Rupert Pupkin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Was also painting Grand Cru on night shift during the festival a number of years back, and Rich Hall poked his head in and asked what I was doing working at this hour, and whether I wanted to go for a drink instead. An offer I should have probably taken him up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Jean Boht (Ma Boswell in Bread). Walked into Scotmid in Bath Street about 10 years ago and the first thing I saw was her huge arse. She had bent down to take something from a bottom shelf (the Kenneth Williams emojiers will have a field day). Spoke to her a few mins later in the bevvy aisle. Nice lady. I didn't mention her eclipse causing Boht...sorry, butt. I must be in the running for the prize of "crap celebrity sighting". Edit: I hope she's not deid.

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I've met many celebrities/famous people and also had quite a few sightings. But as this is crap celebrity sightings I'd like to point out that after the Dundee v Hearts game in the early 90s (where Henry missed a penalty) I went out to Destihls to get drunk with mates and ended up arguing with Mike Teasdale as I was convinced he was Jim Hamilton. Gerry Britton stepped in and bought us a beer, ended up drinking with a few of them for an hour or so. Still convinced that Jim Hamilton was pretending to be Teasdale Oh, and I'm staying in a hotel in Albany NY tonight, apparently Carrie Underwood is staying here too. Tomorrow night! So does that count as a nearly sighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Not exactly crap sightings then. 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). Fair point. Mis-read the title. Crap sightings..... Both Proclaimers. Paul Kane, that is one ugly ****. Nicholas Parsons, at the Fringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboz Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I had a pint with Ant from Ant and Dec during the festival many moons ago. He seemed alright but was more interested in trying to get his Nat King Cole off his ex bursd. Which is fair enough really Also saw Jean Claude Van Dam in Cannes and Roger Moore in Monaco.

JudyJudyJudy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 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. The Alan Mclaren " red" face is a family thing. His sister and mother have one i recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I was at the Reading Rooms in Dundee last Easter and went to the "green room" after it and had a chat with Andrew Weatherall. Have to admit I wasn't my usual coherent self, but he was very pleasant. Not that crap really. I did walk past Terence Trent D'Arby in London many moons ago. That's pretty crap. Said alright to Alan McInally at Schipol airport and he said "awrite big man" back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 When I worked in the sample room 2 guys came into the bar. They seen someone at the end of the bar and started hassling gimme saying "you're Tommy Sheridan, aren't you". The guy kept denying it and was clearly getting pissed off. Now, I had no clue who Tommy Sheridan was at the time. I told the guys to leave him alone, they argued with me, so they were told to leave the bar straight away. Straight after that the guy seen me sitting down for my break and bought me a pint. He said thanks for sorting that out and yes he was actually Tommy Sheridan. What a know, maybe this explains my hatred for socialism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddley Walker Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well mate, you did ask Was driving through the Cowgate when I saw this guy in a pure white suit with his wife. 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. Sounds like it wasn't him and he was offended mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I also met Eddie Hearn at the Hilton in Liverpool about 18 months ago. I was down for a conference and had just come back from the Gala dinner. We were all staying there, and there was a fight night on Sky from Liverpool on the Friday, so the place was full of boxers, promotors, sponsors etc. Anyway, I'd had a couple but went to speak to Eddie Hearn and he was sound. Told him to tell his dad he was spot on about Scottish football. Eddie then introduced me to all his entourage and we had a chat. One lad started gettinga bit wide and a scouse sponsor pulled him up and he went quiet as a mouse. The scouse lad was sound. A Toffee, so we had a good blether and drink. Eddie also obliged with the standard "5-1" pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Once sat next to Romanov on a flight out of Edinburgh one transfer deadline day. Heavy snow, so we were stuck on runway for four hours.

CollyWolly Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Scott Brown's missus lived on my street so I used to see him quite a lot and I met John Leslie at a pantomime about 12 years ago. Think I win this one. Scott Brown smiled and waved me out of the junction at the end of our street the other day. I seem him at least twice a week. Other crap celebs who cross my path regularly include Derek Riordan(who's dad Ive known and studiously avoided for years)always says hello to me. Stephen Jardine who is often on my bus on a Tuesday and Judy Murray who often gets the same bus so must know someone down our way but doesn't seem to have anything to do with Stephen Jardine. John Leslie was sniffing about my teenage daughter at a club a few years ago and I am still to pull him up about that. He's a very weird and scary man apparently.
