Famous faces

Let's not forget horny posh bird (Marks & Spencer)

[bawdy-nan]

spend all your life dedicated to pretending to be someone else and its almost inevitable that you become a hollow empty vessel

>>I never actually saw Jekyll and Hyde:D

[Jah Lush]

To be fair to Mr Nesbitt and whatever your opinions of him as an actor, have any of you actually met the man?

[Domitianus]

I have seen him walk past with a "Everybody look at me because I'm famous" type of expression on his smug gob.

[*Bob*]

Somehow, Dom, I get the impression you had already formed your opinion of Jimmy well before this 'brief encounter'.

[Domitianus]

About his acting skills...yes! That was based exclusively upon what I had seen on the box. I must say that the degree of my aversion was prolly also influenced by the completely unjustified extent to which he was hyped up a few years back. Equally, I should say, there are others who share my opinion of the demeanour he appears to exude when walking around the streets of ED.

[Jah Lush]

I know Dom, I've seen the posts on the other "Famous" thread on this Forum. I'll will say though that when I've seen him he does tend to exude that air of don't you know who I am snugness.

[Domitianus]

Thanks Jan. Of course all this doesn't mean he ain't a nice guy at heart but consensus opinion seems to be that he doesn't convey that impression.....and his acting sure stinks!

[mockney piers]

He used to frequent local pubs more err frequently than he does now. I and a few people I know have met him and he's actually a pretty nice bloke, who was happy to help out on a quiz machine or talk about footy.

Having said that I've seen him out with a group of 'pals' more recently and that 'air' was discernible. But then fame and success will always attract arse-kissing types, I guess the trick is never to believe the hype.

Not that that will ever really be an issue for me!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

ah yes, the old "I'll-say-it-will-never-happen-to-me" which means now it just might trick - to be fair Mockney you have had your work published which is more than most of us. In fact I'm sure I have seen you in the Bishop, downing double-rums like a proper star....

As for Jimmy - poor lad. I haven't seen so much of him since he moved but he was always happy to chat in the pubs watching football.

oi leave me out of this.

Now I love a good rant, but on the subject of Jimbo Nesbitt, I am quite surprised that such a seemingly innocuous character could provoke such strength of feeling.

I DID see him recently at Jacks, and have to say I did not discern this smugness of which you speak.

[TillieTrotter]

Our children used to go to the same school and I always got a cheery "Good Morning" when we passed. He seems to be a friendly enough fella:)

[Nonie]

I saw him in the East Dulwich Leisure centre one. He gave me a very saucy look. Made my day :))

[monica]

Lol mockney my hubby is a belfast man who has a worn look but the accent makes him oh so sexy along with the tatts of the celtic cross and the celtic football club logo.Iv met james nesbitt and i agree with domitianus he is a fully fledged t**t,cant stand his arrogance

[Domitianus]

Monica. I heard your hubby looked as fresh as a daisy until he married you. >:D

[monica]

Dom excuse me but do i know you?If so then you could make that assumption,but i dont know who you are and i am slightly surprised you could remark on someone you have never met.tw.t

[SeanMacGabhann]

Linda Barker in SMB foods this afternoon - don't like her TV persona much but she seemed very pleasant

[wee quinnie]

Did she hastily try and rearrange the pasta shelves into pictures and regroup the spuds in an alcove ?

(like she normally does with pebbles in empty fireplaces).

Oh well as long as she wasn't waving the scissors in the air as in her late unlamented Currys/Dixons ads.

[monica]

Linda is very nice we spoke earlier,she also has a lovely family

[ratty]

We saw Linda too, going in and coming out of SMB. We were sitting outside petit choux at the time, counting bug a boos

[Ultraconsultancy]

This thread seems to have descended into a rally about whether James Nesbitt is alright...

Coincidentally I was up at the TDF roll-out this morning [fantastic BTW] and ran into David Bathurst, who played the posh bloke in Cold Feet. He used to come into my bookshop occasionally, and was always just so nice in a way Hugh Grant only wishes he could be.

Also coincidentally the last series of Cold Feet was script doctored by a friend of mine. Small world eh?

Ultraconsultancy Cyclingfan.

[hoolley]

I have seen Tracey Barlow (Kate Ford) off Coronation Street, the gay guy who plays Pauls boyfriend in Emmerdale and Joanna Lumley (although I believe she lives in Stockwell).

[Domitianus]

Did anyone see Sean Penn in The Drum the other day?
