luckyBatistuta Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 CJ. A lot of folk didn't like him, but he didn't bother me. Rather stupid to write an autobiography though, and say you think you killed someone, especially if there is an unsolved case still in place. Quite apt for him really, thinks he's really clever, but always gets found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Was enjoying the culture in The Western Bar during festival time about 20 years ago. Robbie Coltrane walks in, goes to the bar and asks for a packet of fags. He seemed really put out when he was told that they just had a fag machine, he then stormed rather grumpily out.

@VladMagic Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Was once sat in Glasgow Queen Street station with a mate when he asked if I remembered Keith Harris of Keith Harris and Orvil fame. I jumped in then with some derogatory comments about having his arm up a ducks bum and making shit loads of money from it only to find he was sitting behind me. My mate pissed himself as I looked round to be met by Mr Harris giving me severe daggers! I met Paul Young of Hooked on Fishing fame on a ferry back from Ireland. Got talking and he asked me and a mate to join him for the journey. He ended up buying us a round of beers. Really nice guy and very interesting to talk to.

I P Knightley Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I met Paul Young of Hooked on Fishing fame on a ferry back from Ireland. Got talking and he asked me and a mate to join him for the journey. He ended up buying us a round of beers. Really nice guy and very interesting to talk to. Another ferry-board encounter. Dover to Ostend a bloke called something Egan who claimed to have played guitar on an album - possibly Rick Wakeman's Six Wives of Henry VIII. Sat with us and played my mate's acoustic. Long before the days of the internet so no way of checking up on his claim but he was a damned fine guitarist. "Something" might have been "Mike"; "Egan" might have been something very different. I banged that Cerys fromn Catatonia many years ago. I'm not sure that "banging" counts as a "sighting"; nor would I say that Cerys Matthews is a "Crap celebrity" but thread left the reservation a long time ago.

Not that I've heard the album, or indeed heard if him, but your post intrigued me and so I checked on wikipedia. I once threatened to batter the bass player from Wet, Wet, Wet as he was rude to my cousin in George Square, Glasgow, in the early hours one Sunday morning. Threatend to batter may have been anglo saxon invective rather than the offer of a square go, but you get the drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Walked past Henning Wehn in Glasgow Airport departures a few years ago. Odd looking bloke. Saw John Leslie in Indigo Yard a few weeks back. He is a lot taller than I imagined. Also saw Leigh Griffiths, Jamie Murphy and I think Tony Watt (99% sure it was him) over the course of a 2 week holiday in Magaluf a few years back. Griffiths was outside Boomerang nightclub wearing one of they umbrella hats that the guys on the beach sell . Went for a pee next to Danny Grainger in Cav the night after the cup final. He was absolutely reeking and accused me of stealing his wallet . I'm sure there are more but those are the ones that spring to mind currently.

I P Knightley Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It was Mike Egan. Not that I've heard the album, or indeed heard if him, but your post intrigued me and so I checked on wikipedia. Cheers. It was only the other ferry post that reminded me I'd ever met someone claiming to be him. It was over 30 years ago and I hadn't given it a moment's thought in all that time. I've not heard the album either - seems like a load of tosh. I once arranged a meeting between Anthony Booth (actor and father in law of Tony Blair) with Hillary Clinton. I saw Anthony Booth a couple of years ago at a friend's house. Mentioned before but once bumped into Tony Knowles in century 2000 a fair few years back. He was over the moon that I recognised him and even bought him a vodka and coke. There was another snooker player, Neal Foulds. (Tony Knowles is snooker, right?) Well I watched an under 10s football match with Neal Foulds's son. His grandson was in goal for our oppo. I've never met Neal Foulds, though. (Trying to keep it as crap as possible.) Oh and here's another crap one. I was in a club in Portugal and a big, beardy Irish fellow who looked like Captain Pugwash was convinced he'd seen and met the Irish rugby international, Brendan Mullins. I know he hadn't as I'm not Brendan Mullins but he was having none if it at all. He knew "Brendan" from training with him at London Irish and the Scottish accent "Brendan" put on was clearly fake. In the end, he got "Brendan's" autograph. There's possibly a parallel thread on a big, beardy Irishmen's forum where this guy is 99% sure he met Brendan Mullins. He didn't.

Bit of six degrees of seperation here, but (and bear with me) my Dad is a relation of the actor David McCallum, second or third coousin type of thing. Anyway, David McCallum used to be married to Jill Ireland. They seperated and latterly Jill Ireland married Charles Bronson.
