Oh you 2 name droppers you!
I stood behind Babs Windsor in Boots once she was buying tubs and tubs of slimfast powder. She said you go first love I'm just piddling about (but in a cockney accent).
Saw Rik Mayal with a friend walked past us and we couldn't help but laugh fortunately he cracked up too.
Gary Lineker was walking in front of me once - he's really short!!
I opened a door for Jack Lemon when he was stuck in a house I used to work in.
Adam Faith offered to buy me a drink years ago in the American Bar while I was waiting for my husband.
A few footy players used to go in my local pub in N London but I never knew who any of them were so couldn't get as excited as my (very cool!!) husband - muppet!
When you saw Betty were you wearing your tiger slippers - she probably went back to the Rovers and told them all she saw a nutcase out in her pjs and slippers in the garage!!!! :o)

When we lived in the same town as you curlyperm (but we lived in the city centre) our neighbour was Lucy Jo Hudson (Katie Harris). Also in the city lives/lived Barbara Knox (Rita), John Savident (Fred), Lynne Perrie (Ivy), Kate Ford (Tracy), Johnny Briggs (Mike). And Tony Wilson, Ryan Giggs and more.
Used to live in West Didsbury and at the height of his alcoholism phase, used to play (and beat, but then again, it weren't too difficult..) Curly Watts at table football and pool in his local pub, The Barleycorn. Could have told you he was partial to the odd-pint years ago..!!! Then moving into the city centre, my star-spotting went into overdrive with all the usual suspects...Gary Neville, the ginger bloke off Corrie from a couple of years ago (Tommy..??), Les Battersby, the fat ginger one from Corrie (???), Claire Sweeney (30 seconds guys..!!).....oh the list is never-ending.. These days I live in Newcastle and drive past Scott Parker & Nobby Solano en route to training every day....WOW!!!!
Hey i used to live in west didsbury!!! i used to see curley drinking in the barleycorn with his (huge) then girlfriennd now wife claire.
At this time (king) dick and judy used to live on ............er............ one of those mock tudor houses on 'the avenue' i think it was called! AND they used to shop in that tesco (before he got caught nicking wine)
.............................allegedly lol

Yup, his missus was slightly large....great personality I bet though (as people say). In fact Steve McDonald used to drink in there too....seem to remember him trying to hide from Curly one night when he was lashed by sitting right out of view...it didn't work!! He found him!! My best one was a couple of years ago in the Woodstock one Saturday lunchtime when I saw Jimi Goodwin, lead singer of Doves - my favourite band - enjoying a lunchtime pint of Guinness and soup on his own...is that sufficient stalker-fodder for you..??!! Or would I need to say that his soup was broccoli and stilton??? (only joking)
well that'll do, to be honest most of the people on here must live in 'outer mongolia' cos i thought a lot more would have replied?? Athley always replies to me 'cos she's my mate : ) unless i am one of those people who everybody hates and refusing to reply to my posts is their way of beating me with a stick and telling me to F*** Off heheheh
oh well, im off to go cleb spotting, but i was working in a pub once round didsbury and curley came in (at the height of his 'fame?') with a load of mates, had no cash........... and then pulled the 'dont you no who i am' classic, to which i replied 'yeah, but its still �7.45?

I used to live in Wimbledon and during the tennis would see a lot of the players around and about. Trouble is I f***ing hate tennis so it just used to annoy me!
