The Celebrity Spotting Thread Part Twee (or help Flatty identify the celeb he just spotted) (Part 1)

Spotted Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times on Furry Park Road, Dublin 5, on my afternoon stroll today. I was on my way to the Sybil Hill Road entrance of St Anne’s Park at around 3.43pm and he was walking in the opposite direction. I dare say he was coming from the park himself, possibly having been impressed by the Nationwide St Anne’s Park special on RTE last night. He was wearing a grey and white light sweatshirt / jumper and those ridiculous three quarter length / below the knee shorts that were all the rage in around 2008. He was sporting rosy red cheeks and was walking up on the grass verge with his head buried in his phone (instead of walking on the path). My sense was he wasn’t making a conspicuous effort to avoid Covid community transmission, he just didn’t want to have to weave past people on the path while scrolling down his Twitter timeline.

You did well to recognise Malachy, which is to say not a spot.

I’m going out on a limb here
Who? Nick Leeson
Famous for? Everybody knows
When? Yesterday afternoon
Where? Out cutting the grass.
I passed his house which is on the opposite corner to a couple of fields I have an interest in, on the way home from swimming at BlackRock (9 degrees)
He looked well tanned, either sunbed, foreign travel or jaundice. I waved with the slow index finger up off the wheel for a lad you’d seen before but who wouldn’t know you (cc @Big_Dan_Campbell )
He ignored me, didn’t see me, or pretended to ignore me.
In any case, he didn’t acknowledge my instinctively well judged greeting.

I’ve never heard of Nick Lesson. Not a spot

[myboyblue]

Let that be a Leeson to him.

[flattythehurdler]

And there’s me thinking you were in the corporate world.

Do I take it you saw Nick Leeson then?

Any chance of a resubmission being successful?

No.

Ouch !! Brief yet brutal. Lesson learned.

@anon67715551

Lesson learned.

Or Leeson learned

[myboyblue]

Eh mate?

[flattythehurdler]

Who?
Danny Drinkwater.
Where?
Alderley Edge yesterday morning. Presumably home on holidays or suspended or out on bail.
No prizes for guessing what Danny was driving.
Danny has the look of a lad who fell into a barrel of nipples and came out sucking a thumb.

[flattythehurdler]

Ps it wasn’t a lawyer into a ditch this time.

Who? Nick Leeson
Famous for? Everybody knows
When? Just there last week

Previously given as not a spot. And still not a spot. An infraction will be incoming if you post this person again.

I’m running out of patience here.

[flattythehurdler]

Ps Danny was driving this. It suits his personality perfectly. Like an angry bald chav and his Pitbull.

[flattythehurdler]

Your legendary patience. Eek.
