I guess the 'Just say no' campaign didn't work for everyone, then...

Whilst walking the dog this morning, I saw Dean from Big Brother 2.

At a golf tournament here a couple of years ago I was sat on the next table to two former Austrian international goalkeepers - Alex Manninger and Friedrich Koncilia (World Cup 82).

Way back on the way home from Tranmere in a league cup mid week game, I was at motorway services having a piss when Tony Currie, Steve Wicks and Tommy Docherty walked in. Round about the same era on the train back from West Brom I shared a carriage with Sir Alf Ramsey, Malcolm Allison and the bloke who played David Hunter from Crossroads.

Several years ago, I was in a lift in Ripleys Believe It Or Not in London, apparently with the World's shortest man - Afshin Ghaderzadeh (2ft 1in). I say apparently - I didn't see him.

I thought I saw him in Lewes recently. Thought it was just a lookalike so maybe it was him.

Some years ago, when my lad was young enough to enjoy childrens' playgrounds, we were down at Hove Lagoon, and Paul McCartney held the gate open for us. He said 'you were here first, you come through'. A gentleman.

I had to break my stride when leaving a train at Euston because Tony Bloom was exiting the toilet in a hurry. I didn't say anything because, well, he was in a hurry.
My partner once - literally - bumped into Kenny Dalglish on a Glasgow street. She said he had a nice coat.
Griff Rhys Jones asked me for directions, and on another occasion Mel Smith was in the same queue as me when buying a train ticket.

Last season I was in the Eddy watching C*****a v Fulham with 3 other Cottagers. We were surrounded by fans of the sh*t team in SW6, including Kirk Brandon from Theatre Of Hate & Spear of Destiny. We exchanged looks as our table got louder and they all got quieter.
Nearly 30 years ago I was working at the gym at the Houses of Parliament. One day I was in the changing rooms bagging up the dirty towels (it was such a glamorous job), when some chap decided to engage in conversation with me. As I started talking to this guy I realised it was Paddy Ashdown, I then realised that he was standing on the scales whilst he was talking to me and that he was stark bollock naked. I made sure I kept complete eye contact with him for the duration of the conversation.

I met David Gower in a NatWest in High Holborn in the 80s and said "hello David what are you doing here?" He was doing some bank promotion.
I was in a pub in Glencoe in the 90s, when I realised the man in the lurid sky blue tracksuit sitting right next to me was Jimmy Savile. Needless to say he was with a young person. I ignored him but overhearing his conversation you could tell he was dodgy as hell.
I also offered Morrissey a drink in the Edinburgh Castle in Camden in the 90s but he said no thanks. Then I realised the woman he was sitting with was Chrissie Hynde. I was in my games kit after a softball game in Regent's Park so didn't stop to chat further.

Ah you just reminded me.
At Latitude Festival 2008. Sigur Ros were playing. Me and my friends were enjoying them, but there were some chavs (I don't particularly like the phrase, but to give you an idea of what was happening) nearby taking the piss out of Jonsi’s high voice and generally being annoying and well not what you expect in a Sigur Ros crowd.
The "chavs" turned out to be the Arctic Monkeys.

Oh Yes, last year I was in a London Museum and was climbing the stairs, Hugh Dennis was coming down.
We gave each other a smile but I never said a word about the Now Show, actually didn't say anything.
