I had the notion I was vaguely familiar with the Boom Boom's, but I don't recall ever having seen her before.

Oh, well. You live and learn, and all that.

Robbie Coltrane told me to "fuck off" outside the chippy in kelvinbridge once. Lovely man!!

Did you ask him for a chip? Bet you did.

Was in Red Lizard watching the fitba and who was standing at the bar? Alan Armstrong from New Tricks.

I met Gina once at river city a few years ago in Dumbarton where they shoot the drama, face was plasterd wi make up and a black eye added for good measure, Nice shiner i shouted... aye i fell up the stairs she replied.

Archie must have batterd her.

About 10 years ago or more I saw Robbie Coltraine driving in the next lane over the Kingston Bridge. I beeped the horn, he looked round then ignored me. I've never watched another episode of anything he's been in since, *****!

What did you expect the bloke to do, for goodness sake, invite you to the set of the latest Harry Potter film?

I encountered the bloke a couple of times in pubs years ago - he came across as a pretty decent bloke.

Ewan McGregor outside O'Neills Merchant City, last Friday.

I at least expected him to nod over if not shout out 'hows it gawn' . Is that too much to ask of a guy who makes his living from an unsuspecting public not knowing how much of a ***** he is? Or maybe he's just a shite driver who can't multi-task?

I met Robbie Coltrane about 17 years ago outside Buchanan Bus Station. I was with two of my college mates.
"Awright Robbie?" one of us shouted, half expecting him to tell us where to go.
He stopped and spoke for a few minutes about life, made his excuses and went on his way.

Top bloke!

Grrrrr, can't even get a wee moan in..... I still think he's a pratt.
