw Rachel Stevens walking up Regent Street. We had one of those embarrasing moments when we were trying to get past each other, but both going the same way around each other.. Still, I will say that Rachel is certainly very cute, although a bit short.

Oooooo, you should have given Ms Westbrook a big slap from me while you were there - there's another thing to hate about her now - she stops dead whilst shopping for no reason - I HATE people that do that!!Bint :eek: :mad:

That's funny. I was going into a charity shop in Chiswick when a woman barged past through the door and wouldn't let me through. I stood aside and let her pass and she didn't even look at me or nod or anything. I guess Daniella Westbrook's mum never taught her manners, or maybe she is just moody without her charlie.

I met Vic Reeves in the foyer of my local theatre (Simon Day was on stage). He has the most amazingly large head, totally out of proportion to his body --- its more extreme than Eddie Izzard (if you've seen him live you'll know how weird his proportions are). :D

I have just noticed this word in connection with Daniella Westbrook - surely a typo? Or a mistake of some kind? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
