Wendy - glad you got your BM dress sorted out and as for seeing Ewan McGregor, how cool is that???

I've only ever seen 2 "stars" in the flesh - Marti Pellow walked past my friend and I in Bothwell St years ago when he was going through his hippy faze with his long hair - he had on nothing but a waistcoat which was open, a pair of ripped jeans, a pair of cowboy boots and some beads! He was strutting down the street looking around to see who was watching him - my friend and I couldn't stop laughing, he was SO pathetic looking! My other claim to fame is that Johnny Lee Miller asked me to dance!

I was with my then boyfriend in Sunset Boulevard (you'll know it Wendy) in Clydebank just about the time Trainspotting was released and this wee guy is dancing beside me and comes over and says "fancy a dance" - I thought he was lovely but very small and I was with my boyfriend so I said no - he shrugged his shoulders and danced off. Half an hour later the DJ said "here's the Trainspotting theme tune and tonight we have a real live member of the Trainspotting cast in our club - give a very warm welcome to Johnny Lee Miller - SICK BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!" The spotlight went on this wee guy who'd asked me to dance and the place went wild! I just stood there with my mouth hanging open, completely gobsmacked that I hadn't recognised him (his hair was brown!) and even more gobsmacked that I'd turned him down!
