Ok, so i'm in EB buying GTA2..again (scratched disc or summat) and Jonny Vegas walks in! He was looking for a N64 gamepad actually!

I'm guessing a lot of people wont know the guy but he's a comic from St Helens, England (where I'm from :D) He did a while in the states...dunno if anyone has heard of him but he's pretty famous. Did a few comedy series on the BBC. He's always at Knowsley Road for the St Helens rugby matches too. what a guy!

with them now that the toronto
film festival is on

No, you're not the only Brit here! I have the ultimate respect for Jonny Vegas after he went on Room 101 and admitted to the nation that he frequents a chat room called "Beauties Castle". Oh man!

As for celebrity sightings, I saw that bloke out of The Royle Family once, but he was (presumably) going about official celebrity business; sitting on a motorised sofa at the finish line to the Great North Run - for some reason.

Yeah, just make Tall Guy feel like crap by saying all the better celebrities you than him. Don't worry. I've never seen a celebrity. Actually, my trip to long island i saw the guy in the Amazing Scrubbing Bubbles commercial. Or something about scrubbing bubbles. I talked to the guy. He's pretty cool. Yeah, he's also a voice talent and he's auditioning for Mad TV. Whatever. Jonny Vegas Beats that. Even though I have no idea who he is. I'm drawing a total blank. But think out weird people stare at you when you're wearing a shirt that has an eyeball with a tophat on. There's a 4 out of 6.2 billion chance that I've met one of those celebrities. Their new CD comes out today in the US. Demons Dance Alone its called.

Yeah I can, actually. One evening early last year God spoke to me after I had four Screwdrivers and ate a large bag of salted peanuts that were past their expiry date.

Which goes to show, Mr Vegas has excellent taste.

And Huz, that was the bestest Room 101 effar. I must declare my love for Mr Vegas.

Well, I am a celeberity, really famous one, because I was on TV for a few seconds :P
When I was 11, I was on a show called '50/50', representing my school, Outwood Grange. I'm number 17, just in case you have all the tapes of the show and would like to bow down to me. I didn't get to do anything though.

So, I met Sally Gray, the presenter....she's sort of a celebrity...I also saw that one girl from Hear'Say...Kim, I think...when I went on holiday to Fuerta Ventura with my gigantic family. Mainly because we saw that she was staying at a hotel nearby us in the newspaper, so naturally we snook in and went swimming until she showed up on the deckchairs.

When I grow up, if I have the time, I'm gonna stalk some celeberitys.

Ah, that show's boring, well it is now anyway. But it's cool you were on TV. I'm just a depressed psychokinetic freak that only has a computer as a friend...

Blue Peter.... The BBC kept that and canceled Doctor Who. Where's the sense in that?

Blue Peter is a heaped pile of steaming proverbial, but I can't confess to being all that fond of the Dr Who series either. I did like Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy, though. McCoy, IMO, was the best Doctor of all. I still read the books sometimes, mostly the newer ones. I'm just not "into" it like I used to be, I guess.

I did meet a celebrity once

it was 2 years ago
at an aboriginal festival
held in Toronto,
and while there I met Tom King.
