I accidentally made friends with someone very famous, now what?

[CornflakeShark]

I feel a bit of a dork here but hear me out. I met Peter* at one of my regular fav haunts. It's a quiet, out-of-the-way place used by those who share a common pass-time. Peter & I must have similar schedules because we often rock-up at the same time. Over a period, we've progressed from a smile & nod at a distance, to polite small-talk, to sharing a space to do our hobby side-by-side - with the accompanying chit-chat that goes with it. I felt like we were right on the cusp of becoming quite pally. I don't have a tv & seldom read the news online apart from a quick scan of the headlines, I'm a bit out of touch really. Then a week ago I suddenly saw his pic in the news & thought 'Oh fuck'. I was shocked. I know Peter's just a bloke like any other person underneath it. He doesn't court the press like some do but now I feel a bit funny about the next time we meet up. He's never told me who he is other than first names & I suspect he likes the quiet friendship. I feel funny about it now. Do I say something? If I don't I feel a bit awkward. Wwyd?

I used to be a tv producer..., wandering across the latter part of this thread is pretty much a verbatim account of every development brainstorming session I went to.

Please tell me Michael Gove doesn't go dogging.

This thread is marvelous and sheep you just made it even better.

This must be the most unlikely 'Relationships' thread ever!

I think it's either close-up magic with Tom Hiddlestone or either brass-rubbing or bell ringing with Jacob Rees Mog. Or possibly dog agility training with Stormzy.

Flower arranging with Gary Lineker

This thread has properly cheered me up.

I used to own a little chocolate fountain catering company, and we were hired to do the wrap party for an ITV tv show years ago. There were a few tv stars milling about, but mostly production crew.

I don't watch live telly, haven't for years. I had no idea who the people were, though they looked a bit familiar. Later my star-struck friend/colleague for the night told me their names. I only remember Jonny Vegas though. He asked if there was any savoury food on offer; I told him I was only hired for the chocolate fountain and pointed out other serving staff. Thrilling stuff.

Do you think 'Parkour with Gove' stands a chance, Sheep?

Sheepdog trials with Stormzy?
Bonsai with Bono?

This is my favourite thread ever.

To previous pp’s who wanted the low down on my previous post - sorry, still keeping schtum on that one (despite it being horribly identifiable to everyone I’ve wheeled that anecdote out to over the last 20 years!). Daily fail and suchlike such arseholes who trawl these boards because they lack imagination or any journalistic skill - its sadly too public a forum!
