[Closed] Famous people on STW?

I've played golf with

[img] [/img]

And as Johnny Depp is mentioned above. Last month I was sat very close to him in a quiet Dorset country pub having dinner

I think there are some famous people on here that do keep schtum.

As for people sat near in pubs - Craig Charles, and the Levellers, not in the same pub at the same time though.

I've played snooker with Jimmy White, Andy Gray and Willie Thorne. WT opened a new snooker hall in Malvern many years ago and I was picked at random* to play him..
When I was introduced to the crowd it was something like "6 times world champion, 3 times masters champion, 6 times UK champion...ladies and gentlemen....Steve Davis"...
My name is Steve Davies..and I was 14 at the time

I've met Her Maj and was on Central news as an RAF cadet when there was a big Spitfire dig locally (marching down the road and standing to attention when the commemorative plaque was unveiled)

I've served Robert Plant and Nigel Kennedy drinks in The Morgan pub.

*might have had something to do with the fact that I worked there 😯

Now this is amazing, makes me a minor celeb by association and me and him mates...

I was once retweeted by Ewan McGregor.

I touched a famous person once .

I sat on the next table to Sue Barker at the Applecross Inn and then, whilst having my one and only ever riding lesson near Broadway, she drove past in her car. I think she's stalking me.

I served World Cup winning ginger squeaky-voiced Alan Ball (RIP) many a time in the Moss Rose pub in Alderley Edge. He drank Carling top, and occasionally a Jamesons.

I was on Crime Watch last night....

ha a a boy i played football with kevin keegan, terry mcdermot, chris waddle peter beardsley and the rest of the newcastle team, was acompetition along with about 50 others. then went on in teens to play golf with terry mcdermot at a charity do, gazza was in the group infront wildy swing the club in the general direction of the ball, i remember it being a very funny day.

I recently learned that at some point in the dim and distant past my wife was courted by Steve Winwood.

In no particular order....
Have played football with Frank Worthington.
Opened for Gil Scott Heron twice.
Met Fat Boy Slim.
Chatted with Mick Talbot backstage at a gig.
Had dinner with Damon Hill.
Met Billy Connolly at Mardi Gras.
Bumped into Jamie Baulch and Darren Campbell at a triathlon in Sydney.
Rapped with Mc Solaar, ultramagnetic mc's, K Creative, and a bunch of other people.
Am mate's with a bloke called Blade who's fairly famous in tne uk hiphop scene.

None of 'em post on here though.

Minor league. Why do you ask?

Mr Woppit is a true superstar and we are not worthy!

 

I once carried Jack Nicholson's sports jacket for him hile working at Wimbledon. How I failed to make the big time I'll never know.

He spoke very highly of you.

Met loads of A,B,C,D-list celebs through work too numerous to mention.
I photographed Cherie Blair for an ad campaign last year which is a bit more interaction that serving her a drink in a pub 🙄

I've had dinner - and breakfast - with David Essex

I fixed Donald Sutherlands Wi-Fi for him and he then shook my hand in a funny way resulting in a £20 note 'appearing' in my palm

Mr Smith, I thought you only photographed Tesco Value cream cakes and stuff, I didn't know you did people 🙂

One thing's for certain, what ever he photographs, he does it much better than everyone else 😆

i've kissed Floella Benjamin (sp??)

Through the round window?

I filmed with Iwan Thomas a week ago and am doing some more soon

i politely asked jeremy kyle, to his face, to "get out of my way" this morning on my commute to work (my work is right next to granada studios and he was stood in the street with his 'psychologist' mate, right outside the entrance to our underground car/bike park).
he called me a prick.
ace.

ive been on:

eastenders
Dr Who
casualty
waking the dead
judge john deed
silent witness
etc etc

i was always third cooper on the left.....

His twitter is funny, especially when he goes out on the lash and then has to apolagise to his parents. 🙂

Thanks, WackoAK. Tea/keyboard interface scenario.

Harold Shipman was my GP many years ago, and we briefly lived next door to the moors murderers when I was very young...
I don't think they came on here though..

I once met a lost Arthur Scargill in the streets of Nottingham and deliberately gave him the wrong directions.

holy ****....[shudders]

My cousin once dated Clive James' daughter - does that count as the most tenuous claim to fame on here?

My cousin works at a big London theatre. She almost introduced me to Jenny Agutter once.

Also, I shot the sheriff.

On a happier note, I once shagged the violin player in Siouxie and the banshees in the Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester...
Happy days.. 8)

I've met Kevin McCloud twice.

He remembered me the second time. I didn't remember him 8)

I should be famous for stealing Shergar, but unfortunately no-one knows about it.

Happy days..

Did she remember you the next day? 😉

Who cares..
I remember..

You've not been watching the news recently, have you?

[i]I've met Kevin McCloud twice[/i]

I sat on the next table to Kevin McCloud in a little cafe in Portree on Skye. He and (I assume) Mrs McCloud seemed to be having a bit of a tiff.

I met Lemmy in the St Moritz club in Soho nd tried to drink him under the table with the help of Jack Daniels, I woke up in a flat in Golders Green where a very ex girlfriend was upstairs in bed with Jason Newstead.

It's clear that the tread title has, as usual, no bearing whatsoever on the content.

I meet loads through work. None, to my knowledge, post on here though.
The coolest was when Matt Le Tissier popped into my office to say hello.
A mate of mine boffed Jordan. The celeb, not the country. Though he'd give that a go too, I imagine.

Who cares..
I remember..

Nice edit!

She's very nice isn't she?
Never met her, but she always looked like a laugh.
Famous son too......

Sometimes this place lets you know you are a failure in no uncertain terms. AA I am very, very impressed! What have I been doing with my life...

