Dave Myers (the dark haired one from the Hairy Bikers)
Frankley services M5
Couple of others :
Jonny Morris outside Westminster - had to stop him and say thanks for making my childhood fun.
Did the 'door dance' with Jamie Curtis in Santa Monica.
Mick Jagger in the video games section of Harrods.
And some bloke called Dave Cameron at a pub near chequers last summer
I do find it fairly amusing to think that even PMs sometimes just think 'sod this let's go to the pub'. Assuming it wasn't a crafted photo-op of course.
I once sold Martin Brundle a Bike (Marin Indian Fire Trail with Manitou 2's IIRC).
I didn't recognise him and when I asked for his name and address for the receipt he loudly stated 'I am Martin Brundle' and then got very miffed because I still didn't know who he was.
Penny from GMTV in pizza express Oxford few weeks ago , no longer a milf
This saddens me.
Helen Skelton skulking around eating a dirty fried chicken takeaway at the outdoors show in Excel earlier this year...
Ronnie Wood keeps getting in my way as I'm heading out of the office for lunch. In fact on one occasion he was flirting with the checkout girl and fumbling for change in a little purse and hugely delayed my sandwich purchase!
Also seen coming out of the Flight Centre.
All in downtown Bath.
John Major in John Lewis (b*****d jumped the queue)
Prof. Heinz Wolff on the train.
(and lots of others, but they were in places I'd have expected to bump in to them)
Nancy from Hollyoaks used to come down to Aston Hill for the races years ago, her boyfriend used to race there.
my dad used to be one of the beaters and drivers for one of the big hunts in his area. Elle MacPherson and fella had rented the local castle and estate where the hunts were occuring. After seeing my dad's dog offered to buy it for a lot of money.
Tom Baker again, this time in what was the Racing Page in Richmond. My mate shared his delight in seeing him. To which Mr Baker retorted, faarrrr***** Orffffff.
Oh how we laughed!

you sure it wasn't just some other fat knacker from stokey way?
I'm pretty sure it was The Power himself
Jack Steadman ( lead singer of Bombay bicycle club) tried to chat me up, at a v drunken party. Would NOT take no as an answer lol
Seen loads of singers and bands at festivals either in the loo or queues for food ( not really unusual though)
I'm pretty sure it was The Power himself
A sighting of PTPT anywhere is good, but on a bike, bleeding fantastic.
Yasser Arafat on Chiswick High Road, late '90s. He was in the back of a limo with a rather large police presence. I also used to go to a gym near to the BBC which had a few Blue Peter presenters (Katy Hill!) in it but the best one there was seeing Bill Bailey having a personal training session.
Saw a Ferrari waiting at a roundabout a few years ago and my first thought was 'he's a bit young to be driving that' - then I realised it was Matt Bellamy from Muse.
Jeremy Clarkson, stood next to him at a urinal in the NEC a while back. Gave me a 'don't look at my cock' kind of look.
Saw Paula Radcliffe a couple of months ago in M&S simply food at Tamworth services. Gave me a warm, friendly smile.
Tim.
another Ian Brown here,
weekday morning about 830am before work, just off to get milk from what was then a Safeway at the bottom of Berwick St, soho.
He's mucking about being filmed on a silver BMX in the road. Have only seen clips of the final vid - was it FEAR?
Not Ian Brown-
The late, great Richard Whitely at the gents urinals in what was then the volcano club, glasgow!
Dolly Parton came into the Princess Louise, Holborn, with a crowd of pearly kings. They were filming and the pearlies gave us loads of beer that had been bought for them.
Donald Trump in Manhattan this April.
Winston Churchill Jr in Crete airport.
Prince Charles in the Abingdon St, Northampton. I ignored him.
Lennox Lewis Pushing in front of me in the Burger King queue at McCarren Airport, Las Vegas. That was annoying, he nearly felt my temper. He got away without a pasting from a skinny cyclist that day!!
Julie Christie on a train journey when the train broke down and it was just us two in the carriage. This was in the days when you could smoke on a train, and she asked me for a light. We sat and chatted for the rest of the journey- God but she was still gorgeous!
Ian Brown gets bloody everywhere
Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs at Glastonbury
Mrs llama was having her hair done once when KYLIE MINOGUE came and sat in the next chair
Brian Moore at Trevose Golf club, we were both in the bar waiting for the dinner service to begin at the restaurant. I wanted to buy him a drink for all of his test matches against the french, but my wife decided I would come across as a sad middle aged star struck bloke!
I kept looking on the pairs board to see if he wanted a partner for a round of golf on the classic course... no such luck 🙁
Les Caygill in Dales Bike Centre having a coffee, Legend in his own life time that bloke.
Sandi Toksvig in a pub on the west of Barra in the Outer Hebrides (the Halaman?). Summer '94.
I was with a group on an archeology field trip from University and I seem to remember Sandi was really interested in what we were doing having studied archaeology herself. (Might be remembering this last bit incorrectly as we were archaeology students in a pub so we would have had a drink or two :-)).
There was a chap with her who was quite quiet and didn't say much. Turns out it was John McCarthy and they were filming a round the UK sailing trip together.
I don't think our meeting made it into the final edit.
The Paralympic Colossus that is Richard Whitehead - in Sainsburys, middle of winter, only bloke in running shorts. It was so cold his metal legs had goose bumps.
Nice guy, especially when I told him what an experience my kids had had in the stadium watching him win that gold.

Phil the Power Taylor is a mtber?? Why were we not informed previously?!
Mark Lawrenson in the toilets at Dodd Wood near Keswick.
Smiling........ 😯
Craig Charles. At a shitty amusement arcade in Lyme Regis where we duelled on a few machines before we retired to get slaughtered on lots of ale and wine.
Nigel Farage got on the same bus as me this afternoon. He got on the number 320 in Bromley and got off at the same stop as me in Biggin Hill. He used an oyster card which suggests that he regularly uses public transport - it was the first time on a bus for me in years. He was wearing a seriously garish blue stripped blazer, made him look like some sort of clown.
All quite random and unexpected. Unfortunately the reason for being in Bromley was that Joe Brand was making a guest appearance at a summer fair for the charity Mind, sadly we missed her as she had been and gone before we arrived.
So no Joe Brand as expected, but an unexpected Nigel Farage instead 🙁
Lord Bath at the Stroud farmers market this morning.
*Jimmy Saville driving a Punto-van in Otley(when he was alive..)
*Supergrass in Asda in Brighton Marina
*Russell Howard crossing the road in front of my car in my hometown
*Timothy Spall in my tearoom asking where the toilets were when I used to work on narrowboats.
*Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in the theatre a few seats from me watching Hairspray in New York.
Dennis Lillee at a campsite fire in outback central western Queensland sometime back in the mid-1980s. I saw this bloke with a shaved head (no moustache) playing the guitar and thought I recognised him and his voice, but it wasnt until he got up and wander off for a pee that I knew who it was. I'd seen that walk a thousand times as he stalked back to his mark for his run up. God that man could bowl.
I was on an escalator with Johnny Vegas, Liverpool airport.
My Dad sat next to Stephen Hawking at the theatre in Stratford!
