Played pool with Seal (the singer - not the animal!) when I was 18.

Shook hands with the Queen Mum. Very yellow teeth. 8)

Years ago, Nigel Havers stepped back into a hotdog that I was holding (no, that's not a euphamism) and got a big splodge of ketchup on the back of his coat. :shock:

Er, thats about it!!

Victor Mildrew (can't remember the guy who plays him), in local convenience store, 2000-ish.

Daniel Radcliffe (more than just 'met'), and we (couple of mates) went to see behind the scenes at Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets at both studios (Limehouse and one I cannot remember name, even though I have never read the books.

I sat next to Katie Ford (Tracey from Corrie) on the tube a couple of weeks back and had a bit of a chat. She was on the way to her hotel to get ready for that big awards do (Soap Awards) which she won an award. She was looking at me for a while before i said Hi.

She lives in the same appartment block as my now ex and often shared the lift together when i left.

Met the Princess Royal who presented me the Chief Scout Award when I was 15 (12 #gulp# years ago)

Met Bill Oddie in the Peak District once!

I have 2 famous people's number in my phone - a very famous gay porn star who actually persued me - despite his fame and obvious abilities on film, he is a really crap kisser! :D but now a good friend and he often visits me when passing through london.

The other guy i will not even hint at a clue - he's a an ex and he deserves his privacy.

I used to serve JK and Joel drinks (the new Top 40 presenters on Radio 1) in Manchester when they used to DJ at Key 103. JK actually messaged me on gaydar once too!

And last but not least, through another Ex, when to an awards ceremony and sat at the same table as Kylie and we danced together. She still kknows me by name and even let me see backstage after her Showgirls concert in London recently.

There's actually two more I remember seeing in London, one in good circumstances the other not.

:arrow: Gwenth Strong (Cassandra in Only Fools & Horses) at Highbury watching an Arsenal Ladies FC Game.

:arrow: Marc Almond (Singer from Soft Cell) at the scene of the horrific bike crash he had on Cannon Street recently.

Why's Richard Wilson the only one not looking at the camera??
Because Nictor Meldrew had just at that second spotted a man letting a dog poo on the pavement outside his house.

Today at London Bridge Tube Station I saw TV Times columnist Tina Baker running down the stairs, you could tell the British People as they noticed her whereas the Tourists didn't bat an eyelid.

A few years ago also I saw Bermondsey Lib Dem MP Simon Hughes at Ilford GER Station although Christ knows why he was there.

That ever so famous TV Times columnist Tina Baker could run up to me, punch me, and scream "I'M TV TIMES COLUMNIST TINA BAKER" and I'd still have no idea who she is.

The conclusion: I am a tourist.

Yes she's not that famous but I'm sure she was on one of those "reality shows" last year, that's how I recognised her, plus seeing her in The TV Times a few minutes before I posted
