Metarie Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm waiting for the influx of Mighty Boosh spottings there must have been over the weekend. Apparently they were in Snafu on Friday. Julian Barratt was mooching around Union Street and popped into my work for a coffee He's much taller than I thought he'd be...and a lot more smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Believe he left Kemnay when he got married...Now that you mention it, I believe you're right, Blackburn springs to mind. He's actually a sound enough guy, I've met him quite a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I saw him rocking out at a gig a year or two ago... 3 Inches of Blood/Biomechanical I think? It was funny as fuck, anyway.I've walked passed Billy Connelly at Ballater Highland games when I was a kid, but that's the only one that springs to mind outside of thon grey haired North Tonight metal master.We (Element) were playing that and he was quite into it when we were on. That was awesome Roisin from River City - served her in R&B. She bought a tambourine Met most of the '99 Celtic team at Parkhead. w00t.

Lemonade Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 A friend of mine bumped into him in Aberdeen and apparently he was a bit of a dick.I had a fight with him in Rileys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wirelessly posted (SonyEricssonK770i/R8BC Browser/NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1)An old colleague of mine was once working in a club in edinburgh during the festival. One busy night, Christian Slater jumped over the bar and started pouring people drinks. My mate called him a cock and i believe physically chucked him out. Personally i would have let him do pretty much whatever he wanted as he is, with the possible exception of Samuel L Jackson, the coolest motherfucker on the planet. Some elements of that story may not be 100% accurate, it was years ago he told me it.Christian Slater went to see Spamalot the same night as me in NYC in July 05, he was on his own and people were chatting to him at the bar at the interval but we couldn't be arsed.In terms of Aberdeen (not including AFC players, too many to mention) I suppose the most famous would be John Altman aka "Nasty Nick" while walking down the steps beside the theatre, he was wearing a garish Hawaian shirt. Oh, Mariella Frostrup and Adam Faith, who had been at a Mark Knopfler concert at the Capitol. Billy Connolly a few times.Mark Viduka in Edinburgh ages ago, Mark Hately in Edinburgh the other week.Jonathan Watson in Glasgow, also Neil Lennon, in teh West End, not far from where he got kicked in.Geoffrey Palmer on a flight from Aberdeen to London.Leslie Ash in Soho. Leo Sayer looking in guitar shop windows in Denmark Street, talking to a film crew in a clearly desperate attempt to be included in whatever they were filming.Sam Neill outside a Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris gig in Dublin.Gary Coleman while waiting to board a flight at LAX. Slash (who had been on that same flight) in the departure lounge of the connecting flight to Scotland, luckily I just happened to be holding a Gibson Les Paul and he signed the scratchplate and chatted about guitars.

Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I met Mike from Eskimo Blonde in Frankensteins just after I'd seen Eskimo Blonde supporting Ocean Colour Scene at Music Hall.At the time I felt like I was meeting a celebrity......I now know Mike, and that just seems ridiculous!He was sporting a fantastic pear of skinny leather trousers. Marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I saw Dr. Gillian McKeith from 'you are what you eat' at Edinburgh airport.Think yourself lucky you only saw her, her brother David (fine guy) married my half-sister so I'm related through marriage to the bastard bitch.Not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I stood and watched an entire Paolo Nutini set with the boy from North Tonight with the grey hair that does the entertainment stuff. His name escapes me, so I should probably only get a half point on that one.Luggy's supposed to be a huge metal fan, nearly fell over when I saw him at the Yacopsae/Magrudergrind gig in Drummond's back in '07. Was tempted to ask him if he was into SPD but thankfully thought better of it. Don't think he was there when we played anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 My ex girlfriend's ex boyfriend is the boy Jamie from the Kills who goes out with Kate Moss. I never met either of them but I've as good as shagged Kate Moss and Pete Docherty by association. Also, my best mate shagged Mark Burchill's ex girlfriend. I've never actually met anyone famous but I've met people who've shagged them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Cameron off of Big Brother used to wander round my old school on parents evenings and such like. I can remember sitting in music one day when he walked out of a cupboard (which linked two classrooms) only for him to be shunned by the whole class.

RF Scott Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 BB King is music based though, no?I didn't say he isn't, just that those two stand out from a load of dull music-based ones, in the same way that you could say that David Beckham stands out from a load of dull footballers.

Neil Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I saw Billy Connelly reading a newspaper in the BA Lounge at Aberdeen Airport, was sat across from Paolo Nutini (or so I was told - he just looked like a student bum to me) in a sushi resturant in Glasgow and I met the lovely Carole Smiley on the hit ITV daytime show, The People's Court.

Skull Commander Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Paul Whitehouse was on the same flight down to London from Aberdeen that I was on. He spent ages in the toilet. Quite literely a 'Crap Spot'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
