No idea where she lives, but her tough-looking husband has a farm in Yorskshire...

Yes, see him everywhere. He often turns up for 'community' events (last saw him a Heber School Summer Fair). He also campaigns on various local issues on LL. Quite sweet really. Didn't know he was a celeb outside this parish until I saw him in the Evening Standard.

My son has castigated me for not getting Helen Ledrer's autograph when I see her. He is a big Dr Who fan.

Saw Paul McGann on Crystal Palace Road.

I wizzed past on my bike so didn't get time to ingratiate myself or anything.

I've loved him since I saw him in Gaskin years ago.

[RosieH]

I've loved him since he was I many years ago and I cannot believe you didn't kidnap him and bring him to me.

[Moos]

Paul McGannnnn is exquisitely beautiful, until he smiles. I feel this has to be recorded as a disadvantage.

[cate]

There are a lot of McGann brothers. I get them confused.

[Frankie G]

See Shirley from enders every time I go to Sainsburys, so much so I think she is stalking me !!!

[Michael Palaeologus]

I wonder how many of these famous (famous-ish, barely famous, who?) people follow the Forum or even post?

James Nesbit is Dulwichmum by the way.

[GoosedGreen]

I saw Diane Abbott (MP) working at the counter of the Post Office today.

The service was utter shite.

[the-e-dealer]

I Saw President Obama on TV.

I think James Nesbit is a good actor, I liked him in cold feet,and all the other things he has done.

I bought his version of Jekyl,and thought he played the evil side well.

The only part I couldnt get to grips with, was his role as Pontius Pilate,his Irish accent put me off.

Similar to Sean Connery when he played an English king,but he was annoying because he made an effort to speak with

an English accent when he took the role of James Bond.

I would like to liketo see James in a period drama.

Jo Brand was in front of me a week past Friday in the Sainsbury queue.

Comedian Micky Flanagan in the CPT yesterday watching Spurs v Man Utd.

[Loz]

No wonder I don't see many famous people - I've never heard of half the ones mentioned here!

[SeanMacGabhann]

If you haven?t heard of Mickey Flanagan yet, you will but Christmas next year ? I reckon this is the year he breaks out and becomes the number 1 standup DVD next Christmas

Plus he?s on at the Hob tonight along with many others

I was going to post that almost word for word earlier.

I don't think I would recognise anyone famous if they were standing in front of me.

I have trouble recognising the people I know somwtimes. :)

Saw Ellie from La Roux in Sainsbury's just before Christmas. Made eye contact just as I was nudging my partner. Hate that!

[Bic Basher]

I saw the actress who played Di Barker from Bad Girls on a 176, she got off at Goose Green. Jenny Eclair and husband in Sainsburys DKH, Jo Brand waiting for a bus on LL opposite the barracks and Mickey Flanagan in Sainsburys.

Years ago, it was ridiculously easy to spot cast members of The Bill, including the actor who played DS Roach talking his pets to the vet opposite the Harvester or riding his bike around ED and Peckham. Also two other cast members who were using the cashpoint at Lloyds TSB.

My mother also spotted Cathy Shipton (Casualty's Duffy) in Rye Lane years ago.

[Craftygirl]

I agree with what your saying Steve. When I first joined the forum I also had one or two people making similar comments to me, it made me not want to bother coming on. However, I thought why should these 'critical' few stop me from using this when there are so many nice & helpful people on here. The minority just aren't worth bothering with. Stick with it Steve.
