I talked to Martin Freeman for about 15 minutes in a queue in the dry cleaners because i recognised him and thought he played hockey with my brother. He chatted the whole time and never once let on who he was. https://t.co/ViLzKSJo5a

mostly empty bar at a concert venue. David Byrne suddenly appeared next to me. Bartender came over to take David's order. David turned to me. "Did you order?" "Yeah. I ordered from the other guy," I said. "Ok," said David Byrne. https://t.co/vvGW0PeLQ5
