This is a question Never Meet Your Heroes

They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

random c-list and z-list
I've never bothered actually looking for celebs, just bumped into them and been just plain indifferent. none of them were heros except the time i was walking through covent garden a few years (around 98-99 i think) back and bumped in to Tony Adams and David Seaman, but i just froze, so don't know if they live up to the status we've/i've given them.

But mostly, people around Newbury - Basingstoke know that the likely hood of bumping into a Meridian TV presenter or Wild Life presenter are quite high, Chris Pakham and Michela Strachan being the most common, though Phillipa Forrester has been seen around some caffs.

I used to work in an office below Bruno Brooks broadcast company, they do petrol forecort radio, buggers kept having issues with their station that kept jumping into our phones (bizarre)

He doesn't talk to anyone bar the local Suni store round the corner

I chatted up one of the Blakely twins from Neighbours when i was at college (thats going back a bit!) it was the one with the straight nose, who was performing at the Anvil, i say chatted up, more 'dribbled' (was a kid) give me a chance now! an i wouldn't, tho shes probably getting on now

That Felicity Barr that presents the sport on ITN used to live down the road, tho i think she was one of those products from the Natasha Kaplinsky/Andrea Catherwood school of plastic clones that don't associates themselves with local scum, just looking for thier own tv exec to shack up with.

Edit - Just read TBL's post, I met Alex P at a Gods Kitchen bash in Tenerife a few years back, i gatecrashed the VIP area, he was fcukn ace
