Jarvis Cocker - an absolute delight.
Nicky Wire - lots of times - the most incredible funny, friendly and caring man.
Jo Whiley - bubbly and lovely.

Janick Gers (of Iron Maiden) in Morrisons. He's from here, and comes home to visit his family regularly.

Two in very appropriate places.

Marcus Wareing in the Le Cruset shop in Wimbledon Village. Very blue eyes.

David Suchet in the lobby at the Oxford Playhouse. Some bloke was holding forth loudly about how he had brought "David"; I was waiting for friends and idly looked at "David" only to recognise him as Poirot! Shortish and slight, quite dark and wearing black. I did several double takes.

I stayed at the same hotel as Billy Connolly in Dublin and ran into him constantly, even sat next to him for breakfast.

Al Pacino was eating at the same restaurant as I was and had to ask me to move out of his way so he could get by as it was packed.

Donald Sutherland in Toronto at a lovely Italian restaurant before I saw him in a show that evening.

all mine are food related haha

Catherine tate in the supermarket (grumpy, did not approach!), Sally Phillips in the street, Jonny Vegas (SO nice), Dara OBrien at work (shop), Tom Hardy (just a glimpse as I was serving someone else much to my utter devastation ofc), Aled Jones (I didn’t recognise him, I was told after the fact who it was!), Noel Edmunds (this was at a festival a long time ago, I was dancing outside he vip tent but didn’t realise it at the time!), Kojey Radical (poet/rapper) at the roundhouse bumped into him after a gig. Most of these are through work and just because of the part of London I live and work in…

Dame Judi Dench.

Lives nearby. Was grocery shopping.

Most famous (to me, but showing my age!!) has to be Bob Hope at a cafe in Santa Cruz (about 25 yrs ago, he was v old - I was totally starstruck)

Personal favourite - Jarvis Cocker browsing in a vintage furniture place in Islington. Was just him and me and DH in this small basement room. We played it very cool but I sort of wish I'd said hi.

Weirdest combo - Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand having a guided tour of Hampton Court Palace. Her daughter was there, too. I think it came out in the press about a week later that they were dating (briefly).
