    Went to a restaurant in Richmond last week and I couldn’t take my eyes of a beautiful woman that looked the splitting image of Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay of Friends).

    Friend of mine from work ended up exchanging some very-very mildly suggestive messages with Huw Edwards on Instagram a couple of Fridays ago. Having read the messages, I think he was just being friendly/older generation innocently not really getting social media... but it was funny.
    Doesn't he work for the BBC....just saying....
    Haha, I'm gonna say it definitely wasn't anything sinister - watching the message exchange live in the pub was an experience. Did not expect to have a lengthy debate about whether Huw Edwards was coming onto my mate or not, though. "Ooh he's typing!!" :open_mouth:
    @Oh_Yoni_Boy

    You need to come back with some more detail! 
    Haha, just seen this. Yeeah I'm not super surprised :D

    To be honest, it might have been a bit more suggestive than I let on but can't remember the detail now! Wanted to err on the side of caution before calling him a dirty old boy on an internet forum.

    Funnily enough she did ask to touch my wand.
  • Saw Vic Reeves in a toilet the other day.

    Didn't ask to touch his wand.

    Paul Daniels filled up his car at my work the other month. He didn't have a loyalty card. :-(
    I like this, but not a lot...

    Kevin Ayers - my hero, in 1993. Never realised he was a junkie but was still very suave and coolness itself.

    No just  sort of crouched next to me and did this weird thigh rubbing thing?

    To be honest it was the least exciting celebrity spot ever, he was just leaving the gents as I went in, had time to think "oh that's Vic Reeves!" then he'd gone.

    pretty sure I have said this before, maybe even on this thread

    John Terry's parents would occasionally drink in a pub in Chafford Hundred
    One Saturday/Sunday he was in there with them, and found myself in the toilets at same time as him.

    At our respective urinals, when a kid about 9/10 years old comes in and conversation goes something like : 

    Kid - Are you a footballer?
    JT - yes, I am 
    Kid - do you play for Chelsea ?
    JT - that's right I do
    Kid - And England ?
    JT - yeah
    Kid - my Dad says you are a cnut

    Kid walks out and JT just turns to me and said 'Charming'

    Didn't wanna tell him I agreed, whilst I had my knob out.

    I was in a diner on the Olympic Peninsula on Friday, and Garrett McNamara (of 100ft wave fame) came in and sat at the booth next to ours.

    Some of these are scraping the barrel so here goes.. I met Darryl McCormack when he was about 7 years old running around my uncles farm in Tipperary. He’s related to my cousins and I know his family. 

    You may not know who he is right now but I’m sure a lot will do in a few years.. so will come back to this one when he’s a superstar, hopefully. Still won’t beat my Bill Clinton one mind you.

    I accidently trod on his toe as he was getting off the Scunthorpe team coach at Millwall in the early 80's.

    During the 2023 Ashes, I bumped into Brendon McCullum as he was walking down Brompton Road on his way to the Oval.
    Now that was a proper random moment!
