Met & chatted with Peter Mullen in early December ( in a bar in Gibson st), nice guy, said he was gutted that his character was deid and that he wasn't in Trainspotting 2.

Been a while since I read Porno but in the book I'm sure Johnny Swan had moved to Thailand rather than died. Either way he wasn't in it I suppose...

Walk with Kings, but never lose the common touch.

Mate was a comedy groupie of sorts and through that connection, at Edinburgh Fridge '97 lent Al Murray my Daily Record and had pint with Alistair McGowan. Also spent a fair bit of time in company of Stewart Lee and Richard Herring as mate was their gopher. My mate was sharing a flat with an up and coming comedian - having a 4 year old sister at time, I was well versed in the Tellytubbies and introduced this show to said flatmate - Frankie Boyle. Also met Noel Fielding and Robin Ince through the comedy whore.

Went to the King's panto in 2007 with work and our lot were sat very close to Robert Carlyle with family.

Saw Blyth Duff from Taggart in an EK supermarket in early 00s.

The episode that Jardine was killed in Taggart was shown not long before I saw the girl he was winching in that episode, on the 38 bus into Glasgow.

Saw Jim 'Red Blue and' White on West Nile St around the same time.

Saw Dougie Donnelly in December 2015 at a function.

Mate's uncle Jerry Kelly was in the 80s pop band Lotus Eaters, had a top 20 hit in UK, met him a few times.

Went to college with the bassist from Gomez and knew ITV newsreader Ranvir Singh when she was younger.

Saw tv showbiz reporter Ross King having his lunch in Cameron House a good while ago.

Went to an Ian St John summer training camp on the Wirral as a kid and a got a daily lift there and back from Liverpool from the man himself.

Used to see Dominic Matteo out nightclubbing in Southport in his early days at Liverpool.

Opened the door at Pollok FC to Tony Roper who'd dropped by for a game (can't recall what it was).

Saw Alan Rough a few times after the game when down with Pollok at Glenafton.

Crossed paths with uber Don Richard Gordon a few times.

Was at a football dinner years ago and had Lee Wilkie sitting/towering across from me.

When living in Manchester I saw Mrs Battersby (the wee fat dumpy one) and Sally Webster in the city centre. Think I also saw Les Battersby too though I can't place where.

Neil Lennon was a regular in my local pub. Nice guy but Alan Thompson was a bit of a dick. 

Met Jim Duffy at the Ferry before a gig last year. Nice guy.

Post here when you meet someone well known/famous/noteworthy...

or not.

I met Donny Munro today - in Pencaitland.

Beat that.

Saw Donny Munro in the Crow Road McDonalds a few years ago.  He was basically bullying and verbal abusing what I presumed to be his son for the whole time.  Seemed like a bit of a cunty nutter.

I was sitting next to Jeffrey Wright (James Bond, Shaft, Basquiat, Westworld, Hunger Games) at a wedding. He wanted to extend his stay in Scotland so I gave him a few pointers on a good hotel that would have leisure facilities and offer easy access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Fife Riviera. Turns out he took my advice and I met him in the spa the next day at a place I'd suggested and we had a good natter in the jacuzzi.

I verbally abused Chick Young from a moving car whilst he was promoting Tennetts lager at Victoria Wine in Inverness during the build up to World Cup 98. My Dad wasn't best pleased as he was driving.

We didn't share a jacuzzi the next day though.

Don't think people understand the point. Instead they are just randomly saying who they have met.

I've been on a coaching course with Gary Bollan, Eddie Wolecki, Gordon Durie and Gordon Wallace.
 

 

I'm guessing you were the Ian Cathro of the group?
