Darn, you're too conscientious! Maybe I can twist your arm to whisper in my ear next time I see you with 700 balloons

Rupert Penry Jones - rather embarrassing - i was pointing him out to a coleague as I swooned when he went passed my office and he looked in just as I was doing this. eek!

if you went to jamie oliver's feastival over the weekend it was celeb-tastic (if that's your thing). as an aside I didn't think the food from the voucher stalls was all that. japanese omelette the best , rabbit stew the worst

Johnny Wilkinson lives in Wandsworth Common

[MrsAmanda]

Really? I thought Jonny Wilkinson lived in France these days!

Now I know that, I'm not going to be able to leave the house without full slap in case I bump into him

I saw James Blunt last week on Northcote rd. Don't know if he lives locally though?
Have seen Mark Owen a few times recently.
I miss seeing Rupery Penry Jones, he always made my heart skip a beat!

Simon Le Bon lives in Putney as does Nick Clegg. Grace Jones lives at Riverside Quarter as does Frank Gardener and the guy who owns GU puddings (don't think he counts)! Sandi Toksvig lives on a boat at Riverside Quarter and used to be my tennant. Tony Christie lives on Elmbourne Road, Tooting. I saw Jo Brand in Balham Waitrose but not sure if she lives round here.

I used to live right by Battersea Park directly opposite Ross Kemp. Oh the stories I could tell... (but won't)

I saw one of the Geldof girls around a fair bit that way too, not the oldest one, perhaps her name is Pixie?

And my other half saw Maggie Thatcher in Battersea Park!

Will Self walking his dog on Clapham Common West Side!

The Pope having an ice cream in the bandstand cafe, Robert de Niro waiting for a bus on Balham Hill, John Torode in Lucas Bond, Elvis Presley in McDonald's on Balham High Rd. Cheryl Cole chugging on Webbs Rd and Barry Manilow in Tesco Express! OMG, Unbelievable!!! apart from JT in LB.

Jason Statham while he was with Kelly Brooke. Don't know about now; but he lived near Chestnut Grove - that sort of way

[metoo]

I think given the current climate and media frenzy re. hacking etc ckwmum owes it to the public to divulge what went on at Ross Kemp's flat esp regarding Ms R Wade as she was then!!

[ckwmum]

Ha ha - oh, if only you knew just how unobservant I am! I didn't even notice Ross Kemp lived there for the first 2 years until a local estate agent made a comment about my celebrity neighbour. And I had no idea - and absolutely no interest - in who he was married to, so when there was all this sudden media frenzy about Rebekah, I suddenly thought "blimey, she looks familiar." It took ages for me to put two and two together and work out that she was my former neighbour!

And they say people in London don't know their neighbours...

Sorry, all my anecdotes are strictly Ross-based. And I could never post them here!
