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

[flattythehurdler]

This was George
Where? Concord lounge Heathrow
When? Just there this afternoon
George was dressed in all black with a black cap with gold logo which looked fearfully expensive. Travelling with a very glamorous lady of colour, both well dressed with what I think was Louis Vuitton hand luggage.
George caught me looking at him a few times but neither of us acknowledged the fact.
I darent ask for a better photo as

1. Covid
   And
2. He still looks very well
   And
3. Heavyweight champion of the world.
   I’m delighted with the spot, but after a glass of champagne (pink), a Manhattan, a Heineken (only option) and an espresso martini, I still didn’t like to due to covid.
   On the plane now.
   For the sake of openness, I am flying first class for the first and only time, which was 1k cheaper than business class when we first booked.
   It’s awesome.

If you’d known the late Thomas Galligan you wouldn’t have fallen for it either.
The poor unfortunate was the old style midfielder, catch and kick and never take a backward step. He met a sad end, drowning in a drain when he hadn’t the wherewithal to extricate himself. A sociable and well liked gent.

Very fair

I am going to accept your bona fides and give this as a spot.

Who : Vincent Browne

Where : Wandering about Dun Laoighaire in a few places over the past hour.

Attire : Wearing a long black crombie coat, jeans and hiking boots.

Actions: He was walking around with his head down in a downbeat manner. He hadn’t been at a barber in a while and his hair was very disheveled.

I bade him a cheery “Howya Vincent”. He looked up with me with disdain and almost a scowl. I don’t know if it was due to three small poxes running amuck on the footpath stalling him or the fact I’m a Tipp roaster.

Everyone would be wary of smallpox.

Celeb Spotting

I need a couple of rulings please: Alan Lewis, former Irish cricket international and current rugby football international referee, keeping wicket in a bounce game of cricket in YMCA Sandymount this evening. Lewis is a member of the club in question so I’m not sure if seeing him messing around there counts as a spot. I’ve also had a flashback of Ciara O’Callaghan, aka Yvonne from Fair City, being in the pub last Friday night. Are we accepting Fair City ‘stars’ as spots these days? Mac, there’…

Saw Alan Lewis or “Lewie” as his pal insisted on calling him outside Bear Market in Blackrock, County Dublin this morning. “Lewie” was looking as fresh as a daisy.
Still not a spot though.

A solid contender for COTY. I somehow attended an AIL rugby game pre dinner event around 10 years ago where he was the speaker.

He spent the time bigging himself up, casting homophobic slurs at Nigel Owens, and congratulating a table of ladies for their Movember efforts along with some rugby jocular banter. People walked out. He was still speaking as kick off was taking place. A narcissistic asshole.

He has that look about him in fairness

Zero Covid enthusiast Tomás Ryan sitting outside Il Valentino there. Cc @Horsebox

Not a spot.

[Horsebox]

I spotted him supping cans outside Brewdog one of the evenings during lockdown when we were allowed outdoor pints so he must be local to the area. As he is a no mark sub teacher I didn’t log him as a spot either.

[balbec]

Was he wearing a mask?

[Fagan_ODowd]

@balbec

Was he wearing a mask?

He wasn’t but he was outdoors so I’d give him a pass.

[flattythehurdler]

Slightly better photo

@flattythehurdler

Slightly better photo

You got your spot. Now jog on.

[flattythehurdler]

I was trying to provide a little more evidence as you suggested my bona fides may be insufficient.
I was looking through my photos.

[glenshane]

George who?

[habanerocat]

@glenshane

George who?

George Foreman.

He famous for designing a food grill thing for fat Americans.
They break after a few weeks.

[glenshane]

Is he a chef or something? Flatty should have provided a surname, only massive celebrities like the lad I occasionally meet in Straw are exempt…imho

[habanerocat]

I think he’s trying to cod you Fagan.
That’s the exact same photo as he posted up the first time.

[habanerocat]

@glenshane

Is he a chef or something?

Not really. He’d be on those late night advertising programs where drunk people and insomniacs phone in to buy stuff they’ll never use. You wouldn’t have seen them as you’d have to be up early to milk the cows.
