To my shame (and apologies to the wonderful Richard Ayoade), I lost all control when I saw him with a baby in a bjorn about to rush into Sainsburys. I shouted out, as though I knew him, "I didn't know you had a baby, congratulations". Felt a complete numpty. Sorry, Mr Ayoade.

I too have accosted Richard, about a month ago in Tesco Metro on East Dulwich Road - and even took a photo of him holding his pint of milk, to send to my boyfriend (who's a fan).


I'm sorry too Richard - but good to know you shop in a range of supermarkets....

What a creepy thing to do.

Why do I suspect now you are actually a friend of Richard Ayoade and he just wanted some free advertising on the EDF...?

Is it not the first rule of living in that London that it is ok to be mildly amused that you have spotted someone famous of any degree and by all means brag to your mates and local forum but never ever let on to said famous person that you have spotted them?


I made a huge mistake about a year ago by telling Miles Judd (stand up comedian / Archie from Balamory) who gallantly held my folded up buggie for me on a jam packed bus heading from ED towards Kings that I had seen him on tv the night before in an episode of The Thick of It - he descended into a shy embarrassed silence and we were both mortified. I am sure he would be pleased to know that I now completely blank him whenever I see him out and about.

What I hate is when I see a "celeb" who I admire and I really do want to speak to them but I forget what their name is in real life!! Apart from the usual Richard Ayoade spottings or David Haye driving his wife's car, I think my favourite so far was when I saw Ray Stevenson who played the Ukranian Mafia boss Isaak Sirco on Dexter grabbing a quick coffee in Cafe Nero.


Would love to have chatted to him but it doesn't feel right saying - hey you're one of my fave baddies from Dexter. :(

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
