I have only in the passed week realised that the bloke from 14:44 - Sep 24 with 3523 viewsghostofescobar

Master Chef’s name is actually John Torode. I have genuinely thought istwas Johnty Rode, for all these years. I’m in my mid 50’s, so maybe I should have realised before now? Anyone else got something they’ve realised they have been getting wrong for years (no jokes about marrying her indoors etc).

Feel your pain. I found out about three years ago when Mrs Chelters thought it was hilarious and corrected me.

I still call him Johnty.

Do you remember the song - follow, follow, follow, follow the boys of big Joe. It’ll be the sound of the crew when we’re playing Man U, follow, follow, follow.

Well I always thought it was - follow, follow, follow, follow the boys of big Joe. When the scum are at Crewe, we’ll be playing Man U, follow, follow, follow.

Always thought that that song was quite disparaging towards Crewe. But it wasn’t.

Few years back I was cycling (respectful pace as always) along the towpath at Chiswick, and I almost flattened a jogger who came flying around a blind corner; was about to verbally unleash with both barrels, but then noticed it was Nigel Havers and was too shocked to say anything (plus he immediately apologised, as you'd expect from such a class act). Do we need a new thread for occasions when members have almost injured celebrities?

Going back to the OP, it's all the fault of these people on the telly having funny names (like that gardener bloke, Mon Teedon)

I almost ran over Stephen Hawking on a dark evening in King Street, Cambridge. A while later I was working with one of his neighbours and when I admitted the near miss was told 'Oh well, we've all nearly run over Stephen Hawking, haven't we ?' Great mind but not safe to be put in charge of a wheelchair.

It's only now that I have observed your statement of that event here, that said event can be deemed to have actually happened.

Whether that means that without TWTD you would have actually squished him then, or whether it means that I would not actually be talking out of my wotsit at this point I am not actually qualified to definitively comment on, but I tend towards the latter.

What is it with these celebrities thinking they own the roads! At least he apologised. To be fair to John Torode I think he acknowledged it too with a raised hand in apology. He was with what I presumed to have been his young daughter at the time, must've been no older than 5 or so, in a green school uniform and crossing the road towards Waitrose. This is 10 years or so ago but remember it well, he must just not have seen me and luckily I wasn't driving fast as its a busy road.

I've seen quite a few celebrities while driving now I think of it. Dr Fox (Foxy) was one who must've been on a similar commute timetable as me as I saw him a few times around Kensington area, and let Scott Parker out once in Putney. Samantha Cameron was another I used to see semi regularly.

I had to swerve on my bicycle to avoid John Prescott stepping out without looking outside parliament (think it was on a cycle path as well). He gave me a mouthful, so I went back and said "WTF, you just..." and then I recognised him. I think he recognised that I recognised him and did a sort of apology hand up/wave it away gesture with a smile.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
