Reading Chimes recount a tale about sharing a sofa with this ugly man.. made me think we need a thread where all the stalkers come out of the closet and admit their rather tenuous links with stars... Me first. I once sold a white wine to this woman: Amanda Burton |

When I was a callow youth I sent out invitations to various bands to attend my 17th birthday party with my phone number on them. I got phoned up by Rick "The Fuck" Witter who said they were too busy to come but if I gave them more notice they could make it next year. But I'd gone off them by then. I have also been to John Peel's house and Karen O's Brooklyn apartment. Yeah. |

So what Simon?  I had a 'staring out' competition with ex- footie player Terry Fenwick on a tube once for a full five mins - quite a turn on actually - he was sitting opposite me and we couldn't help ourselves...oh and i'm on first term names with Jesus Christ...beat that...
Talking of footie - up the Boro! We got our result.. |

I once handed in Vic Reeves bag to the bar staff in a small London pub thinking it was a bomb. The barman then asked Vic and Bob if it was theirs (they'd left it by the bar but were by now drinking by the window). It was and they looked at me like I was some sort of idiot for not realising it. And it was a Duffer of St George bag, the trendy fookers. |

I used to live round the corner from Brian Hibbert. I would often see him in his pyjamas going to the Spar for milk in the morning. |

This man frequently stayed in my room... at least 10 years previously to us actually moving into the gaff, may I add... |

Having gone straight from work to meet friends in a veggie restaurant in Primrose Hill, I nearly brained the woman sat on the table behind ours with the laptop I had over my shoulder. In good British stylee I muttered an apology and avoided all eye contact, resolutely looking forward throughout the meal. It was only when she hobbled off with her husband that I realised I'd nearly brained Heather Mills and sat 4 feet away form Paul McCartney for two hours without noticing (my friend was worse, being sat on the other side of the table he spent two hours facing Paul McCartney without noticing. My other half (who had worked it out) claims Macca was singing bits of songs throughout the meal, though I suspect this is a wind-up. Melvyn Bragg once got quite shirty with me when I refused to tell him what to say in a debate (all the time I was thinking 1. "You know it's specifically not allowed by my job to do this" and 2. "You're Melvyn Bragg for fuck's sake, surely you must be able to think of something to say yourself?") |

I once met the Pope up the Amazon. Only once mind. Note: In fear of 'Jerry Springer - The Opera'-style death threats from aggrieved Catholics, I have edited the above post so as not to cause offence. |

I fell in Sting's son's pond
I was drunk, I walked out onto the (unlit) patio and stepped straight into an ornamental sunken pond up to my thighs (I was wearing jeans) I apologise to those who have heard that story before, and to Johnny Anarchy for whom the mere mention of Sting can ruin his day. |

I have already mentioned my godfather on here before, star of star wars, roger rabbit, time bandits, dark crystal, maid marion etc. www.mikeedmonds.com Whilst at uni I lived opposite Rory McGrath and I drink in the same bar as Phil Jupitus, the comedian who played in goal for Southend the the Sky celebrity team who's name escapes me, and very rarely Lee Evans. I have chatted up 2 of Hollyoaks to no avail, 3rd time lucky but I will probably end up with the less stunning one. I bumped into Kate Moss and Marianne Faithful in Finsbury Park once Watched a match during euro 2004 out in portugal with Alan Davies and his beautiful lady friend. |
