A few weeks later, I was in the Trafford Centre and saw her again.
A few weeks on, I was sitting in garage, waiting for my wife’s car to be serviced, when Sally came in and sat next to me.
I explained this was the third time I’d seen her in quick succession and asked her, “You’re not stalking me, are you?”
If looks could kill....
Others include:
Been to John Coghlan's house for an afternoon. He likes military vehicles and wanted to show me his vintage army truck.
I used to work with Kelly Jones brother before Stereophonics were famous and was a big fan after Kelly gave me a demo tape. Kev Jones (we were good mates) invited me to their first Jools Holland but then he got swept up and nobody ever saw him again after that. I think he's their tour manager now.
Worked with Bruce Dickinson. He made me a cup of tea one day at his place. Had regular worky chats with him and got all my Iron Maiden mates stuff signed for them. It was a regular thing but he never minded so long as he could come and see what I was doing that day. Nice fella. Very grounded.
Tom Cruise was at our place the other week and I genuinely couldn't be bothered to go and get a glimpse of him. He was super nice apparently. Everybody had selfies with him apart from me.
Best person I ever met was Captain Sensible though.
Around 2016 - saw Jimmy Page carrying a load of posh looking shopping bags in Knightsbridge, walking with his missus
Probably no-one here remembers/has heard of her, but if not for then spotting Trevor Bloody Nunn at the checkout waiting for her it could well have been the end of me and Mrs Snags as my inevitable charm would have swept Ms Stubbs off her feet.
Alas, it was not to be; although Mrs Snags has been a very acceptable substitute overall. (Dear heavens above I hope she never reads this, although she probably still remembers me trailing around that Tesco like a lovesick puppy chuntering "Imogen Stubbs" under my breath whilst trying not to look too much like a psycho).
I also saw (for my sins) Jimmy Saville a few times, again in Peterborough. He was working with Thomas Cook, who my wife worked for. At the the time we both thought he was a sickly creep.. how right we were!
I like to think that we shared a moment that inspires him in his work to this day.
Ive seen Christian slater in a noodle bar near Trafalgar Square. I played football with Darren Anderson and warren aspinall. I met Adam woodyatt. I've spoken to Fish on the phone and Stuart from jamiroquai for work.
In Brighton recently with the kids and walked past Brian May (v tall and bizarre hair) and Anita Dobson (v small and bizarre hair).
sat in the bizniz lounge at Gatwick chilling out, waiting for my flight..
I was at a table on my own when a really tall and a very pretty blonde asked if she could share the table..
she sat down.. didn't really say much.. a few mins later her other half showed up..
he said 'hi I'm George'.. we shook hands and got chatting
it was George Best.. he was a really nice fella.. really chatty and good fun
I seem to attract a few - last week Steve Van Zant got out of a taxi by my front door as I was leaving home, dressed in full rock star
Often see lots of people like Martin Freeman, Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin etc - but then I do live in Soho so lots of film stuff
Few years back sat next to Selina Miller on a flight to Florence, had 'words' with her whilst we were taxi-ing and she sat twisted for the whole flight so she could turn her back to me.
Lots more but two highlights -
Three years ago, flew to NY - stood next to Tom Morrello (Rage Against the Machine) at the baggage reclaim in JFK, got to the hotel dropped bags, took at walk in Central Park - to bump into (literally) Joe Satriani
And one to make you all jealous:
About 15 years ago, at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest - I spent 15 minutes in a Jacuzzi with Steve Davies (pot the ball and screw back) etc.
his mate is a singer / guitarist from Brum
he was on a train to London cos his band was playing a showcase for a major label
so.. this old fella is sat on the seat opposite, see's the guitar case and asks him about music and his band etc..
so my mate's mate apparently goes on and on for ages about his band, how they were on the up and up, the showcase etc..
really digging himself and his band up..
after a little over an hour, he asks the old fella if he plays guitar and the old fella say yes..
he asks if he plays in bands and stuff and he say yes.. Deep Purple and Rainbow.. lol..
