Next to Glenn Hoddle in queue at Tescos other day
Amazingly mate mine recognised Brian Hanrahan in Moon pub in Shepherd's Bush. 30 years after his famous Falkland BBC news
Saw Tony Meo next to Steve Davis, and randomly only recognised Tony Meo and Mr Steve heard my recognition of his mate as opposed to him !!!
Another friend randomly recognised Statto at Royal Ascot of Skinner and Baddiel fame.
Was sat next Steve Rider at Bracknell rugby game. Of Grandstand 'fame"
Few very z list celebs indeed
Anyone randomly bumped into any mega stars
Remember seeing Alan Ball pop into bookies in Portsmouth to check out his loser. No one said anything.
Saw Colin Jackson 100 metre hurdler in his GB kit at an airport in Milan, looked ridiculously healthy and fit.
Anyone had an exchange with a celeb....
I must be bored !!!! 😴 [Post edited 12 Jan 2023 18:38]

Bon Scott of AC/DC in 1978 on the Powerage tour. A good school mate of mine worked at the Odeon and he got me in backstage. I watched them soundcheck Riff Raff and then Bon stopped to say hi to everyone. |  | | |

Have been very lucky and in some cases not so lucky to meet in no particular order:
Tony Blair
Shinzo Abe
Laskmi Mittel
Flavio Briatore
Bernie Ecclestone
Prince Edward
Sir Les
Jim Gregory
Eric Bristow
Paul Weller
Brian O'Driscoll
Andy Farrell
Sit Trevor McDonald
Baldrick
Michael Caine (not many people know that)
Boy George
Timothy Spall
Martin Chivers
Ayrton Senna
Michael Schumacher
Damon Hill
Topper Headon
Norman Watt Roy
David Weir
Bryan Cranston
Sir Geoff Hurst
Numerous QPR players, Danny Shittu among the nicest.
Few more I forget and a ecletic bunch.
Finally one person I never want to meet again. Stood on my own watching my son playing cricket and he gets to bowl the final over. Group of parents from the oppostion standing in awe as Gary Lineaker plays court. He very loudly says to the group, watch this, my son George will cream this kid. My lad clean bowls him so I couldnt resist calling out, well bowled son, lucky the Lineakers are better at football. Horrible arrogant person. |
That doesn't surprise me in the least about Lineker. Read a lot of stories over the years that he is an arrogant so and so.
And the least said about his brother the better |  |

On a slight tangent - I read this morning that the blue plaque scheme is going nationwide instead of just London.
I've always found them interesting.
Some in West London - Noel Coward, James Hunt, Hitchcock, Frank Whittle the jet engine man, Mahatma Ghandi ( yes, really ), Sid James, a few Gustav Holsts. |  | | |

They may not be as widespread but I’m fairly sure that there are already blue plaques outside London? I certainly saw one for ‘Woodes Rogers - Great Seaman’ in Bristol years ago and apparently ABBA have one in Brighton. There’s quite a few I think. |  | | |

We've got one on our flat in Brighton for an author Edward Carpenter. I really should read one of his books one day [Post edited 6 Sep 2023 16:13]

Just checked the story in the Times, they definitely say London only.
I seem to remember though that there is a sort of less official blue plaque that maybe can be seen around the country. To qualify for the London blue plaque:
Must be dead for at least twenty years
Not a fictional character
Must have lived in London
Stop press….just seen that there are 34 plaques outside London that were fitted between 2000 and 2005 but then reverted to London only.
Can't have these provincials having blue plaques donchaknow old bean. | | | |