If Jordan's 'home video' I had the displeasure of seeing when at uni was anything to go by, I'd have said the country was the better option.

I often see Orlando Bloom on the Surrey Hills, he borrowed my tyre levers...

He has a really small right foot...

Edit : Orlando Bloom, that is, not Shergar

Tbh it was so long ago I barely remember myself, 😳
M'old...

Another one I am jealous of... He is one talented and hilarious mofo.

Also, in answer to the questions
I killed Bambi
But I got away with it by framing Roger Rabbit.

As some of these posts are of the 'my milkman's cousin's friend stood next to someone famous once', I'll add that my uncle was a stormtrooper in Star Wars. His [url= http://www.christies.com/Lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4637568 ]helmet[/url] (fnar) was even auctioned off at Christies in 2005 and fetched nearly £20k. Gulp. Gutted to not have been his favourite niece and inherited it!

Drac - I was also on the first series of Junior doctors.... It was me that changed the blonde doctors name to Barbie on our computer system.... She wasnt half as annoying in real life.

I am a team member in a Scrapheap Challenge type show called Motor Morphers, airing in May on Channel 5, does that count?

Went on a 1st date with a girl last Saturday.

She turned out to be the big sister of the chap is plays Jackson in Shameless

One of my favourite shows - well pleased!

Saw Dolph Lundgren on a market in Paris a long time ago.

Met Charles Dance when they were filming in Brussels.

Sold a few bottles of beer to Roy Keane when I worked on the bar at Cirque du Soleil.

Was destroyed in an argument trying to defend the north when pissed up at a wedding by Michael Buerk.

But the highlight i think was handing room keys over when I worked in a hotel to (drum roll please)....

Roy Walker from Catchphrase!

Most recently, I bumped into some of the Kaiser Chiefs in a guitar shop in Southampton (they were playing the Guildhall that night). 'I predict you buy it' </cringe>.

I was also on You've Been Framed last year, falling off my bike whilst dressed in a sumo suit, trying to grab a pint of cider from our disco tent during Mountain Mayhem.

But my greatest claim to fame is spending 2 days in a bedroom with Linda Barker and Carol Smilie AND my wife 🙂 Oh and Michael Aspel interrupting our little quartet to do a TIYL on Linda in my back garden 😕

I'm "The Face" of a holiday park in the north west of England. So I'm on prime time TV adverts several times a day between January and April every year. I have been recognised...

I also get a text message EVERY SINGLE TIME the advert screens from various casual acquaintances saying "Just seen you ont' telly!"

I also got pulled over by the cops with a drunk R2-D2 actor, Kenny Baker, standing in the passenger footwell of my car, clinging on to the dashboard.

And Christine Hamilton sexually assaulted me... (well, pinched my bum).

I touched a famous person once .

I was Miss October in a calendar once.

[s]Readers[/s]Riders' Wives?

I once met Lionel Richie and David Hasslehoff in the space of 10 mins. One was a really nice guy, the other was a douchebag, can you tell which one?

Am mate's with a bloke called Blade who's fairly famous in tne uk hiphop scene.

I recently learned that at some point in the dim and distant past my wife was courted by Steve Winwood.

The last time we did this thread didn't someone claim to have taken Deidre from Corrie 'up the wrong un'? 😆

Bbc tv series Rockface: I was an extra in the episode they did about an mtb race. Was 1st to ride down the wee bank that they tried to make look steep so I'm in a full on close up!
Spent a whole day filming 1 scene so swapped gloves with my mate at lunchtime to see if the continuity dept would notice!

Inkerman Street?

I can remember someone saying his mate had, erm, fingered Clare Balding. He was the winner.

you're half the herbaliser and I claim my £10

My mum was Gary Glitter's doctor!

APF

Is this now a 'how tenuous can we get?' thread?

Mate of mine's wife is good friends with the sister of Tony Wright from Terrorvision.

I went to school with the drummer from The Cranberries.

I got VIP tickets for the darts a couple of years ago, I tried to offer some left over pizza to Will Greenwood on the next table, when he refused, I turned it over and drew a large cock on the base with the black marker from the table and offered it to him again..he still refused. Funny what a free bar does to you.

I stood next to Paolo Maldini seconds before a Champions League game against Leeds.

In my catering temp days I've also served Prince Andrew - three times. He's a surprising short chap.

Plus, I've shouted 'hey Jack' out of a taxi window at Jack Charlton. He took it in good part.

And waved at Richard O'Brian. He was quite a long way away, though, which is probably why the wave was not reciprocated.

Jet from Gladiators once punched me in the gentleman's area.

The toilets?

Not sure about here but Pistonheads has alot of famous/celeb stars. One that stands out is the custard incident with Jason Plato where someone posted up what a miserable arrogant **** Plato was when he spotted him outside a dry cleaners....then Plato popped up and had a right pop at him. Properly took him down. to prove the poster was Plato someone asked him to take a photo with....custard. Hey presto!

Comedy genius. 😆

Jon-Allan Butterworth came to my birthday drinking session last year.

I recently had a letter printed in the Malvern Gazette

Just write to the Malvern Gazette and it gets printed. 🙂

I went to school with the drummer from The Cranberries.

Ah, so THAT'S what the song is about. A youthful DD letting a trouser trumpet linger.

I had a letter printed in the Financial Times but I don't think this makes me famous, even in my own elevenses.

Seriously?

Impressed.

I've worn Greg Rusedski's trousers while at Wimbledon (and looked daft - his waist is about four inches bigger than mine).

Oh - and my Grandfather worked on several of the early Bond films and counted Roger Moore as a friend.

And my great Grandfather taught Fred Perry to play tennis.

Unfortunately I can neither play tennis, or work in films. Or have met Fred Perry or Roger Moore, for that matter.
