Something that's true no one would believe

[Lululime2024]

so Something happened this morning that's so funny to me but I can't really say it to anyone because they'll think I'm nuts so I'll start.

i genuinely turned a corner in Lidl this morning and Tracy beaker was there (dani harmer) I'd heard rumours she had moved to my town but I wasn't sure. But no, sure enough there she was.

I won't say where just incase there's some odd balls super fans but there you go. Have you ever bumped into a celeb in an odd place or something happened that no one would believe?

Please tell me she's as lovely as she comes across on TV.

I dont really think any of these famous people meetings are interesting, or unbelievable. These people exist and go about their lives crossing paths with hundreds of people every day.

The unbelievable science facts are far more interesting

I own an unpublished roald Dahl poem

Donny Osmond sang directly to me , whilst he put his arm around my shoulder 😋

I ran into Jim Moir (then better known as Vic Reeves) in my local supermarket many moons ago. I think he might have been visiting family in the area. Loads of people will have seen him there so not too difficult a story to believe!

I saw Spike Milligan outside my local Waterstones. He was very tall, slim, elegant and handsome. Really enigmatic.

I bumped into Helena and Tim in the play area at London Zoo.

However famous you are, the experience of finding that your three year old would much rather go on the swings (exactly the same swings as the ones in your local park) for an hour than see the actual fucking tigers that we've spent loads of time and money coming to see, and will throw a tantrum when you try to remove them, unites us all.

I had a quite lengthy convo on insta with a very very very famous rock star. Well about 20 messages all in. know it was really him as it had the blue dot. When I told my mates they all thought I’d turned into some sort of fool and couldn’t beleive it. One laughed and said yeah sure, I showed rhe blue dot, and the convo and it was indisputable so they all kinda looked at me weird like why would he be talking to me. Even if I mention it now, they look at me a bit stunned.

I actually don’t know why he talked to me, I think he was a bit bored. He just asked things like how long I’d followed the band etc, was I coming to any of their up and coming tour dates, where was I from etc,

I also put a comment on a very well know uk celebs official insta saying id done something similar to something she posted about , she responded back and asked me about it, then must have looked at my insta, seen my posts where i had done this thing , and she then liked them all. Which bizzarely then caused loads of people to look and either like or try to talk to me. Simply as she had liked them.

One really interesting fact (that I learned here on MN) is that Edinburgh is further west than Liverpool and Bristol. No-one ever believes me until they Google it.

Turkeys and giraffes are bisexual.

I was in Asda and was dressed up as I had been out for lunch with old school friends. This couple came towards me and the woman said she loved my dress. I just said thank you and my Dh was laughing. It was Keith lemon and scary spice, I did get a picture they were filming for celebrity juice

Who's this at the very beginning of this clip? I don't know here name, but she was in my local Tesco about 10 years ago.

That’s Jenny Eclair.

Thank you! That's annoyed me forever! You can't really Google 'Who was the celebrity I saw in Tesco?'

Seeing as this thread has somewhat swayed from the title and we are talking about random celeb encounters - here's mine 😂

We went to Florida in January and as we got off Kilimanjaro Safaris, Michael Buble was getting on! (At the exit cos queuing is for peasants obv) You know when you look at someone and do a double take cos you recognise them and think you know them, then realise 😂

So random!

Many moons ago in my 20s I had a short fling with Doctor Who.

(Well he wasn't the Doctor then tbf.)

I'm not saying WHICH Doctor it was but I can tell you NOBODY (who didn't know me at the time and a few who did) believes me.

I have never been in the TARDIS. ☹

Jesus! It wasn’t Madonna. I wouldn’t know Tracey Beaker if she came up and bit me on the arse.

No that can’t be true!

I once saw Heather from eastenders in Poundland ....

There is an internationally famous movie star from my (small) city. My pal went to see a film starring this man, walked out of the cinema down the street, walked past this man, said hello then went WTF just happened there!!!

And once you've done that, go back into Russia and then get on a boat for a short hop across to the USA.

(And get promptly get arrested, but ... it's physically possible, in summer.)

Did he show you his sonic screwdriver??! 🪛

My story is so random is sounds made up.

Many years ago I was in the VIP section of our local bar, Katie Price was the 'VIP' that night. She was very drunk and was in the loos complaining that her phone had run out of battery. I let her use mine, which she did to send a message then because I was also drunk I left her in the loos with my phone, I retrieved it later that night.

I got home and in the morning realised my sim card was missing, she must have put hers in once I had left the bathroom. When I received a new sim I found a load of text messages saying stuff like who are you, how did you get this number etc. I called the number and it was an international dialling tone. Turns out it was Dane Bowers who she had messaged from my phone before switching her sim and he was out of the country. He was really nasty and kept saying his number was ex directory, I was like you messaged me, he then said are you a friend of Katie's then I clicked. Totally bizarre.

Numerous times 🤣
