    jimmy saville lives round the corner from my parents. he goes to their church. they chat all the time. he once sponsored me a fiver for a school fun run. i've nearly run him over. twice. his fault.

    harry kewell (leeds united) has come into 2 of the shops i've worked in and bought stuff from me. one time his wife, the chick from emmerdale, was there too...

    i once saw prince naseem walking through leeds.

    Does anyone remember a saturday morning program that used to come on ITV (in the really early 90s) called 'Ghost Train'?
    Well, anyway, I remember seeing the whole cast of that show as they were filming something by Cabbot Tower in Bristol.
    And I've also seen quite a few people from Casualty (which I don't even watch) as its filmed in Bristol.

    Good, do the world a favour and keep him there will you? Spare us from his impy self.

    PaperBPrincess, Jools Holland?? No way! As in next door? Your house must be nice. (I reaaally hope you weren't joking as I'll look like a complete muffin)

    Personally I've hung out with the band puddle of mudd at an aftershow partay, phillip schofield lit up a christmas tree when I was 7ish, Met Arron and Scott from Reel Big Fish outside their gig later that day (which I went to), various other members of bands after gigs etc and that's about it, nobody really special. (apart from the RBF members of course ;))

    Dudley Sutton (he used to be in Lovejoy aeons ago) came into the restaurant where I worked, I went to school with Anna Brecon (woohoo :rolleyes: ) and Sally Clarke, and we saw Kevin off Corrie out with his family at Longleat. He is very short.

    Went backstage at an Eminem gig and so met him and his other band D12. They were all wasted!

    Have met Boyzone (the shame! :blush: )

    Have also met most of the rangers team past and present cos they all sit near me when they're injured or suspended and a lot of them live near me too. Also my friend goes out with Alex MxLeish's son so I've met him a couple of times.

    Met Dane Bowers a few years ago and stood on his cd player by accident - oops! :p

    Eh, apart from that just all the typical people that every Scottish person has probably met - Billy Connelly, Wet Wet Wet, people from Taggart

    Ooh, just remembered, I touched Bret the Hitman Hart at the wrestling once when I was about 11!!! :D

    was it not westlife that that did the grand opening thing there too? strategically timed for one week after the students all left :rolleyes:
    Yes but I didn't work there until a few weeks after it opened. It wouldn't have mattered who was there anyway, because it was invite only! So there were no fans of any of the acts actually there. The whole show was beamed back to Durham college!

    It also took place during term time, near the end of January. 16th I think it was.
