That thread had died a little.
As you may know, I am a massive namedropping cunt.

Who is the last famous person you saw? I've seen Boris Johnson twice in the past fortnight, he runs along the same stretch of canal which I walk down each morning.

Alt: Who was the best? Who was the weirdest? For me that must go to Sylvester McCoy, backstage at the Essential Festival in Finsbury Park. What the fuck he was doing there I have no idea.

I saw Sir Trevor Macdonald at my local farmer's market wearing a natty knitted jumper
The best famous person i saw was the English soldier rapist from Braveheart, weirdest was Anneka Rice who has not aged well at all.

Boris is ace, did you consider running after him?
I think if the Tories ditch Cameron in favour of him, they'll have a better chance of winning the next election.
I see/natter to Mark E Smith, and Paul Heaton occasionally. Mark drinks in my local, and also uses a nearby studio and Mr Heaton is now landlord of a boozer down the road.
Both top blokes, although I was never a great fan of the Fall. Mark, when drunk, is ok, not like the persona he exudes. Bit of a cunt to bandmates though. Beautiful South did a few good things however.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone famous.
Well, one of the national football teams is from geelong (where I live), and they supposedly come into work all the time. I wouldn't have a clue who they are though, cos I don't follow the league.

So I guess what I'm saying is, stop living through seeing famous people. They don't really matter.
(Poppet Now in new, Lean Mean Fighting Machine form!, Wed 6 Jun 2012, 11:47, Reply)

Round here, most of the famous lot are footballers, most of whom I have absolutely zero interest in meeting
However, it's been ages since I've seen any of them, so it was probably Marcus Bischoff.

Alt: The above mentioned was certainly the best, he had a lot of time to chat to us, very friendly. Does meeting Gary Lineker and Michael Owen when they filmed an advert count as odd?

Met quite a few through work (making adverts, celebrity endorsements etc).
Including:
Courtney Cox (TV advert for Coca-Cola)
Wayne Rooney (Powerade and Coca-Cola sponsorship)
Nigel Planer (voice over work at Pizza Hut)
Brian Cox (voice over work at Pizza Hut)
Jeremy Clarkson (auditioned for voice over work – failed).

Also met:
Sir John Major (sat next to him at a dinner at Royal Ascot).
Brian Turner (shit chef) and Eddie Irvine (both a Windsor races).

Typically the ones you expect to be cunts tend to be ok and vice versa.
