Walking out of my office building on the phone to my missus and there's a guy walking in with a bunch of people mostly dressed in suits.
I give the guy a quick glance, he's wearing casual stuff with a messenger bag, I see his face and realise I recognise him. Then I see it and the penny drops. The hat.
Matt Cardle.
The guy who won X-Factor last year and then dropped off the face of the earth to work on his album.
What 'celebs' have you brushed by/met?

Heh I just replied, only for it to be a "reply to comment" - which then disapeared. So now, in short: chelseaclintonbillbaileymitchellandwebbandcharliebrookerchriseubankandrewmarrkeithvaz and the blind MP who was S.o.S. for Education. Glanced at the Radiohead lead in Oxford a fair few times.
Matthew Smith. He really is nuts.
Ian Brown in Soho, Brett Anderson at a Radiohead gig (he left prior to them coming on though, lollers) that's about it I think.
Victor Ubogu in Bournemouth when I was 9 years old.
A cup of tea and an interview with Noam Chomsky in Istanbul.
I'd trade all my celebs, my Gears prowess, and an inch of cock size I can ill afford to lose for a session with Noam Chomsky.
Dion Dublin at Drayton Manor Theme Park in August this year. He wasn't carrying a Dube at the time.
I've been hit on by Sharon Osbourne and walked past Chris Martin.
Brian Murphy from Last of the Summer Wine walks his dog down my road....that's not a euphemism for anything. Err, saw Lauren Laverne at a Muse gig...and I met S Club 7 when I was about 10....my life sounds rubbish now.

Lauren Laverne. Oh dear.
Rory from doctor who was round my house the other day.
OMG
I also saw Zoe ball pilling her tits of at bestival about 8 years ago, she was pretending to be a horse whilst in a childs playground.
Rory from Doctor Who?
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Zoe Ball 'pilling' her tits off?
Am I alone in being baffled?

Probably
A few years ago I got very drunk with Cat from Red Dwarf and Christian O'Connel (DJ person). I didn't have a clue who O'Connel was but he was quite sound and just as drunk as the rest of us. We spent a good few hours drinking whisky and berating all the Sky1 Gladiators.
got drunk with Bruce Willis back in 1998 in Paris.
used to live next door to the lead singer of sherwaddywaddy.
Saw the bloke who shit the bed in Trainspotting yesterday in Berkeley Square, london.

@Mr bonjangles
Danny Jon Jules? Really? He's a legend.
@Jimmy
Bruce Willis? 1998?
I take it by the fact you're still alive that you didn't mention his thinning thatch.

Once pissed physically next to Hale and or Pace at some urinal in some boozer somewhere. I didn't go for the handshake...
Tony Cascarino once. He looked like he had come off some swanky shindig and was properly wasted. It was at half 6 in the morning.
I also bumped into the guitarist from Interpol. It was in New York during a heatwave and he was wearing a full suit. That's commitment
Quite a few famous Dutch singers/actors/models (does the name Doutze Kroes ring any bells? She's supposed to be quite well known) come in the store where I work. Even they need usb cables. Also a few football players, as the store's next to the Arena, not that I recognize any of them. Also an Arab Prince once, his name was so long it didn't fit on his passport.
And Shrek. But I'm glad that was on a day off.
Quite a lot of music folk. Got completely trashed on sake with Frank Black. Had lunch with the Pet Shop Boys. Also met Kurt Cobain and Elliot Smith. Both ended up dead. Coincidental I'm sure. Physically bumped into Brian from Placebo as I stepped out of Music and Video Exchange on Notting Hill Road - nearly flattened the wee cunt. Was nearly flattened by Sade as she drove out of a side street. Shook hands with Noel Gallagher on Savile Row. Nice chap. He was just walking on his own which seemed really odd for some reason.
I quite often see Neil Oliver (scottish historian guy) in my town. I think he lives nearby. We are are on "awright mate?...no bad..." terms.
That's him. We just kept calling him Cat. We were at the VIP party after a UFC at the O2 then we went to some poncy nightclub for Chick Liddels' party. Met loads of the fighters and trainers too.
In fact, (!) come to think of it, we were VERY drunk, we left the party and ended up looking for a taxi with Bruce Buffer and Mike Goldberg. The latter who called me Mr Angry for ripping into a bunch of neds trying the steal our cab.
I shared a flight out to New York with Steve-O and Chris from Jackass. Had a chat with them at baggage claim and they tried to start a game of football in the terminal.
Funny fuckers
I also had a swim with Julia Stiles and trained a couple of people from morning tv a little while back. No clue who they were as I don't ever get to watch morning tv, one told me he was a newsreader and the other a presenter on some shit ITV kids programme.
I made the latter sick by pushing him too hard in the gym ;)
Mr Chomsky is speaking in London this weekend at Rebelious Media Conference so your wish could come true. You can keep your inch of cock thanks.

I sat opposite Paul Zenon on the train. How's that for stardom.
I saw a bloke off the telly once. He was carrying a newspaper that looked like it had a dead fish in it.
I saw an AFL footballer last week at the gym, he was very tall.
