I was looking for one because me and kyle saw K3anu R33v3s at The Black Rider in SF last night. He had a nice chocolate brown suit on and had a great dirty beard that covered most of his face. He was pretty tall and was accompanied by a lady with crazy hair. I thought he looked good but both of the wives said he looked like ass, so I assume that they were probably more right than I.
Long may the sightings (and observations) continue. Maybe keep them googleproof tho'.

Diane Morgan aka Philomena Cunk and the single mum in Motherland, in the Bloomsbury street around the corner from mine with all the nice restaurants and clothes shops. I’d spotted a scruffy toy poodle that looked just like my mum’s, and was in the middle of chatting to its owner when I realised who the owner was (no, I did not own up to that recognition, we just chatted about the dog for a bit and went our separate ways).

Rod Stewart. I was passing through St Pancras Station on my lunch break and noticed a grand piano and drumkit had been set up. Coming back there was Rod and Jools Holland deep in discussion. His hair is still very impressive.

Rod Stewart seems like a really decent bloke from what I can gather – filling in potholes, calling Sky News offering to pay for people's scans, joining in with some bloke who was busking on Piccadilly Circus. (Not all at the same time.)

Rod does seem a decent bloke but also he's a Tory, so, y'know. His performative good deeds are good things to do, but it'd be nice to think he also does things when there's not a press following watching him do it. Saying that, he does turn up in local pubs round here sometimes before Celtic games* and get his round in (never when I'm there, though my other half has seen him, so I can't add him to the celebrity spotting thread in my own right, closest I get to watching football in the pub with a celeb is Paolo Nutini)
* Probably because we're right next to the airport - Tom D will be aware of his old haunts of the Wee Barrel and the Watermill Hotel

Getting a round in? That doesn't sound like Rod, he's notoriously the most tight fisted man in rock music... apart from Ray Davies of course.
