"Whos seen someone famous then?"

Seen anyone on the streets?, at a show? or anything like that?

Hmmm...

Bill Clinton - Shook hands with him when he got his Honorary degree at Oxford.

James Dean Bradfield from the Manics - he lives in the same block of flats as me and a mate of mine is 'flat sitting' for him. So I get to borrow loadsa DVD's from his collection!

Super Furry Animals. My mate is the roadie for SFA and is married to Cian and Dafs sister. When to gruffs party in his house on NYE 1999.

Arsenal/Chelsea - The missus used to work in the hotel they stayed in in Cardiff for the last 2 FA cup finals.

Princess Di - She opened some train in cardiff that I was on when I was a kid.

There are some others I cant remember off hand...

Oh, and saw Chris Morris (creator of Brasseye and The Day Today) at another club. Confused him by inserting Billy Bob Teeth, getting a mate to put his Billy Bob Teeth in, then standing really close and grinning at him.

(one for the oldies here, methinks)

I saw the short dark haired bloke with the massive eyebrows out of Press Gang (kids TV show from donkey's years ago starring a young Julia Sawalha)in a club in London. I completely confused him by asking him if he was my mate Greg from primary school.

I saw the quite podgy female officer out of bad girls at a bank.

I know who he is (idol), but most people I tell don't.

I've seen Claudio Lopez and Gabriel Batistuta...

Up high from the North Stand at Old trafford of course, when Valencia and Fiorentina played United in the Champions league a few years ago...

Highlight of my life seeing Batistuta score in real life at Old trafford...

I would have really liked to have seen Maradona play...I'd would consider my life complete and just die on the stop after seeing him in action...

unfortunately the only "famous" person ive come across is Brian from big brother 2. I saw him shopping in GAP and i must say, "What a complete gaylord!"

Ive also walked past Dennis Waterman (who knowone even knows cos he is ancient)

That bloody rules mate! I'm so boring compared to you lot. I've NEVER met or seen a famous person, which sucks total fish rectum, which is quite ironic in itself :p

I've met the whole of Muse. My fav band. I went to an aftershow party of theirs, after the gig in Portsmouth.

I saw Michael Grecho and Dean Gaffney in the Sunbury Tesco, and Sunbury Londis (Heh, I work in Londis. Cool shop, especially the Ashford one).
