I just saw a famous person

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I bumped into (literally) Nick Cave yesterday lunchtime at Victoria Station, London. He was carrying a Head sports bag....

Can't sneeze without bumping into Nick Cave here in Brighton & Hove.

And Tom Baker. And Chris Eubank. And a load of others.

I bumped into Rolf Harris about seven years ago.

I also bumped into Rick Wakeman.

I think they're classed as celebrities :innocent:

I've frequently bumped into Tom Barman (dEUS) and Mauro Pawlowski (Evil Superstars) here in Antwerp, but I guess they are only 'worldfamous' in Belgium. :roll:

I've seen Eddy Wally though, and he most definitely is worldfamous. :D

Sometime in the past doesn't count, this is an ongoing project. Or something.

Eddy, in antwerp :eek: :eek: :eek:

What on earth was he doing around here :roll:

About famous persons, well, as Antwerp is the centre of the world, you get to see some celebrities every day around here :lol: (don't remember when the last time I saw a real famous person was, though) This morning I have seen Marcel Vantilt, an old mtv-presenter, and famous overhere, but then, he isn't worth a lot :D

you would have to have banged into it to actually bump into someone famous tho, and I don't think that you have so little coordination

And I went to school with several "famous" people.

I've also worked with some, depending on how you define famous: would Margie Clarke count as famous? Or Donovan?

I met Trash Light Vision (with Acey Slade from the Murderdolls on vocals) and got their signatures and one of the drummer's sticks.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I prefer drum machines to drummers most of the time.

I mean, some of the greatest bands used a drum machine in their best songs...
The Sisters (Floorshow)
The March Violets (Walk Into The Sun)
Suicide (Rocket USA)
Black Wire (Attack! Attack! Attack!)
