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

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

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

Eddy, in antwerp
What on earth was he doing around here
About famous persons, well, as Antwerp is the centre of the world, you get to see some celebrities every day around here
(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

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!)
