I can see real stars where I live, right here right now! ...
Can't do that in Londinium eh?!
As for the 'famous', they can't feed their egos in the fresh air
- good riddance too!

Last August Bank holiday, I was in the Walsall Asda, behind me in the que was a bloke who was the spitting image of Rob Halford,
I was'nt sure if it was, I noticed he had a tattoo on the back of his neck that said 'Eternal',
so when I got back home I looked on the 'net and there it was, a pic of Rob with the same tatt on the back of his neck.
I now go shopping with a camera, just in case.

I'm a Postie in Liverpool and was out delivering yesterday and had an item that needed signing for. I thought the woman looked very familiar and I had an inclination as to who she 'may' be but I had to use IMDB to confirm it when I got home - Turns out it t'was Tina Malone from Shameless i.e Minni Maguire ( the scouse wife of that stereotypical O'Irish hard man style gangster wannabe)
Oh and I once had the misfortune many many years ago of meeting Stan Boardman on my round, but that's not something I wish to brag about.
Now if Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kate Beckinsale,Megan Fox, Neve Campbell and The Jolie-Pitts could just move to Wavertree in Liverpool that would make my job that little bit sweeter from now on.

Many moons ago on route to a Rosetta Stone gig in that there Londinium Town whilst parked at traffic lights we saw Henry (Going for Gold*) Kelly in the car behind.
So we all smiled and waved and wouldn't you know it the genial Irish prankster waved right back - the coming together of two of the nations most popular entertainment franchises and hardly anyone there to witness it . Shame
* Going for Gold - a day time institution and one of the most ridiculous shows ever. a show created by an Australian using Europeans who could barely understand or speak English and an Irish host that NO ONE ( not even the Irish) could understand ! No idea what the star prize was but it was probably made of cut glass or wood.

No, but I have delivered there in the past. Our sorting office does do Childwall Road ! I deliver at the Wavertree clock end rather than the Five ways end .

Normally about a dozen times a day, which is how often I get the urge to check my reflection.

I once saw the actor who played the male ballroom dancer in Hi de hi once. But that was in 1987.
On a personal note I was once the author of the star letter in VIZ.

I know Thingwall Road in the Garden suburb. Yeah, the Picton Clock on the corner of Wavertree High Street and Childwall road ( by the Somerfield).

Justin Sullivan last night
Also Rev Hammer, Simon Friend and Maddie Prior. Rock 'n' Roll!
Also went partying with a couple of midlandsy punks of ill-repute on Saturday. That was just silly though

I haven't actually seen anybody, but I did summerise the medical notes for one Andrew Taylor a few weeks back!

Sadly not. She'd probably left the old soak well before then.

I used to run into George Soros in the lift at my old office - on one soon-to-be-forgotten occassion a friend and I turned around as we got out at our floor and shouted "LOADSAMONEY!" in a suitable mockney voice. I don't think George understood, but we legged it down the hallway laughing like a couple of schoolkids.
