Spotted

Do you remember in the good ol’ days when people read Heat magazine? (Yes chaps, even you did in 2002!) and do you remember the Spotted section: “Dean Gaffney in Nandos, he was lovely”? Well I learnt today, that South West Trains has its own underbelly of celeb activity. Myself, I’ve never seen a single celeb on my journey (booooo) but having had all of the below brought to my attention, I shall keep a beadier eye out from now on.

Big thanks to @mc_larney for coming up with this most glorious of topics to discuss on a (mainly) delay-free commute

Bear Grylls – taking time out of his busy rodent eating life to join the happy throng

Lord Lucan – of course, he gets everywhere

Rob Brydon – doing a great impression of a delayed train, no doubt

Mark Kermode – I don’t know who Mark Kermode is … Just googling… Ah yes, I do.

Graeme Souness

James Bolam – everyone’s favourite miniature grandpa!

Penelope Keith – In First Class one assumes?

Will from the Inbetweeners – Is he the one with glasses… Just googling… Ah, yes he is. I wonder if he leaves his briefcase on the seat next to him?

David Gower

Amanda Holden

Ricardo Fuller

Alistair Stewart – who I am reliably informed is off Police, Camera, Action

Robert Powell

Brian Blessed – surely the best celeb spot of them all?!

Burn Gorman –  WHO?  - ‘im off Torchwood and Layercake, apparently

Danny Dyer – presumably filming World’s Most Dangerous Commutes?

Charlie Dimmock – Is it too long ago to make a bra gag?

Martin Davies – ITV weatherman

David ‘Calamity’ James – No? Too long ago to make the calamity reference?

David Frost – Giving the Nixon treatment to some poor South West Trains employee as his train was delayed

Lord Sebastian of the Olympics Coe – smaller than you’d expect apparently

Mick Hucknall – Although @CllrDaveHowarth maybe mistaken. You sure it wasn’t ‘er off the news programmes?!

Martin Clunes

Zoey Lucker – no idea

Nicola Roberts – she don’t need no good advice, she’s already wasted (that will mean nothing unless you loved Girls Aloud as much as me)

Ali Bastian

Claire Sweeney – I still miss Brookside

Clive James – hopefully offering some pithy commentary on South West Trains delays

Hugh Dennis – apparently offering evils, although he may have just been squinting

Maaaaatt Daaaaamon - although strictly he was just in Waterloo. Whilst we're on him, is it too passe to do the Team America quote? I'm never sure.

And congratulations to the TOP SPOT (as chosen by the inventor of this highly entertaining game @Mc_larney)... Drum roll please...

Winner is snotty Lord Seb Coe followed by 'ol Leslie Grantham & #swtzlistcelebstalker = @PaulHT46 - amazing list of spots!
