Last week, the bloke with black, curly hair from Green Wing. Yesterday, Howard Moon, who I thought was quite fit until we got up close and personal, as it were.

I never get to see anyone famous, just out and about.
I fed Freddy Starr's parrot once. And I remember a young, morbidly obese, version of me chasing Frank Bruno's car across a field at a village show in the attempts at getting an autograph. The poor guy, I'm guessing that's when his problems started.

Jill Halfpenny pushed me out the way running for the tube the other day.

I saw David Badiel wearing a suite on my road (Charlotte Street). I've seen Bill Oddy four times since going to uni. Does that make us friends?

Jeremy Sheffield jogged past me once on the way to work. I smiled all morning.

I saw the camp gardener of one of the UKStyle gardening programmes (Garden Rivals?) on the tube last summer and have met the Chuckle Brothers (including the two other guys off it). Barry eyed up my friend, it was great.
My mum on the other hand took George Best's barstool when he was at a health spa 'detoxing' and got into '5 second rule' debate with him. Oh, and nearly knocked over Kate Adie in the market. The woman can survive war-torn countries but heaven forbed she crosses my mum.

Colin & Justin sitting in every coffee shop window in Glasgow.
Oh sorry, it's only meant to be celebrities isn't it.

I am assured it was Ant and Dec (well, Ant, anyway) that I saw in Durham a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, I forgot, I've bumped into Henry Kelly quite a few times; once in Crouch End and once in Marlow. I read somwhere recently that he's turned into Alan Partridge and can regularly be found boring the bloke who works in some middle-of-nowhere service station.

They remind me of straight men who are pretending to be gay stereotypes and just getting it wrong. Much like their 'design.'

They were buying all sorts of vile shit too, as if they were drawn to the least tasteful things in the building. If they weren't going to end up in some poor member of the publics home I'd have found it funny.

Once got chatting in a bus queue to the second cousin of a woman whose husband thinks he once saw Noelle Gordon buying bratwurst in a Birmingham deli.
Techically, I think that makes me a minor celebrity, thrice removed.

I saw Nikki Sanderson and her gormless goon of a boyfriend on the tube in London a couple of months back. I threw her a filthy look as you do. I think it worked as they got off at the next stop.

I get excited when I see my local MP. The closest I've ever come to seeing a famous person was when Blue Peter were filming on the Big Wheel in Edinburgh at Christmas about 4 years ago and I was on the opposite side of the wheel... I don't know his name but the presenter was quite good looking.

In the last few days, I've seen Les Dennis and Barbara Windsor (not together). Babs is about 3 feet tall with two foot of hair!

Babs Windsor is one of those people you just don't think is real. If I ever saw her I'd just want to tickle her so that she did that amzing laugh.

When Paul Shane (Hi di Hi) was doing Oliver at the Palladium I used to see him getting a coffee or breakfast from the cafe nearby in a string vest and what looked like his pyjama bottoms. He used to look quite irritated when people stared at him, but he looked so strange you couldn't help it.

I see a lot of celebs out clubbing, Jordan rolling out of anywhere with a bar while pregnant, i saw Michelle Heaton and that pea head she is with have a flaming row in V.I.P room at Rouge, Boy george at various clubs, Kate Moss EVERYWHERE...
My favourites over the years are, Angelina Jolie (Pre Pitt) and Kylie. Im so glad Ive found a place where my spotting talents are appreciated!
