Martin Amis, Nigella Lawson, Rik Mayall, Topper Headon from the Clash, were all regulars.<BR/><BR/>One night off, I was at home and was watching the TV adaptation of 'Lady Chatterly's Lover'. In this particular episode, Joely Richardson was prancing around buck naked for most of the time. The next day, who should walk in to the shop but the delightful Ms Richardson herself. It was really odd serving someone I had just seen on the telly in the buff, the night before.Gerry O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258975282506346245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20008671.post-1159893861017643472006-10-03T17:44:00.000+01:002006-10-03T17:44:00.000+01:00Lorainne, as a man of sophisticated tastes (even t...Lorainne, as a man of sophisticated tastes (even though he's a Sheffield Utd supporter) Sean Bean would typically shop at Waitrose.

On a more glamorous note, quite recently I saw the actor Sean Bean in Waitrose in Whetstone, North London. We did cross in the aisle and he glanced in my direction but I didn't know what to say. I really liked him in the 'Sharpe' series based on the Bernard Cornwell novels. He played an army recruit from a deprived background who rose to be an officer through a lot of daring exploits and managed to seduce quite a number of women along the way - there were also some very good fight scenes. I also really enjoyed his performance in Lady Chatterly's Lover, Goldeneye and Patriot Games. He even made a guest appearance on the comedy show The Vicar of Dibley. So I was a bit starstruck so unusually for me was lost for words!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20008671.post-1159736581570230472006-10-01T22:03:00.000+01:002006-10-01T22:03:00.000+01:00Parnell, every time I go back I notice the changes...Parnell, every time I go back I notice the changes. It's certainly become a lot more cosmpolitan within a short space of time and the new retail area with M&S, Next, etc where the showgrounds used to be seems to be doing well. And there's the big new tech they're building and I believe a brand new theatre on the riverbank. Love the new stands at Healy Park too. So changes for the better are certainly afoot. Shame about the hospital though - we've now got the ridiculous situation of no maternity facilities anywhere in the whole of Tyrone. <BR/>BTW, is there any chance of Omagh Town re-forming?<BR/><BR/>Cyberscribe - good idea. The folks at Slugger would love that.CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352092020697710430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20008671.post-1159719427230737272006-10-01T17:17:00.000+01:002006-10-01T17:17:00.000+01:00I always remember...The Mrs was singing, doing a c...I always remember...<BR/>The Mrs was singing, doing a caberet spot, @ Royal Portrush. Paddy K, who was then unknown, kept the backing band going about who this fella Paddy Kielty was.

The mini-celebs still made an occasional appearance.<BR/><BR/>Omagh High Street remains as it was, the major retail attraction for all of West and Mid-Tyrone but the Hospital battle id almost certainly lost. As for Donna Traynor, Donna is part of our provincial infrastructure, she's a mini BBC institution on her own - a pure Norn Iron ledgend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
