While in the elephant house, one of the elephants sprayed myself and several of my class mates with water. This was filmed by a BBC crew who were there, and it was shown on Blue Peter. (Although I didn't actually see it on the telly).

Beth was on Diet Coke, nothing alcoholic. I was sat roughly 4 feet away from her while they discussed some sport-related topic. </p> <p>I nudged my O/H in the ribs and indicated that we were in the presence of an Olympic bronze medallist at which point she started to push her front teeth forward to mimic some kind of rodent. As a result, I had to mutter "Fucking stop it " several times under my breath. </p> <p>The boyfriend struck me as an ignorant bastard, spending the entire time texting on his mobile, while his parents made smalltalk. She could do so much better. Silver, probably. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=25#post-161313 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:26:05 +0000 Titus 161313@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sinnick - I can beat that.

Jilly Goolden off of the telly kept walking past me. I just ignored her. Thinking about it, everyone was ignoring her. Not surprising as it was a trade event and she's not exactly well loved. Horrid little pixie. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=25#post-160301 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:37:14 +0000 Nowherefast 160301@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Most recent non event celebrity encounter: Waiting for my connection to Poole from Waterloo station just before Christmas I nipped outside for a smoke and stood about 3 feet away from some girl who who used to be in Eastenders. Well she was recognised as such by the bloke trying to chat her up and they started talking about it, so it might have been true. I don't watch Eastenders so I wouldn't know.</p> <p>Historical least impressive celebrity encounter: Working as a documentary cameraman in Saudi in the late 80's I was doing a walkback in front of a visiting prince who I almost managed to throttle with the cable connecting the camera to the field recorder. I laid the blame on my Jordanian VCR operator (the one carrying the field recorder) who was too bloody slow to keep up; thus causing the cable to stretch across the neck of, and almost garrote, said prince. The Saudi prince didn't really count as a celebrity as they're endemic in the region, but the Jordanian VCR operator had shared a boarding house in London with the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov at the same time as the latter achieved celebrity status by being assassinated by a member of the Bulgarian secret police (who injected Markov in the leg with a pellet of ricin secreted in the tip of an umbrella). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=25#post-160295 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:35:54 +0000 Golgo13 160295@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh, update on Graeme le Saux.</p> <p>Long time fans of this thread will remember my encouter with him in Heathrow Terminal 5.</p> <p><a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&amp;page=4&amp;replies=724#post-74765" rel="nofollow">http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&amp;page=4&amp;replies=724#post-74765</a></p> <p>Well, he was at Delta Force paintballing near Effingham in Surrey over the weekend.

That was inspiration behind Marley's song "No woman, no cry". </p> <p>Rebecca herself must have a very difficult life, always being 3 miles away from everyone, so it's no wonder that she took to spending so much time on the internet. Possibly she travels at the speed of light, so you can never quite catch up with her.It must make shopping at the supermarket very tricky. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=26982&page=25#post-159278 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:36:59 +0000 Scroat 159278@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Getting back to Thelma Barlow.
