I had a wee next to Sacha-Baron Cohen in The Connaught.
I've had a wee next to Glen Matlock and Guy Garvey but not at the same time. I did speak to each of them at the time.

Organised a leaving drink for a work colleague (in the excellent Belgian beer bar in Lichfield).
It was a quiet midweek afternoon, and other than our group, there was only one other customer in the pub - so we got him to take several group photos of us.
It dawned on us a little while later that our photographer was Amarillo singer Tony Christie.

Tenuous links?
Windsor Davies once held open the door for my wife.
Her father once had tea in Balmoral after retrieving some bodies off a mountain, on the insistence of the Queen Mother….

I bought some Christmas decorations from Paul Burrell in his little shop, in the village where I spent my childhood. It used to be a general store where I would sometimes buy sweets on the way home from school. The same Primary school that Bob Mills and Matt Hancock also went to.
The drummer from OMD also lived in the village, and Ricky Tomlinson had a riverside holiday chalet about half a mile upriver.
Get me.

Prince Phillip once ran me off the road, barrelling down a country lane near Glyndebourne in a Range Rover with what I assumed were his retinue of heavily armed detectives. That toned down the idea of throwing a few road ragey f
ks at him for his driving.
Couple of weeks after that, a pal of mine ran up the back of a Daimler belonging to the Queen. She wasn't in it at the time, lucky for him.

This chap:
lives very near me, see him around quite a bit and met him a couple of times at events in the area.
My eldest son (8) is at school with, and very close friends with, the grand-daughter of Bill Cash and Charles Cathcart. This is embarrasing, as Cash & Cathcart are prominent Brexiteers
I'm staunchly European.

Before he joined Formula E and moved to London - Oliver Rowland lived 6 doors away from me and the first time i bumped into him was at Silverstone.....quite the awkward introduction.
Before that I rented an apartment, the previous occupier was Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele.
During the lockdown I did some shopping for this local legend
more tenous and apt for PH - a colleague of mine is related to Gordon Keeble
about 13 years ago my workplace hired its a knockout and had cheggers along to play host

A few that spring to mind, all close to home in Scotland ;
Paolo Nutini's sister was a guest at my wedding.
Carol Smillie asked me if I'd seen her husband, who had wandered off at an event she was hosting.
A few months ago I apologised to 'Tam from Still Game' Mark Cox when my 6 year old ran into him. (as my username suggests, I'm a Still Game fan)
I nearly ran over John Higgins in a busy car park when he walked out without looking.
