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.

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


:eek: - I agree he's groovy - but charming? Please tell me that he was - I love Janes Addiction but always thought Perry Farrell was a bit of a pri....prima donna :lol:

An ex of mine *spit* :x processed Paul McCartney's pension when he was doing work experience at the Abbey National. Does that count?
He said it was A LOT OF MONEY...

And the girl who sat next to me in English class in 4th year was Richard Branson's god-daughter, or something. Tried to make friends with her, haha! :twisted:

Oh, and Gorgeous George Galloway showed my class round the Houses of Parliament when I was 13. :roll: What an arse.

Got to stand at the dispatch (despatch?) box, and go blah blah blah, though!

Actually, now I think about it the school I went to (*ahem*) had an awful lot of fairly well-known folks associated with it. :innocent: Nearly got run over by Lubo Morav... whatever his name is I'm not even going to try and spell it... one time. Celtic player. Weegies will know.

Remembered another one. Went for sushi for my 20th birthday, got sat next to Fernando Ricksen. Oh and I saw Chick Young in the Peking Inn when I was about 14. When I saw the former, I hummed the appropriate Abba tune enough for him to shoot me an evil look. When I saw the latter, I did "the laugh".

Bet he never gets that! :roll: :lol:

I reckon it's a case of mistaken identity. Not so much prima donna, more totally, always out of his skull (I daren't think what on). Bit like the :von: arrogant b@stard / shy bloke scenario.

But yep, the good news is he was as sweet as pie. Nattered for ages, signed the large bootleg poster (RDLH cover - which my ex still hoards :evil: ), and was generally fine and groovy, considering we'd spotted him and shouted after him at about 4AM on a damp Mancunian morning. Or was that the ex? :lol:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Excellent - my faith in my fellow man (well, some of them) is duly restored. ;D

(Sorry about your poster though :( )

S'not bad!
My mother sold a pair of boots to Janet Street-Porter. Said she was annoying :|
She also had a run-in with Midge Ure at some point in 1985 and made him hold me (aged about 6 months) for a picture :eek: I asked her why she did this and she just said "I thought he was the pope" :|

You and Pope's. What's the deal?

I don't live in a famous place. I did have the privilige of ignoring Princess Anne once, when I was about twelve. That's about it.

fuckin' 'ell! How could I forget...

...my mum got asked out by the drummer from the Kinks! She wasn't a "rock chick" or owt like that - just right (wrong?) place at the right (wrong?) time.

She said no.

You could've been me dad! ;D :eek: :lol:

I much prefer the Doktor, though... :wink:

Nice parental date-choosing, Boudicca..

And if we're allowed to pursue that route, my mum used to go out (about 30 or so years ago)with Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate. ;)

Nah, her name's Sharon. :lol:

If Emma was written about her, you think I'd like the Sisters' version of it. You'd also think I'd like the original.
