reverse stalking.
Once I was run at work by James Valentine, the host of The Afternoon Show when I was young.

I got a bit excited, and said "are you the James Valentine". He said "um, I don't know." I was going to say "were you the host of the Afternoon Show", but instead I decided to say "were you Paul Kelly's saxophonist", just to show that I knew that I guess.

He said yes. I launched into this (true) story about how, when the Afternoon Show was on, my friends said that I looked like him, and I also had the same first name, and they said that I should write to him and go on the show to prove that I wasn't really him...

Then there was a little bit of silence. He laughed nervously, and I realised that I sounded a bit like a crazy fan - and also he'd just given me his address.

So yeah, sorry about that James - I got the same name as you from my parents, I didn't change it to get closer to you. And if anyone went through your garbage soon after that, it was just a coincidence.

I talked to one of the guys who used to work on ITN once
(I'll give you a clue, his brother's a Belguim moustache twiddler)
And I somehow got onto the subject of midgets. Obviously after my exposure to B3ta I unfortunately broke into a rant on how midgets are awesome, and how they always see you coming but not the other way around. In fairness he laffed like a loon by the end of it, result :)
