Please make this as tenuous as possible, the more random the better. A couple of years ago I saw Pete Wylie (from the Mighty Wah) at about 3 in the morning at a service station on the M6. He was with a decent looking oriental looking bird and he was also much taller than I'd imagined. I once got Noel Edmonds' autograph at Wimbledon stock car racing. I was about 10 years old I can confirm he did not put his finger up my arse. The bird with the dreadlocks from Haysi Fantayzee once rode past me on a bike on Shepherds Bush Green.

my cousin once saw Jim Bowen in a pub in Blackpool when she was 10 (she was there with my uncle). she went up and asked for his autograph, he told her to piss off. cue one beelin uncle who gave old jimbo a few choice verbals i was had a piss next to eric cantona just after he signed for leeds, impressed him with my bonjour, ca va. sadly this was the extent of my french,
My father knew someone who built a toilet for the Queen. She didn't use it. It even had a heated seat.
I got taken for Gaelic footy training by Patrick Keilty's brother. I also met Nightshade from gladiators when I was a youngun.
I once found myself sitting on the next bar stool to Billy Mitchell (don't know his real name) in my local. My mate asked him if he could get us both a job on East Enders, sitting around the Queen Vic getting lagged, but he declined to assist.
Tyrone from Coronation Street was in the year below me at school and lived n the next street. Complete tosser. I spoke to Benedict Cumberbatch over the phone once. And that little prick Cody something-or-other who was in the early series of Shameless and Hell's Kitchen came up to me in town once and started talking drunken rubbish. And Tony Blair came to our office when I was at RBS years ago.
I met a guy who drank in the boozer round the corner from the boozer I drink in one afternoon in a boozer in Acapulco. I walked in, there he was. True story.
I knew someone who went on holiday to Benidrom once and on the first day got into a drunken argument and a bloke smased him in the face. He went home, showered an cleaned up and went back out again. Later on he was sat next to a bloke and said "blimey - it's been rough today - earlier on some **** smashed me in the face" The bloked turned round and said "yeah it was me" and did it again.
me too. shareen nangiani claude greengrass anthony warrall thomson her fae deacon blue and elaine c smith, sat drinkin with them in oran mor lol marti pellow, used to stay next to me
I met some bloke called Gordon Strachan walking round the beaches in Barbados. I asked him if he was returning to football management, & was told very firmly no. Years ago, I played beach volleyball with Paul Marina & got a smack in the mouth for my troubles. Complete accident I have to say. A few months ago, I bumped into the Wales rugby team at Warsaw airport returning back to the UK after a pre-season training camp.
please log in to view this image I met the one at the back (Magenta) during the Edinburgh Fringe a few years back. She had bright orange hair and was wearing a mini skirt and fishnet stockings. Not a pretty sight! If you're in Edinburgh during August it's hard not to bump into someone famous.
I work near Westminster so see most of the MPs from time to time. Literally bumped into David Trimble once and we both went flying - he was as apologetic as me wich was a relief! Was once in a restaurant and that idot from 2 pints of lager and casulaty (Will Mellor?) was in there trying to impress his girlfriend by singing along to the piped music. When a diner asked him to be quiet he said that immortal line "I'm on TV you;re not so leave me alone"
