The cast of Shameless, Max from Hollyoaks and Steve McDonald from Coronation Street all in Deansgate in Manchester. All the soap stars go there.

Noel Edmunds landed his Blobbycopter on our school playing fields back when I was 9.

But the most bizarre entry I have is the following: When I was in Iran back when I was 11 I stayed in the house of their equivalent of Richard and Judy. They and my parents went out of somewhere whilst we entertained ourselves inside playing Megadrive. There was a power cut so the lights and Sega went off and we were bored. I don't quite remember what happened next but it ended with everyone coming back as the power came on to see the inside of the house covered in eggs from an egg fight we had with the famous couple's kids. We got such a bollocking.

Jonathon Ross once bought a mucky book from my mate's mate's comic book shop in New York. Allegedly.

OH! and I know a bloke that writes (wrote?) scripts for Bob The Builder, but he's not really famous.

I was also part of a dev team that was nominated as a game journalist's "favourite developer of the year" because she thought we were "great guys". Best review I ever had.

Pretty gosh darn cool eh?

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

I've met Tim Burtion, he was a very nice man, but I was most starstruck when I posed for a photo with Dave Gorman.

John Parrott - I sat behind him on the Shockwave at Drayton Manor Park. He screamed like a girl, for the record.

That guy that played Dr Bashir from DS9. He was doing Merlin.

I went to school with Jools Holland's niece. She was a right slag.

Was waiting for my platform to be announced at Euston yesterday when Eddie Izzard pulls up next to me. Turns out he was on the same train as he kept walking up and down the aisle. He had on the nicest coat I think I'd ever seen. Also, he was sat in economy, which impressed me. Turns out he was doing a gig at the Labour conference.

Nope, I used to live in Catford back in 2001, but I'm out of the smoke now, and living it up in Essex.

They still got that fibreglass cat on top of the shopping centre? Man that thing was classy.

I used to work in a Morrisons supermarket in Preston town center. It's next to the guild hall where Snooker Championships are held. I saw many many snooker loopy snooker stars, but I once had the honour of directing Bill Werbeniuk to our off-licence section.

RIP in peace Bill.

Oh... I met Herman Li once too. He was tiny! I guess the guys from Malefice and Exit Ten don't count, right?
