Hilarious low wattage 'celebrity' spots
Posted by PaddyH on 17 June 2011 - 9:51pm.
Hartley, (pictured above left) guitarist with surgical scrubs-wearing Liverpudlian post-punkers Clinic - struggling badly into a heavy headwind on a folding bike while balancing a carrier bag on the left handlebar. On a three lane main road with traffic swerving to get around him.
Any takers for low wattage celebrity spots with added absurdity?

Mark E Smith..
..buying a turnip in The Heatons.
Was he
trying to find something that resembles his head, I wonder?
Alexandra Bastedo, late 1970s
Buying various veggies at a greengrocer's in Whitley Bay.
(I didn't believe it either, until the local news had her on that evening talking about the play she was appearing in at the Whitley Bay Playhouse.)
Ted Roach..
..from the Bill coming out of a Chinese Takeaway in Beccles 2002. He was doing panto in Diss. Or Bungay.
Rick Parfitt
Queueing in front of me in Budgens in Teddington circa 2005. I recall that his basket contained a 2 litre bottle of semi-skimmed, and a Soreen Original fruity malt loaf
Good taste
Now Parfitt might have incredibly bad taste when it comes to hair and clothes and his own choice of Beach boys cover versions but you can't knock his choice of Bakery products.
Where to start
Matthew,(carmen's boyfriend from Eastenders) buying Fever Pitch on Western rd ,Hove.
Eric Duffy (Please Sir) aka Peter Cleall- buying Cheese and onion crisps,also in Brighton.
Ruth-from Catalan soap opera "El Cor D'la Cuitat" asked me the time in the street.
I could go on. ok one more
Harry " cockney " Fowler, in a pub off Kensington High street.
The late Charlotte Coleman
She was next to me in a busy greengrocers. She picked up a yam, thrust it in front of me and said cheerfully, "what the hell is this?".
I said, just as cheerfully, "It's a yam". Her face fell, she muttered a bit, looked a bit awkward and went out of the shop. I thought this was a bit strange.
A few moments later, trudging back up the hill, I pieced together what had happened. The bloke she came in with had left the shop and was standing outside. I am guessing that she hadn't noticed that he had exited the shop, saw me in her periff and thought I was him.
Joseph Marcell...
...better known as Geoffrey the butler from Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, on the District line at Earl's Court, seemingly getting a mobile-phone-based ticking off from a close friend or relation. He kept losing signal, but the tenacious bollocker always rang back. He appeared to be trying to adopt a pleading tone while whispering as tersely as possible.
Eventually he was let off the hook, and spent the rest of the journey staring fixedly at the emergency door at the end of the carriage.
Midge Ure
In a lift in the Glasgow Hilton last night.
Prince William - for it was he . .
. . in the queue for Burger King at Hilton Services on the M6.
About two years after his mother died.
Not true, you say? Well he was flanked by three security men and appeared to be with a friend who had a horse somewhere up his family tree.

God
Don Warrington on the tube in London.
I saw him about an hour later playing God at the National in 'The Mysteries'
