On Friday whilst in town i spotted Audrey from Corrie (well we're short of proper stars up here!). She was in a bit of a disguise, donning a really cheesy baseball cap, a high-collared jacket and some Primark jeans. We were waiting to cross the tram tracks, i noticed her and did the campest hello known to man, touching her elbow whilst saying 'Alright, Audrey, love?". She looked at me in horror, just about smiled and walked off. Probably one of the best moments of my life.

my mum said she saw Audrey in the supermarket t'other day

not as good as when Steve McDonald's dad bumped into the back of her car


...

James from Hadouken.

Its not all celebs, bitches and hoes down here either.

Maybe I'm looking in the wring places.


actually,

thats not even a celeb.

fail.


Anthony from Big Brother

drove passed in his massive range rover while i was waiting for a lift home from work on monday

does he still count?


Umm..

Colin and Justin, the interior designers standing about in Princes Square in Glasgow. They went to college with my step-mum, so I thought this would be a topic of conversation if I were to go and say hello. They didn't know how I was talking about when I said her name though. Probably because I forgot that they'd have known her by her maiden name and not the married one I said. FAIL.

I also saw Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand fame looking at records in Relics in the west end of Glasgow. Again, I was related to someone who knew him (my uncle went to Kosovo with him and one other guy to drive back mine removing equipment and aid vehicles or something), but going by how much of an eejit I looked last time, I chose not to say hello. I told my uncle I'd seen him, who told Alex, who then e-mailed me to say I should have spoke to him, which was nice.

I also saw Will from Will and Grace (I don't know the actor's name) on the beach in Canada last year. I didn't approach him because I didn't know his actual name and I' have looked like a muppet.


peaches geldof

in hoxton square a few days ago. but seeing her about is such a regular occurrence, i'm not sure if it counts as a proper 'spot'.

oh and Ross off Project Catwalk was in London Fields yesterday. i wanted to say hello, you were great, but decided not to

"peaches geldof

Oh come on. You make it too easy.


i mean, she's always around the neighbourhood

so i kinda *expect* to see her, rather than it being omg sleb spot surprise


actually, thinking about it that's not true

it's not that frequent

didn't we do this thread the other day?


how did you know

that they were Primark jeans?


Finn from Hollyoaks

looking rather dashing in sandals on thursday on Park Street, Bristol.


I saw Robert Carlyle yesterday

he was taking a picture of the glasgow subway for smoe reason?!


*some


i saw him too

with his daughter, who was wearing a Rangers top.

he was probably photographing the subway because its so cool.


The lady who played Cassandra

in Only Fools and Horses, in my workplace.

So i've now spotted her, Trigger at Frieze Art Fair and Buster Merryfield trying to flog his autobiography outside a pub about ten years ago.


my gran lives near nicholas lyndhurst.

you'll have to pop round for tea and see if you can complete the set.


maybe i should

make up a bingo card.


I saw some guy

who looked an awful lot like Jack Osbourne the other night but it probably wasn't him.

True story.


i saw ian rankin


i sat at the table next to Alasdair Gray

in a restuarant. No relation.


to Ian Rankin?

I never suspected they were.


Last night

Scroobius Pip eating with his mates in Giraffe on Embankment.

Before that Noel Fielding eating in J's at Primrose Hill a few weeks ago. I freaked out his Robots in Disguise girlfriend by staring at them psychotically!


alexis taylor

of hot chip, looking peculiar at bethnal green tube...although i think i've seen him more times than ive seen my own mother this year...he's always knocking about


I see Dean Kiely

everywhere i go, including WWE Smackdown at the NEC and Somerfield.


the queen

in 2002.


I'm always seeing

Dylan Moran about the place, usually looking drunk and a bit angry. He lives right up the road from me.


i'm a bit envious!

i fucking love dylan moran.


Jefferson Hack

Anouck Lepere

last night djing at George & Dragon in Shoreditch. He was quite friendly and nice and played wicked tunes. she was tiny.


David Mitchell

crossing the road in Kilburn. He was talking on his phone and looked an awful lot slimmer in real life.


gok wan

in brighton, filming,,, i walked past "in shot" i wonder if my ugly mug is gonna be on tele!?


Diminuative Swedish popstar type Robyn

walking down Camden High Street on Friday afternoon, looking very much like A Normal Person and not the kind of woman who's had a number 1 single.


Barry Chuckle

At Chester Races last Wednesday


sadpunk


I had a wee chat with Gabe Saporta

formerly of Midtown and of Cobra Starship fame this weekend. Cos I'm hip.


kate lawler(remember her)

last tues


Oh wait

I was just about to say I saw David Gest in Covent Garden a few months back, but then I remembered I saw the Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Andew, Prince Edward, Princess Anne and Margaret Thatcher a couple of weeks ago at a work reception. Name dropping rocks!


I saw the bloke

who used to play Terry Duckworth at Hope Hospital in Salford the other week.

I thought I saw Bill Oddie on the other side of the road the other day but, disappointingly, on closer inspection it wasn't him.


Graham Coxon

He was lost In Finsbury Park but the last "celeb" spot was Cindy Beale in Finchley. Awesome.


Steve Lamacq

Eating a curry and drinking cider outside a pub near Regent Street, two weeks ago.


Vic Reeves

walking out of Kings Cross station last friday evening. He was wearing sunglasses and smiling to himself. I bet he'd just thought of a really funny joke.


i bet he hadn't


you're probably right.

uvavu.


He'd thought how funny that bingo advert is

as he was pilled off his bonce.


I saw the bassist from Muse

going into WHSmith in Exeter when I was down there in March.

Prior to that I saw Ken Stringfellow from The Posies in the Old Blue Last sometime towards the end of last year.


I like how he's

so famous that he's known as 'the bassist from Muse', rather than by his actual name. Which I don't know either I'm afraid.


that hugely annoying girl

who used to be in hollyoaks and is now in the world program of all time- 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps.


Santogold

she just came out of nowhere.
I was all fuck off Santogold but she wouldn't go away :(
