What about Colin Jackson coming back from Seville on Iberia? Won a Gold Medal at the World Championships and I got the hostess to get him autograph my newspaper(for my son I might add) which had a picture of him on the front page.Later got a bollocking from him when I met him in the gents at the airport. She had woken him up to get him to do it. Ha! You can't refuse me points now can you?

Did you get a bollicking from Peter Stringfellow? What's he ever done? I got a bollocking from a World Champion! Stick that in yer pipe!

Now.....how many points?

I was on the same flight home this week as Thom Yorke. He is as miserable as sin (I already knew that) but he's also seriously small. Granted when I first bumped into him we were in the lounge and I was wearing big heels (I'd just come from a do) but I changed out of those clothes and later on he was sitting in front of me for the whole flight and the guy is only the same height as me (5ft 4). I really wanted to tell him that his band is shite and he needs to cheer up a bit but I didn't. He was very attentive with his kids though.

Compared to Stringfellow? On Easyjet?!

Get real. Nul points.

I saw the Modfather 'Paul Weller' in Bayswater. He was miserable and rude. I walked past George Harrison and his wife in Henley (back when he was alive, I'm no Doris Stokes). He looked like a tramp but there was something in the way he moved.

I saw Gwen Stefani in the Airport in LA. She has loads of makeup and is really short (so short she should have had a fishing rod and red hat). Having said that, she is still incredibly beautiful.

Oh, I saw Kate Moss in Primrose Hill. She looked rough, nothing special.

Blimey, I sound like a stalker!

What about the whole Queensland Rugby Union team on Quantas from Brisbane plus getting ME drinks throughout the flight? Included Micheal Lynagh and Tim Horan to name but a couple.

Narnia - I think you really haven't got the hang of Bob's scoring system...

[Narnia]

Obviously not Jeremy. I'm just looking for pity now though!

[Loz]

Kind of related to the original post...

How about Howard from Take That, in a cheap Mexican restaurant, where he had to be moved on as he was on the table/area we'd reserved?

[*Bob*]

That's not bad, Loz - well into the twenties there.

I saw Mark Owen a while back, whilst trying to gatecrash a Duran Duran come-back gig in Camden (don't ask) and I too was taken aback by just how short he was. Mind you, he got in and I didn't. Don't know why.

[Narnia]

I slept with Dana the year she won the Eurovision!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Was she dirty? She looked dirty.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well I guess it takes all kinds of everything.

Ok,I didn't really. I just wanted some points.

Narnia, I believe *Bob*s score is inversely proportional to how interesting/impressive the story actually is.

In doing so, he is implying that the various sightings of minor celebrities reported on these boards - usually with much excitement - are in fact petty and mundane.

[*Bob*]

You're half right, Jez.

In fact, Mrs *Bob* and myself take a perverse (but genuine) delight in spotting D-listers under the most mundane or incongruous of circumstances.

So, for example, in out current 'international' spots: her spotting Andy Garcia filming an Ocean's scene whilst she sipped free bubbly in a rooftop suite in Bellagio might indeed be noteworthy, but I won hands down by bumping into Ricky out of Eastenders, coming out of a toilet in Space, chewing his face off.

I can't believe no one was impressed with my Mark Oaten gag. I was well pleased with that.

Thanks Jeremy but for God's sake who here is interested in the Queensland Rugby Union team?

Did I mention that I had a conversation with Hugo MacNeill on a flight back from Edinburgh?

Oh I nearly forgot that I met my brother who was on tele last week in the French abode of Duncan B.... (Dragon's Den).Food programme in Mougins, but expect negative points knowing BoB!

[legalbeagle]

Oh yeah and I once saw Brian Moore arguing with the ticket sales desk at Chancery Lane tube station. I reckon I get points for that *Bob*?

[ryedalema]

I saw a very sweaty James Nesbitt in a cafe in Herne Hill last Saturday morning - but I guess he's spotted around here lots - right?

Also saw Adam Ricketts (Corrie star) chewing his face off at a rave I organised once (another lifetime ago).

[Narnia]

I used to see Mr.Nesbitt quite a lot when he lived in ED but not since he moved (comment and not points seeking *BoB*).

[ryedalema]

I see the scary teacher from Grange Hill - not Bronson the one with beard - walking almost every day when I drop the girls at nursery (near Denmark Hill). I can't get any points for that I suppose unless he was walking a ferret??

[Narnia]

I'd like a score update.

[*Bob*]

'Bullet Baxter'?!

That's points right there! Ferret or not.

Ricky Gervais was waiting in my tailors the last time I got a suit made. He was an utter prick.

I'd made an appointment and had been a customer for years - since I first started earning a wage where you can have the odd suit made, so I was well known and long standing client. I strolled in 5 minutes before my allotted time and had my fitting as you do...

Gervais was looking grumpy and pissed off when I rocked up and my arrival seemed to exacerbate his mood. He is extra fat and tiny with greasy hair and is so full of imagined self importance. As an aside I've met far bigger stars who have been usually very pleasant, but that little cnut seems to positively revel in his supposed stature.

He's not a star, he happens to be famous, but the talent to fame ratio is a bit lop-sided in my opinion.
