He was then waiting outside WH Smiths and I saw separately Christopher Biggins, who must have been who he waiting for. Seb Coe. Various England cricketers on numerous occasions. Austin Healey. Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys and Richard Ayoade from the IT Crowd (actually they did not make it as far as getting on the train as there were cancellations and I think they must have been to get a cab instead).
Naomi P Sep 2012 3:46pm, 7 Sep 2012 10,496 posts	Quote Pin Naomi P I haven't seen any famous people on the train but Jeremy Paxman was rather flirty and charming when I bumped into him in the City once. I was wearing short shorts that may have helped. On the subject of not quite being chatted up by celebrities, I reckon Boris Becker would have had a go if I had been blonde when I saw him in a nightclub once. He was having a go at anything female and blonde that night.

The Teaboy Sep 2012 3:53pm, 7 Sep 2012 952 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy England Rugby legend Martin Johnson. Jarvis Cocker. Two of the male cast of Coupling on the tube. Not at the same time, but bizarrely in successive weeks. Tony Blair getting off a train as I was getting on one on a neghbouring platform. Notice I put them in order of how highly I regard them all.
GlennR Sep 2012 4:03pm, 7 Sep 2012 5,296 posts	Quote Pin GlennR Rory McGrath and Bill Oddie (both more than once but never together) littering up the first class compartment on the Cambridge-London train. Peter Tatchell in standard class on the same route.
