I was being a bit of a nosey bar-steward but it was still a surprise.

The only guitarist I've seen randomly out and about is Dave Hill :(
-
Well he wasn't exactly out and about.
A few years back Michael Winner was on the telly talking about something or other and he said that Jimmy page is his next door neighbour. I happened to know where Michael Winner lived as I delivered somthing to his house years ago when I worked as a Motorcycle Courier. I had to go down this street again today so I thought I'd have a look at the houses next to MW's to see if I could work out which one is JP's.
One side of MWs is a block of private flats and the otherside is this huge house that looked like it could be the one. So I pulled up outside in my truck. As it's quite high I could see over the wall and through a window on the ground floor. A light was on and it was easy to see inside. As I was looking two men came into the room and one had White hair with a pony tail, he turned around and it was him. I was very surprised to have seen him and wasn't expecting to at all. I didn't hang around though as it's rude to stare. Nosey bleeder ain't I! :lol:

He used to deal with Soundcontrol in Birmingham a lot when I worked there. He ALWAYS introduces himself as Dave Hill From Slade.

Which is why JP ended up writing the music for Death Wish 2 :lol: ! I'm quite surprised they both still live in the same houses after all this time.
Great story, Johnny! :)

I once saw Adrian Belew in Wardour Street. And Steve Harris with two of his kids in Leicester Square.

That's not a creepy story at all is it Johnny, eh? :lol: :lol: :lol: :P
Poor Jimmy, no young girls stalking him any more... He just gets freaked out by a hulking 6 foot plus Spurs fan staring through his window from a skip lorry before gunning the engine in a panic and crawling off down the road! :? :lol:
-
I saw Elvis Costello in Andy's on Denmark St. and an orange-faced Dale Winton in HMV on Oxford St.

the question is - can this thread be used as evidence in court?
-
I saw Afghan Dave in a bar in Croyden last summer too. :lol:

That reminds me Johnny...
When are you gonna drag your ass a mile down the road for a beer down the pub with me?

I know it's about time. I can't this weekend but I'll see if I can next. Are you around then?

I saw Noel Gallager in Primrose Hill in the '90s.
I've seen loads of famous people around London. I even saw Sue Pollard from Hi De Hi once.
-
I shagged a bird out of Brookside once :P
Also seen one of my vomit stains on telly next to Jill Dando. There, that's my two claims to fame, both in Liverpool funilly enough.
-
If it wasn't Anna Friel, we're not interested, if it was Anna Friel, pics or it never happened :D
-
Wasn't Anna Freil :(
-
Everyone knows what the next question should be :lol:
-
Dunno her name. Was on the piss in Liverpool about 13 years ago, met a girl in a pub. Got talking. Bumped uglies.
She kept saying she was in Brookside and I kept not believing her saying that not all scousers are in brookside. Couple of weeks later my mate phoned me and told me to put the telly on. Turns out she was in brookside after all.
-
Jimmy Corkill!

They're not, but they are all in Hollyoaks.
-
Was it Amanda Burton? She was in Brookside in the '80s. I met her at a party once but never shagged her.
Robert Smith of The Cure was always driving around London in a beach buggy so he was easy to spot.
Let's think who else I've seen,
Michael Caine, Noel and Liam Gallager, Lenny Henry, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Sue Lawley, Jools Holland, Bruce Dickenson, Robin Cook, The Queen, Prince Andrew, Princess Diana and Ann, Paula Yates, Vic Reeves, Harry Enfield, Willy Rushton, Tony Hadley, Ron Atkinson, Ant or Dec, Dr Legg, Phil Mitchel, Barbara Windsor, Sharon Watts, Mel Smith, Gryff Rees Jones, Terry Scott & June Whitfield, Tony Blackburn, Matt Lucas & David Walliams, Patsy Kensit, Sean Penn, Lindford Christie, Dennis Waterman, George Cole, Pat Roach, Barry McGuigan, Martin Clunes and lots more that I've probably forgotten. I saw all these people out and about as opposed to peering through their windows.

They say that most "offenders" usually progress up the scale over time so that sounds about par for the course... :? :o

talking of robert smith of the cure, i lived in his old flat in redhill, surrey about 25 yrs ago, a few locals despised him
'cause he was weird but more so 'cause all the girls liked him.rat scabies's dad (the dammed) lived down the road too.
i also met lemmy in a pub in london about 30 yrs ago when i was a 15 yr old . he was with a girl, but i went up an said 'are you lemmy', when he replied there was no mistaking his authenticity and i very proudly told him that i saw
them on their overkill tour in liverpool a few months back and that i was in the front row. he promptly said he recognised me saying he never forgets a face, i was chuffed! maybe this attitude is why the man is universally liked.
