Shared a lift with Alex Salmond this morning... that was unexpected...

What are your unexpected lift shares?

Never an unexpected lift share. Had lunch next to American actress Wendie Malick at a restaurant in Buffalo, NY. Dave Matthews, of the Dave Matthews Band, held the door for me at the Barnes & Nobles in Charlottesville, VA.

Not unexpected, but amazing - Had an intimate dinner for four with the Irish actor Aidan Gillen in Baltimore, MD. Winning the opportunity to have dinner with him in a charity auction was very unexpected, especially for my poor husband who had not authorized my tipsy bidding. Luckily, this was about ten years ago, well before Game of Thrones became a phenomenon for HBO. Was also for a really good cause.
 
I didn't share a lift with Peter Kay.

(Was waiting for lift with friend, went to get something, came back friend gone, when I found friend on ground floor "I just shared lift with Peter Kay" was all he could say... Cue very expensive car drive past with someone who looks like Peter Kay... Mother fucker )(yes I know but it's an appropriate MF!)

Tipsy spending completely acceptable if for a good cause. I always double up donations because my other donates nothing... I then tell him how much he’s donated :D. He doesn’t even grumble anymore...

Very jealous of Aidan Gillen, that’s amazing... his accent makes me laugh in GoT though... it tends to travel...

In sex degrees of very tenuous seperation, I do know someone that knows Emilia Clarke’s mum well - it’s his favourite titbit at parties, that he knows the mother of the mother of dragons...;)

Haha! I love it - I think ‘I nearly shared a lift with Peter Kay’ is possibly a better fact than actually sharing one... I like the idea of really shit claims to fame...

I knew the mother of the mother of dragons AND Lloyd George knew my grandfather
 
Almost knocked over by Enoch Powell as he got off the tube many years ago.

Chatting to the guy from Faithless and only when gone was told by friend who it was.

Daughter worked where she met loads of 'stars' and can outdo most people if they ever name drop.
 
Never lift shared with anyone famous but have seen Michaela Strachan in her underwear whilst working at a hotel.
 
How are you doing, AP?

Struggling to sleep, occasionally daunted by how out of my depth I am (well you asked...;))

But still booze free, plant based and swimming so overall probably #winning

How’s about you?
 
So did I! Saw her at Richmond Theatre in panto in the early 90's...

Oh no you didn’t ... *waits for it*

In other news, serious question: Christopher Biggins and Theresa May, have you seen them in the same room at the same time?

Barry Manalo (?) And Barbara Stresland (cannot be fucked to google spelling their names) never in same room. Same reason
 
I had a fun evening planned but I am shattered and want to crash at the hotel. Someone give my lazy self a kick up the bum...

Go out and have some fun, so that those of us trapped inside due to the Arctic cold can live vicariously through you. It is currently -19 F.
