    I've been playing a version for years :). Best ever was probably stumbling across a film set for Entrapment at Southwark Cathedral.We asked what was going on and got told the car in front of us had just been used for filming with Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery. OK they're very famous but we thought just missing them more than made up for that :D.

    Anyone else seen anyone obscure? Caz is bannned cos she knows someone properly famous :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • What about personal famous moments... I once told a joke on freetime when in primary school, I was also regularly the nurse doing someone's blood pressure when they talked about my hospital on the news (year's ago), I was also in the paper ice skating when they opened a new rink (70's). See .. My fame is HUGE !!

    Edgar Allan poe was lucky enough to go to the high school I did, and George Orwell was once treated in the hospital where I have done some work, wish I knew him ... sigh ...

    A few of us at work have a bit of a joke going about it so we get random text messages - but I usually have to look up and see who they are on about. Jarvis Cocker on the tube reading The Guardian was my best spot :D

    MWC to Mr MWC "Who is your best celebrity spot?"

    Mr MWC "Patrick Stewart"

    MWC "Oo where was that?"

    Mr MWC "New York subway. You were with me..."

    Oh dear, forgetful and rubbish :rotfl:

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
  • I once literally bumped into Rory Bremner on Dean Street in Soho, does that count? Served quite a few celebs when I was working at HMV in Cambridge and in the big one on Oxford Street as well. Alan Rickman managed to get every female member of staff in the place down to the Classical department!

    A former work colleague once took a customer order of a My Little Pony DVD for Robert Carlyle, she was amused :)
