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 second that, althought he can be quite charming towards women in his own oily way.

I saw the geezer who plays Cain Dingle a few years ago in what was then Threshers in Pudsey. He looked even rougher in real life.

Dave Johns in Sainsburys last Friday - only just found out his name!

(He's a geordie comedian who's been on Buzzcocks a couple of times - and I'm sure plenty else)

((thats how famous I think he is - I have to tell you all what he does!!))

Mani at OT a couple of times. :notworthy: 8)

The groovy Perry Farrell in Manc city centre hours after a gig in the early 90s. Charming bloke.

Giggs, Scholes, the Nevilles, Butt and that Beckham at a Bryan Adams gig in Huddersfield in the mid-90s. Nope, I've no idea what I was doing there either. :urff:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
