kirsten Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I saw Alex from "The Real Hustle" crossing Union Street at lunchtime.Maybe they're filming here.... watch your possesions Oh god, if he comes into Waterstone's tomorrow to try and steal the cash-dollar I'll be royally ticked off. I'm jealous of Dr Karl. I meant to go see him at Moshulu, but forgot, then the Lemon Tree, but I was on a post-London comedown so didn't bother. Like a fool!

Afro Droid Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Rolf Harrison a few year's back in the Littlewoods cafe - he was awesome; Billy Connelly in the bookies on King Street (seen him out and about in Aberdeen a few times, but that was the closest encounter); Camilla Parker Bowles on a flight to London.Victoria Beckham walked past me in the street in London one time too...

Moose Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I knocked over Jeffrey De Visscher's daughter in the Tesco on King Street. He was with her and said "hey man what you doing?2 and I said "oh, sorry I didn't see her. You're Jeffrey De Visscher." He then did a weird Fonze-esque pose with his two thumbs up then walked off. I only meet Aberdeen players in the King Street Tesco... Darren Mackie, Jackie Macnamara and Chris Maguire. Chris Maguire was just after Aberdeen had lost 4-0 to Peterhead in pre-season. I said nothing.I went to school with Andrew Considine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 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.I've met Goldie Lookin' Chain as well. Mystikal was having a smoke at the bus stop outside the Lemon Tree when they played there in October 2004. Nice chaps.I spotted Pedro Mendes in the Buchanan Galleries the last time we were in Glasgow.On a vaguely more fashionable note, I met Mark Ronson last year.

Moose Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I just remembered Edinburgh festival 2007! Simon Amstel officially hates my cheeky, irish flatmate and I. We kept bumping into him and drunkenly jabbering at him. He was a bit of a cock so we proceeded to just annoy him everytime we saw him, which racked up to about 4 times in as many days! Andrew Maxwell was good craic though, came for a beer with us and all. Was a good week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Edinburgh festival is a treat for celeb spotting. One of the most surreal moments of my life happen in Edinburgh during festival time... First Michael Caine drove past in a porsche as I was crossing the road, at the other side I spotted Clive Anderson then a guy rolled down his window and shouted at him...'you've got nae fuckin neck!!' As for actually meeting them... Ronnie O'sullivan signed a pair of trainers for me once (had no paper at the time and he suggested it... Legend) and Dave Gorman gave me a badge (He's like the coolest nerd you know times 10). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 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.I served him in Boots once. Along with Darren Mackie. But not at the same time.Although Aberdeen players don't count, me and a friend also saw Chris Clark and Scott Severin Christmas shopping a couple of years ago in the Bon Accord Boots.I also saw the wifey that plays Roisin in River City on Langstane Place once. Random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name escapes me, so I should probably only get a half point on that one.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.

Nev Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Chris Harvey is the grey haired bloke. Met him at a Captain Face gig last year.I meet many famous people, but the best was probably Gem from Oasis in Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran_imray Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I served Phil McGuire and Fernando Pasquinelli (remember him?), on seperate occasions, when I worked in Tesco's at Danestone. I remember McGuire buying value cola. Seen Billy Connolly out and about a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMac Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I saw Dr. Gillian McKeith from 'you are what you eat' at Edinburgh airport.Now that I think of it, a good indication of a crap celeb is when you feel you have to explain why they are famous Is she not the epitome of crap celebs seeing as she is literally famous for digging through peoples crap?As for the earlier comment about Mackie being hammered, that's not unusual, or at least never used to be. You can take the loon out of Kemnay, but you can't take Kemnay out of the loon. Actually, I think he still lives there, surprised he's not on smack! As for spotting celebs, I don't think I ever have or will, because I couldn't care less about any of the publicity seeking c*nts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely one of the better ones!Apart from Mark Ronson, the best proper celebrities I've met are golfers probably, at Carnoustie. Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and Davis Love spring to mind. Met Ally McCoist aged six as well.I was six. Not McCoist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 On the not so good footballers thing - I used to play football against Shaun Maloney and Stuart Duff fairly regularly. Stuart Duff was amazing (central midfielder) and Maloney was nothing special....Proper famous people - I met Liam Gallagher, Bonehead and Patsy Kensit at Heathrow when I was on a football trip, think I was 14. Liam Gallagher is a top bloke in real life - sat and signed autographs for an entire football team of kids, posed for photos etc The entire QPR team (with Mark Hately and fuck knows who else) was also there that day, but I wasn't interested in any of their autographs!Others I've chatted at at gigs etc include Roddy Woomble and the entire Bootleg Beatles (okay, they're not really famous...), Chris Helme (Seahorses...) and Steven Milne.

Lemonade Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe he left Kemnay when he got married...In aberdeenArchie from balamoryGood shout. I briefly met him at the Hogmanay street party a few years back when he was in panto up here.I've also met serial womaniser John Leslie in his Blue Peter days, and taken a pish next to the BBC's Richard Gordon at a Peterhead game.
