You'll never guess who I saw at Victoria station tonight!

[Philly Q]

So, I was waiting for my train tonight at London Victoria and I saw a guy exiting the platform in front of me - short, stocky, fifty-something with long hair and a grey beard, he caught my attention because he looked like a musician.  Or maybe a well-off roadie.

He was met by another middle-aged guy who didn't look like a musician, but did look very familiar.

Then a third guy turned up - taller, skinny, dressed in an expensive-looking overcoat and with white hair tied in a ponytail.  I thought he definitely looks like a musician.  Then he turns round and....



..... it's James Patrick Page, OBE.  :o



They walked past me and I just stood there grinning like an idiot.  Then they were gone.

Wonder what he was doing there?

Awesome Philly! :D Sometimes small things can be great

[Sancho]

Wonder what he was doing there?

Just a wild guess : catching a train perhaps?
 :P

I wonder if he had a ticket.

[Tellboy]

You should have tried to flog him some of those guitar bits you've got under your bed :lol:

Well no, he wasn't   :P  - he and the second guy were meeting the first guy who'd just arrived at the station.

So maybe the question is, who was the first guy?

You should have snagged a pic with your phone, Phil!

[AndyR]

Sorry Philly - it was me (hair's gone white with all the house-purchasing worry), I saw you but I was late for meeting the guys for a curry... should've said hi, but...

:lol:


Seriously though, I think Mr Page is one of the famous people I'd actually risk making a dick of myself over and try to say hello and, well, "thankyou".

I'd probably have ended up doing the same as you though :roll:

Not possible, Dave!  :lol:



(Although I would never dream of doing that anyway)

Yeah, I was thinking I should say something - I tried to make eye contact, at least - but the moment just sort of passed....  :?

[Philly Q]

Oh, I forgot to say - I realised the second guy was Ross Halfin, the photographer.

Still no idea who the first bloke was, though.

[Ian Price]

Nice one Philly. I wonder of Jimmy realised he was stood near the most active poster to the BKP forum. Perhaps not but I reckon he would have been equally star struck!

[Twinfan]

Blimey Phil, you technophobe!  :lol:

The other guy wasn't Rick Rubin was it?

[Philly Q]

Technophobe?  The Nokia 3310 is the Les Paul Junior of mobiles!  :P



But no, definitely not Rick Rubin!

This bloke certainly "looked British" and had a full head of hair.  He made me think of a younger, much heavier Mick Box (although there wasn't really that much resemblance).

Perhaps not!  :lol:

It wasn't, you know, [whisper]Santa[/whisper], was it?

Santa always travels by a reindeer-driven sleigh, so we can scratch him off.
