Hey Tom D., how about a new Boab sketch?

xp you'd think, wouldn't you? Rather than just dodging out of the rain with his freedom pass.

It would have to have been a free bus ride of course.

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.

lol rod’s tory+celtic allegiances makes him the perennial target of the celtic reddit

I ran into Joe Biden at a CVS in Wilmington, DE on Easter Sunday in 2017. Got to say hello and shake his hand. I think that has to be the high water mark for my celebrity sightings.

I was less than 50 ft away from Bob Weir at the San Francisco airport once.

Banal celebrity sighting: I got on a train with John Inverdale last week. He was carrying a golf bag and looked like he'd just got up.

That will only mean something to a particular subset of UK posters and even to them will mean less than a shrug.

Talking of banal "celebrity" sightings, I just this minute saw Ian Blackford on Holloway Road. He was hand in hand with his wife (I assume), which was kind of sweet.
