Back in my commuting days...
...I got on the train home (the 17:04 Silverlink from Euston to Birmingham, fact fans), got a seat, got a book out and fell asleep shortly afterwards.

So far so normal. Somewhat less usually though, when I woke up Otis Lee Crenshaw was sitting opposite me. Well, obviously it was Rich Hall, but he was dressed as OLC.

Silverlink trains being what they are, we slowly made our way towards the next stop, pausing occasionally for no apparent reason. After one particularly lengthy stop, Mr Hall caught my eye and asked "Are they always this slow?". I explained that they were indeed, and we chatted for a while. Turns out he was on his way to a gig in Birmingham and got the train as it was cheaper than driving. I suspect the British public transport system made its way into his act that night... I hope that I didn't though :)

tl;dr - I met Rich Hall. And if you liked that, wait until I tell you about the surprise I got when Dale Winton flirted with me!!*


*yes, really O_o

this was cripplingly dull.
can I add my hilarious anecdote about the time I walked past Richard Herring in Leicester Square?

Only if the "hilarious" bit is that you punched him repeatedly in his stupid fat face, until both you and he were crying.

What more do you expect from me?
At least it fits the question... I was surprised.

I once walked past Michael Gambon, outside a theatre near Covent Garden.
He appeared to be arguing with his assistant, so I didn't bother to say hello.

I also once bumped into Ann Widdecombe, at the bottom of a hill in Maidstone. She looked very cross.

See, Janet? These are dull anecdotes. Prof.K's is positively thrilling, by comparison.

Oh, I also passed Justin Lee Collins at Hitchin railway station, but the less said about him the better.

That's what you get for coming to Hitchin though.
