RedM Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I thought I'd met Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen with his hair dyed blond. It turned out to be our very own Doug (Class One) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Lynz_ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I used to go to school with Carley Stenson "Steph Dean" out of Hollyoaks. I met the entire Wigan Rugby team when I was a mascot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

movistar Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I never recognise people until its all too late and someone else has to tell me who they are.....I've had a few embarrassing moments, one being when i told the bloke from "Faithless" the band at a work event up town that he was quite good on the deck's and has he been on TV because he looked familiar? He of course was kind and said yea sort of but then seemed to want to chat for ages, now i know it was because i was really impressed with his talent and not for who he was...he lives in the Isle of white.

hogmaw Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I never recognise people until its all too late and someone else has to tell me who they are...QUOTE] Same with me when I came face to face with Shane McGowan at my record shop. As he is one of the ugliest people in the world, I didn't want to say HI SHANE, because if it wasn't him then it would have been a most almighty faux pas. On the other hand, I felt pretty daft after he left because with him being so distinctive, how could I have doubted who he was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo that reminds me I was stood next to Simon from Blue in the Trafford Centre. He was singing at the side of me in Selfridges and I looked at him and smiled in a kind of "aww you can get locked up for that nowadays, but you've got a good voice". When I looked up again he had moved and was stood next to Lee and they where being mobbed by girls with mobiles taking photo's. Ooops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I completely forgot that years and years ago, when Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) was in Beats International, I bumped into him in Rumbelows while he was looking for a portable tv. He's a really nice guy. Well he was then anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I once met the legend that is Steve Bull. Means nothing to anyone other than a Wolves fan but he's God around these parts. My old man plays golf with him and was having a beer afterwards down our local. I went down and Bully bought me a beer! Top bloke - played for England in the World Cup whilst still playing 3rd Division Football you know! I also stood next to Will Mellor in the buffet restaurant at Caesars Palace after Ricky Hatton just weighed in. I said 'alright Jambo' - he just looked at me bemused. I felt a right tit!

redsupraman82 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Some great lists there. I've met Chris Eubank at the London Motorshow when I was around 15 or 16. I also said hello and shook the hand of Brian Cox in Tokyo about 2/3 years ago. I've met loads of famous Japanese racing drivers though! Gaz. i see him all the time at work! in fact last week we had to get him to move his truck from the front of the hotel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
