This is about me and a short bald man.
I was in the same restaurant as Greg Wallace yesterday. I did not shout COOKING DOESN'T GET ANY BIGGER THAN THIS at him.

I saw John Torode in sainsburys
He's quite tall.

You should've gone right up to him
and watched his come face when he was eating his pudding.

In other news, I've come to work on my day off for a course which they've cancelled and not told me. HOOBASTARDRAY

I once saw the guy from the bt adverts and my family in a small italian restaraunt next to a theatre
I didn't say anything because he was eating a meal and I doubt we would have a comfortable conversation the initial awkwardness of me going over and saying 'hey, you are the guy from the bt adverts and my family in a small italian restaraunt next to a theatre, lets talk'

If he says no, you could say,
"But, it's good to talk!"

obviously I'd be holding a knife throughout all of this

Butter knife?

I saw Michael Buerk in the street once
He always looks like he's just given up smoking

I saw him driving his jag.
he may have been transporting ethiopians

I hate the way both of them hover the spoon in front of them from about a meter away and the snatch at it like a hungry cheetah.
Also he sounds like a bit of a dick boasting about going out with fit 17 year olds like it's something great. The only reason he's boasting is because he couldn't go out with fit 17 year olds when he was 17 himself and not famous.

They do eat like weirdoes

I would love to say to them if they'd just tasted me food
"DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTHFUL! WHERE'S YOUR MANNERS?!?" and then biff them with my handbag.

Also I see at least 1 quasi-famous person a day
I saw Christopher Biggins yesterday and Craig Charles.
( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 10:16, archived)

I'd be quite chuffed to see Biggins

is he the bald one or the other one?

( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 10:14, archived)

I think the major clue is in the subject line

( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 10:15, archived)

She's so little she can't see high enough to read the subject line.

I was sat next to JK Rowling on a flight to edinburgh a few months back.
I found this out after I got off, as mrs kingpin was whooping and pointing. I then got a kicking for not getting her an autograph.

Rowling was travelling with a friend, and she appeared quite dull in terms of her conversation, for anyone who cares.

why would you want someone to write their name for you?
I never understood the point of collecting autographs.

It is perhaps seen as proof that you really have met the person in question in order
to avoid people saying 'No you haven't'.

Nowadays a photo taken with a mobile phone is probably a better choice, and harder to argue with for the non-believers.

I don't know why it even matters,
although my dad's got a photo of my brother with Rolf Harris, and I felt the need to mention that just now, so... I still don't get it.

I think you are either impressed by it or not,
but i'd say it was a sign of a more involved and perhaps interesting life if you recognise and have a chance to say hello to people who do something that is meaningfull to you.

I have an aerial photo of Rennes-le-Chateau signed by Buster Merryfield
