There was a leisure club / pool and he obviously fancied a dip one night. He was (maybe still is) incredibly popular up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Living and working where I do..... Bill De Blasio has a house on my block in Brooklyn. See him most days. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt moved round the corner a few months ago. Seen them 2 days ago. Kelly Osbourne. Meryl Streep. Sam Worthington. Edie Falco. Willem Defoe. Jeff Goldblum. The best was Dave Mackay though, after the 2006 SC final. Saw him on Mcleod street, shook his hand. I was almost in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 One Fat Lady (CDW) on a flight to Tobago, spent quite a bit of time at the bar / galley area with her. Enjoyed a drink! Girl from Hollyoaks in Sharm, she sunbathed next to us every day, probably because we had never seen Hollyoaks whereas everyone else was pointing her out constantly Weird one that had wife excited was the big Jamaican woman from Googlebox, spoke to her at Glasgow airport Susan Boyle in Balbardie in Bathgate Bloke off EastEnders Michael Gecko or something, Glasgow Airport lounge My old man's favourite one was Heathrow Airport, very busy, height of NI troubles, dad realised no one was standing next to him except one man, Ian Paisley, everyone else kept a wide berth in case someone took a pop at him.

As soon as I slowed down I realised it was him. They get in and we're chatting away and the both of them couldn't be friendlier. We're having a great chat and I say ' I loved watching you in the Likely Lads, it was one of my favourite programs'...cue awkward silence!!! Ok, I just carry on chatting and so does his wife, but he then blanks me for the rest of the journey and just walks off when he gets out. His wife couldn't have been nicer, but wtf is his problem, he did star in the program ffs. I could see the problem if I had said that it was shoite, but I complemented it.

I saw John Leslie at The One Spa above The Sheraton. My other half at the time said to him she recognised him from somewhere. He gave a nod and a smirk to suggest he was "sort of a big deal". She then followed it up with "You shop at TV Maxx don't you?" He moved on to one of the other facilities quite swiftly after that. Other crap sightings include Callum Best, Bianca Gascoigne and Alisha Dixon in Puerto Banus. Trevor from Eastenders (he was in it 10 - 15 years ago but think he was doing a stage show in Edinburgh at the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousset1 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I sold Sandy Clark a three pin plug many years ago. He was wearing his big early nineties manager's jacket. It was an electrifying experience. I sold that wee fud Darren Jackson a portable TV again years ago. He wanted a discount because it was off the shelf with no box. I refused to reduce the price. If it was Alan Mclaren then he might have got a fiver off. I mention Alan because I used to see him at the Fort now and again, when the old cinema and 10 pin bowling place were there. He always had a very red face. Anyway, I had to carry the TV out to the car because Jackson's bint said he was injured. I bought a copy of Big Slim's autobiography from him in the club shop around '95. There was no one else there at the time. I felt a little sorry for him. When I spoke to him at his wee table, my legs started to shake because confronted by a total legend, I became very nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonesy Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Bloke from Snow Patrol, the singer. Had been to one of their early gigs (Andrew the Starfighter Pilot days, before they just copied Coldplay), and had bought one of their T-shirts. They were packing up their equipment outside the Liquid Rooms and I wanted to put the T-shirt on, so asked him to hold my JD and Coke. ******* drank it. Still owes me a drink.
