I saw Paul Daniels and the lovely Debbie McGee filling up their Discovery at Scotch Corner once. Diesel. I liked it. Though not a lot...

I met Nick Craig and his son twice in one holiday in Wales, the second time at Nant Y Arian. We chatted for a while but I didn't let on I knew who he was. He definitely is the nicest man in mountain biking and possibly outside of it too.

OOOh, Just remembered I saw dennis wise and his rough looking wife filling their Q7 on the north circular, in 2012. He's an arsehole. Diesel.

Our conversation then moved to our favourite accountancy firms and stevestunts plumped for Cox, Cox and Moorecox. Diesel - like a loco.

Peaty was also on the Diesel.
I met Bob Mortimer in the Boro Empire, I was on E and tried to get him to summon the Dove from above.

Cool story's Bro's

I was on a flight to Dubai sat next to Chris Boardman last year. And Craig Charles was in the lounge too.

Plane wasn't powered by diesel though.

Might as well be... Jet A1 is very similar to diesel.

Caddied for my uncle when he was playing in a pro-am match. We had to stop at kingspark to pick up Kenny Daglish(33years ago),just the three of us in the car and then I found out we were in the same fourball followed the whole course by fans and the papers,when we finished he asked me to go to the car and get his football boots so I put them on and ran around the carpark. Was waiting to use the toilets in a pub called Buzzy Wares in Glasgow and out walked a famous footballer and another guy rubbing their teeth then their nose. The footballer was famous for the quote "where's the burds"

The short one from from Ant & Dec walked past me last night on my way home from work

What? One his own, without the other one? Photo or it didn't happen.

I've had lunch with Clive Dunn. Back in those days not even trains ran on diesel.

I once walked past then-MP Danny Alexander at a filling station in Inverness (the Esso on the Longman).
I had just paid for diesel. I can't remember what car he had.

This could be a long list:

Used to work in Monmouth and regularly saw various musicians in town who were recording in nearby Rockfield Studios. Best was going into the chippy by the bridge at lunchtime and it took me a few second to realise Dave Grohl was in the queue in front of me!

My dad's local drinking hole is well-used by famous people who are staying in the area as it's discreet about it's guests. The wall is plastered with pictures and autographs of various guests (mainly theatre and opera-types). Was there a few months ago with my dad and as we walked in he said "Oh J-something's still here, his car's over there." New Ferrari, owned by Jay K. He was at the bar. Also had Robbie Williams walk my mate's sister home from there one evening as he was bored of all the screaming girls camped outside. He was a real gent apparently.

Had the whole Top Gear crew (presenters and about 20 crew) turn up at the bottom of my mate's drive a few years ago. They were in the area filming the Off-road Invalid Carriage episode and the fields they mucked about in are below his parent's house.

Spent a night getting very drunk (together with the rest of the pub) with Damon Hill in another pub near my parents.

Served Eddie Butler in one job and Joe Calzaghie in another. Worked in a theatre bar and served loads of comedians.

Oh and I've seen Manon Carpenter in Tesco's in Caerphilly. Also Morrisons. And been made to look ridiculously slow at BPW by her ๐Ÿ˜†

I met the 1995 Manchester united team at the batman forever premier.
The following year I walked past Noel Gallagher on wardor street in that London. The guy I was with was a massive oasis fan but didn't notice him. I told him about 10mins later and I really thought he meant me physical harm. He was not at all happy.

I also once saw matt allwright off of watch dog in waitrose in Wokingham. He seemed to be dressed as Rupert bear/a ****.

Well if we're getting serious.
Muhammad Ali in Saxton Rd, Abingdon. He visited several times to meet Paddy who ran his fan club. Mr T as his bodyguard on the visit I saw.
Neil Young in The Fitzharris Arms, Abingdon. Now a Tesco. (The pub that is). And on the final night of the pub being open there was a bit of a party and the guy who had previously taken Neil to the pub handed me a phone and say "Say Hi to Steve..." Which is how I ended up having a very strange chat with an equally bemused Steven Tyler who sympathised with the fact our local 'bar' was closing.

Stood in the cashpoint behind Ilie Nastase (one for those of us of a certain age, was in Bristol when they had one of the Wimbledon warm up tournaments)
Had a piss stood next to Paul Weller
Had to stand up to let Bruce Forsythe past at a James Bond movie premier, also seen him at Wisley Golf club a few times.
Had Alan Sheerer barge past me in the pro shop at Wentworth

A friend of mine used to work in a Cinema in Cardiff. She was serving Ieuan Evans popcorn at the time he played for Wales. He ended up half seriously saying 'don't you know who I am?' She didn't, he was put out. She had to be told afterwards who it was.

Jet A1 is very similar to diesel

Random car (I think with foreign plates) drove past me on the the bike on Wednesday night smelling strongly of jet exhaust - perhaps that's what they were burning.

Oh yeah - sat opposite Pete Postlethwaite on a train once for about two stops in Shropshire.

2007, waiting for a hotel lift in Leeds, doors opened - New Zealand All Blacks.

Unexpected to say the least.

Absolute man-mountains! Nice as pie though (phone just corrected that to 'nice ass pie')

Living in Cardiff you see loads of international rugby players on match days. Esp the relatively new players, they like to do a bit of shopping and sight seeing. They are often made to wear their uniforms ie blazers and smart suits. The blazers don't really work that well on your typical Maori rugby player.. you get a shoulder, then acres of fabric, some tiny looking buttons then acres more fabric followed by the other shoulder.

They aren't tall but they are quite mind-bogglingly huge.

When I was a youth and living in Oxford I sold Thom York (he of Radiohead fame) a bong and many Rizlas from the shop I was working in.
Hopefully no diesel was involved.

I met Matt Neal (BTCC driver) whilst working at the halfway house on the local golf course. He races for Honda, which is a petrol. However, Seat did enter the series with a pair of diesel powered Leons once.

I also met Harry Redknapp whilst he was manager of Pompey, and helped him to play a practical joke on his (then) assistant, Jim Smith.

Living in that Wilmslow, can't move for bloomin' footballers and WAGs and Corrie stars - tripping over them every day, what a pain! Best tho' was in the health spa a few years ago when my 5-year old daughter threw a bucket of water at me, missed and hit Eric Cantona. How we laughed.

Waiting for a freind at T3 Alice Cooper came out and was waiting for his driver, had a nice chat he was really nice. Then he said 'Iggy will be out in a minute'. For about a minute of my life I was stood chatting with Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop!

I saw Oli Beckingsale in the queue at Burger king.

I was there too. BEST DAY EVER!

In other news, my mate bought a bike off someone on eBay once. Turned up to his house and it was Rob Warner!

As a 10 year old, me and my schoolfriend met Jimmy Savile on the Leeds train. He gave us his autograph (long since lost) spelt with the $ sign for the S.

"Now then now then, hows about that there then, guys and gals"

I once made the Undertones a chicken casserole.

Here's a photo of my lad on a ferry to Dublin for a rugby tour. The s'leb dance troupe Diversity are behind him under the circular light fitting. Unfortunately the lad with the dark hair got in the way of my lad and the ferry company's children's entertainer/mascot thingy's opportunity to upstage Ashley Banjo-String or whatever his name is, by obscuring all but one of the adorable BGT winners.

I was marshalling at Antur Stiniog for the BDS and Danny Hart stopped to ask about line choice.

Whilst we were chatting, a pigeon with velocity approaching what you might expect from a meteorite whizzed between us, it's turbulent wake enough to ruffle hair.

It was probably running on rocket fuel.
