I love those Ditty  I could site a couple of instances like that but I'd be revealing too much about me and my family. I can't even be vague....okay I might have been at school with one of Mick Jagger's kids (he's got so many, I could be aged from 50 to 2, I guess )

and I saw that Amos bloke (he was the one with the sideburns wasn't he?) on a train propping up the bar in the restaurant carraige... 

 

& on a different train I saw Danny La Rue & a load of kids that seemed to be with him (or they were on a group outing or something)..    from the look on his face, and from the comments we overheard the kids saying, I don't think it was a match made in heaven

most recent one...    outside hubbys old flat in Kilburn (where his brothers still live)..   we were prevented from crossing the road by Annie Lennox doing the worst 3 point turn I have ever seen 

 

 

oh...oh...oh..  & on a date with my first internet boyfriend, we were sitting in the lounge of the Grafton Hotel..  & LIam Gallagher was in there with his mates.      It was the weekend that the radio was saying no one knew where he was...  I think he was in the process of splitting up with Patsy.

hubby used to knock of the tart that owned the house used at the beginning of the first harry potter film (privett drive or sommat)    I am fuzzy on the technicalities of the role of the house in the film, asI have little interest in Harry Potter, & as I tell hubby even less interest in hearing about his sordid exploits with the bint without morals
