Are you sure she wasn't just very far away?

Yes - I once had to flatten myself against a wall so that her hair could get through...

My bro-in-law, Man City season ticket holder, lives not very far from a Neville, the one that moved to Everton. They were in a restaurant on one occasion and Mrs. Wow's sister Helen spent quite a long time talking loudly about the fact that the Neville no longer had red Christmas lights all along the drive leading up to his ponderosa-style mansion, but blue ones, and bad-mouthing him generally. Husband Howard, a renowned joker, continually tole her "Keep you voice down, Helen, his brother's over there". Helen did not believe him and continued the loud and slightly alcohol-fuelled derogatory comments until some while later she came to realise that the other Neville was indeed sitting at a table not very far away.

i saw Jamie Rednapp in London walking down the street.
I looked at him and thought "he's hot"
Then my next thought was "O i know him" and i nearly actually said hi, thinking i must know him from work or something.
Then just a split second before I embarrassed myself and realised who it was.

I do that when I see a famous person (Edit - I didn't think Trevor Brooking was hot, I was referring to your next bit)

Saw Sir Trevor Brooking at Southampton airport and came within a whisker of chatting to him as I thought he was someone I knew.

Also have seen Keith Richards - Chichester North Street
Rodney from Only fools and horses
The Duke of Edinborough.
The piano player in Keane (I know his Mum)

I missed a chance about 6 or 7 years ago.

Keith Richards has his mansion close to my mansion and he spent New Years Eve that year in the local pub in Itchenor near Chichester.

It was an open evening - no need to prebook or anything.

He took some mates - Mick Jagger, Johny Depp, Kate Moss and some I can't remember. It was in the local paper and everything so it must be true.

Rodney from Only fools and horses

I'd love to see him as I have seen two other of the cast.

Apparently I missed George Best at Waterloo by a couple of minutes at Waterloo just before he died.
