Just an idle question out of interest. Does anyone have any celebs or TV people living in their town that they see regularly? Have you met them? What are they like?
As some of you already know my lady companion is a presenter on the Beeb and we live next to a village where she is completely unrecognised by the entire populace, which is nice. But, if we go into Penzance or even Newquay we get a few gawpers and occaisionally old women of the type who want a picture of madam patting their dog etc. Most people are nice and say lovely things, heckling kids can be awful however.
I don't know any celebs near me at the present time but I lived for a short while in Hadleigh Essex and regularly saw Phil Cornwell jogging, Phil Jupitas (not ever jogging, lol) and Alison Moyet once (at a time when she could probably be seen from space tho) I think she lived in nearby Basildon.
Who lives near you?
I live by a big lake and regularly bump into Kermit the frog.....He's a complete cunt !
Live near Bath so regularly see Bath and England rugby players.
Red Heads - Slowly taking over the world!!!
We live in Poole and up till a couple of years ago we rented a flat in Sandbanks, apparently many many celebs live there but the only one I saw was Harry rednapp and he waved and smiled when I let him out of a junction!! Locals said he is a lovely man :rolleyes
I live near Gravesend and I've yet to see Gemma Arterton. Or Pocahontas. Actually when I lived in Stockwell a few years back I used to see Joanna Lumley a lot - she used to shop in the Sainsburys nearby (no kidding).
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

Joanna Lumley has a house 4 miles from me. I landscaped her garden for her, lovely person. Her husband is a composer, he's nice too. Yes, she goes to the local spar with trainers, jeans etc and no makeup.
Andrew Coltart , pro golfer and tv / radio commentator

Tracey Coleman used to live not far from me, sometimes, if you sat very still and had a good pair of binoculars you could see her in her bedroom!!!!!
There have been a few come and go in my area, all of whom I've met once or twice, or grew up with.
Desmond Dekker
Maxi Priest
Duncan Goodhew
Dave Bowie
Marc Bowlan
Maranda Richardson (used to live across the road from me in Forest Hill)
Ian Wright used to live in the next block of flats from me when he played for Crystal Palace. Had a few kick abouts with him.
Dave Courtney (Celebrity Ganster) Went to the same school.
Kevin Lueshing. Ex Boxer. Now manager of Nigel Benn and Frank Bruno.
Nigel Benn
Bumped into Lloyd Honeyghan once in the old McDonalds in Forest Hill... He looked well mashed. He was just passing through the manor.
There have been other celebs in and around the Forest Hill Sydenham area but I'm blowed if I know their names.
Oh and as a footnote, I sold a lawn mower today to the man who cuts Jeremy Clarkson's grass :lol
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
I live close to ashby de la zouch and i've seen niall Mckenzie a few times in town. First time he was in wh smiths buying mcn!
Stevie Naismith (before he moved to Everton). Was at his wedding as well.
Gregor Fisher (Rab C Nesbbitt) used to live not far from us.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming - WOO HOO! What a Ride!"

Hey, I know were you were, my gran lived in Ebsworth Street, the next street along to your road.
A lot of people off jeremy kyle live near me, does that count?? they are all cunts as well.
No famous people I dont think, never seen any anyway, river city is filmed about half a mile from my house though, but none of the "stars" live here, because I live in a shithole :lol
Joey Blower lives across the road from me, he's a comedian apparently, and keeps himself to himself. Gives my neighbour with a H/D a bit of a hard time when he leaves it ticking over out on the street. : 
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

My mate was insistent that Ian Wright sorted him out with the best quality weed he'd ever seen.
I partook, and if he did indeed sort him out, it was fucking amazing shit.
I did once help load Colin Hendry into the boot of his wife's Range Rover out the back of a club in Stirling.
/edit
Allegedly
Bungle from rainbow lives just down the road. Hes a cunt too.

Top gear man Richard Hammond
Only fools n Horses Boysie, David Challis

You should have joined me hanging around Hall Road School at 3.30 every afternoon :lol
Unfortunately only Joe Pascale lives in my village (at least he used to but haven't seen him for a while) and that bird from Eastenders who snorted her nose off lived in the same road as Joe for a while!
Oh and a friend of mine is a radio DJ.
Tan Tastic Tommy Sheridan lives along the road from me. Sometimes he is a normal bloke, others he is like a mental patient who has managed to slip out the gates without the guards noticing. :lol
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
