jamboinglasgow Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 F ** K OFF! I saw Traynor on the High Street during the festival. He was crossing the road. At the very same time as me. I'll never forget it. Incredible times. In Glasgow, my flat used to be near the bbc building, saw Chic Young, Jim Traynor, Stuart Cosgrove and I saw Tam Cowan walking back to work surronded by three female colleagues, looks a bit of a ladies man. Also was in a pub near by when Tam walked in and was sat at the table next to me, Celtic were playing St Mirren on tv but he did not seem interested. Also once worked in a hotel, serving breakfast one day, we had closed the restaurant as it was after closing time when suddenly an american woman walked quickly to the door, realised the restaurant was closed said rather loudly "oh s***" and turned around where I was standing about to go into the private bit, I was looking at her about to explain the situation when she looked at me and said Hi like I was a Gawping fan, then she went off. That woman was none other than...Ruby Wax. Also saw Joan Rivers walking down past greyfriars with a camera crew during the festival, she had her grandchild with her.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Stood behind a disgruntled looking Chris Martin, a wig wearing Gwyneth Paltrow and their kids plus entourage in the security queue at Newark Airport at 6am on a Sunday a few months ago. They looked and were extremely annoyed at being screened in the same area as the public (about 6 of us) who were by and large totally ignoring them.

Myself and my mate were sitting at our table and in walked John Robertson, Neil Berry, Wayne Foster and Derek Ferguson. They came to our table and asked us if they could join us! No problem we said.
