Too f*cking bad, I'm telling it to you anyway.
Get on the train and there is this very tall, exotic looking blonde with loads of hair and wearing sunglasses who is sitting not far from me. As I get off the train she is just behind me with a huge suitcase. Thought of being chivalrous and offering her a hand but couldn't be bothered.
Get off the train and there is a taxi driver with a hat on holding up a sign that says 'Ella Macpherson'
:-|
I have a good Elle Macpherson story as well.Quote:

She said "I'm Elle, nice to meet you" to which his response was to clam up, go bright red before yelling "UNDERPANTS!!!" at her, to which she turned around walked off, leaving my boss to his shame :hehe:
That's nothing, I met Les Dennis in Caffe Nero,Quote:

I stood next to Jimmy Carr in HMV Oxford Street when a group of us was trying to get tickets for his sold-out Peterborough gig and said not a word.Quote:

I have however said good morning to Elizabeth (absolutely not Liz) Hurley. She is a regular guest at Belvoir Castle (just up the road) and was out walking with her weird son.
A taxi driver, with a hat on :DQuote:

I flew business class with American Airlines last month. Shocking. Slightly better than economy with Emirates. Food was worse.Quote:
