Celebrities/sportsmen/sportswomen in Unlikely Places

[BlockDpete]

I sold Mary Decker (US athlete Zola Budd tripped up during the LA Olympics) and choc ice in the newsagent in Crawley where I worked as a teenager. Must have been around 1985.

My brother bumped into Chris Eubank by accident walking along the street. Eubank said sorry.

Cilla Black doing her gardening, in wellies and a cardie, spotted from Denis Wise's conservatory.

Heidi Range (Sugababes) in her apartment block lift with some boyband kid who was apparently also famous.

Rachel Stevens (she's TINY!) at her home in London

Diana Rigg - who answered the door to me in her nightie, made me a cuppa, and didn't give a sh*t. Lovely lady. I could have spent all day talking to her - she's got some stories, I tell thee!

Are you a plumber, and what's your chat up line?

I'm not sure if planes are strange places but I've seen quite a few famous people. Sat behind the two lesser known Sex Pistols once. Arctic Monkeys. The Kooks. Bloke from Slaves. Hot Chip twice. Sat across from Dame Shirley Williams once. Andy Weatherall come to immediate mind.

No he didn't, Eubank stepped in front of him. Probably still upset that no-one in the bus had waved at him.

A few years ago, when he was playing for Hampshire, found myself browsing through the same racks in TK Maxx as Shane Warne.

Tony Adams (Adam Chance in Crossroads) in the Collonade bar at the Theatre Royal. He was telling me about his boat at the Marina which he lived on.

Paul Yates barged into me coming out of a shop in Oxford Street, called me an c##t and said I needed to watch where I was going and started rambling obscenities to my then girlfriend. Absolute lunatic. Two days later she was dead.

Ah the collonade bar ! I used to work a few doors down from there, was chatted up by Barbara Windsor in there !!

 

[Icy Gull]

That's quality - wonder if they did meet in the bar.

I loved the way that he just assumed that I knew what Arthur Browne looked like, which clearly I didn't unless he had turned up with fire coming from a mask and semi naked. Anyway I was there to meet a girlfriend, and left when she arrived so I have no idea how it all worked out

On another occasion I was checking in behind Nikki Lauda's wife who was checking in about 12 pieces of luggage, not impressed!!

She used to live in a Mayfair flat that adjoined the office I worked in (mid 90s). Often said hello as she was regularly out on the roof garden with her kids, and we used ours for lunch/fag breaks etc
