Seen Anyone Famous In East Dulwich?

[TillieTrotter]

Adrian Lester, the black guy from Hustle, along with wife and kid just had lunch in the Drum. Also saw Marc Warren, the blonde spikey haired fella from the same show, about two weeks ago outside Somerfield.

Adrian Lester is more than "the guy from Hustle". He's a great actor - I saw him as Henry V at the NAtional some years back and the play was just fantastic. The opening scene where the bishops advise Henry V he has a right to do what he wants to do, invade France, was played as a Blairite cabinet meeting - everyone in suits with PAs dashing about with bottles of spring water. Brilliant that Shakespeare could be used to indict Blair's Iraq initiative.

He was up for the Bond gig too.

And Adrian Lester was in the film Primary Colours with John Travolta and Emma Thompson and when they all went on Oprah she thought he really was an American as his USA Accent was so good.

Brenda Blethyn's a local, isn't she. She goes in Beauty Place on Forest Hill Road. Apparently. (ooooooh ouch)

What a great actress.

Was it Linda Henry, Shirley in Eastenders, who was walking down Lordship Lane - the other day - hiding behind sun glasses?

[Jah Lush]

Yes, you're not mistaken, she is a local. I've seen her in the Dog in the Village on a few occasions.

Mr Flynn, he of 'The Bill', being driven in a car with his actress partner, on Sunday evening.

Shakespearean acting legend Mark Rylance outside the video shop last week! Swoon!

[fish]

Just caught the 'First Direct' advertisment on tv and I'm sure the guy in the white suit (who,also, played a foreign diplomat in 'The Bill' a few weeks back) used to go jogging in Peckham Park. He used to cross over to the Rye, where the big houses are. Does he still live around here?

I am told that she is now charging people to talk to her and that she is thinking of appointing an agent to handle her social diary. SHe has, however, offered to formally open the Wintergreen Fair for no fee :-)

[monica]

[Domitianus]

Fair enuf, I take it all back. Monica is actually charging a very substantial fee for opening the Wintergreen Fair but has agreed to only charge ?5 per autograph >:D

[shaman]

[Domitianus]

Hurrah for Monica! Hurrah for Monica! We are not worthy! We are not worthy!

Dulwichmum, who is seldom to be found on our forum but is often to be seen hanging around the local off-licences.

[Domitianus]

Is she the sorry looking dipso with the brown paper bag and the beard?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Her cover is blown I fear.

[SimonM]

No she's the one in the hard hat carrying a trowel...:))

[mockney piers]

Well I'm hoping we have a new celeb in our midst.

Barry Rhode, do you live in Barry Road or were you Jim The Fitness Instructor in the 1973 'classic' Sex Farm aka Frustrated Wives?

You little tinker. Must have been cold.

[dulwichmum]

Indeed, I am a retired brickie from Penge - and my love of the stock of Threshers is indeed well documented!

I am sorry I have been absent a lot of late Mr Popalopagus, but very soon indeed - I shall be back to my old tricks, and your underpants shall be in shreds!

[Jah Lush]

That's fighting talk Dulwichmum. Careful now Michael.
