top celeb spot
  • andy
    in the Noble. Simon Pegg...

    ...wearing a hat
  • matt
    Top marks.
  • SimonB
    Andy - is it worth creating another version of the Directory ... a map where we can tag celebs and where they were spotted!
  • Emma
    Ah, a friend saw him in there a few weeks ago as well. Right, I'm going to stake out the place.
  • David

    I could just add a Celeb category, but I don't want to do that without Overlord Andy's permission as he'll try and ban me again for usurping his authority.

  • matt
    Not being egotistical here - as I don't see it myself - but people often tell me how I look like Simon Pegg. Including a guy who went to school with him. I think it's just that I usually have stubble, glasses and wear a beanie.

    I really should finish watching Spaced.
  • Lucy
    could people be spotting Matt around stroud green? hence accounting for the dispropportionate number of simon pegg spots.
  • andy

    @david - maybe we can unfuckup the old one before making a new one.

    of course, this is very close to the 'gawker stalker' idea http://www.gawker.com/stalker/

  • andy

    and whilst I'm on it, let's steal this idea too

    http://www.gawker.com/news/shirts/view-slogans-227091.php

    "I joined Scientology and all I got was this lousy, short, untalented, over-controlling movie star."

    one for David "I have no doubt that your children are extraordinary, but I don't want to hear anything about them."

  • matt
    Lucy: sadly I am yet to set foot in The Noble!
  • David

    @andy, what's to unfuck?

  • SimonB
    Walked past Joel Beckett (aka Jake Moon from Eastenders) this morning at Finsbury Park overland station. Not as interesting as Simon Pegg. Let's get a gawker style directory going for Stroud Green!
  • andy

    sorry david - i think the map overlay is being bluecoated in the office. it's fine everywhere else.

  • Pete
    Should have points for taking a photo of them
  • Lucy
    what's with the @andy, @david stuff? Yet another web protocol thing I'm completely unaware of?
  • Four Eyes
    @lucy - just a way of making sure the person you're replying to in a long thread knows it's you they're referring to...
  • Pete
    @lucy @four eyes - Also because vanilla doesn't have a "reply-to" feature built in, and the extension for it sucks.
  • Lucy
    @four eyes - thank you.

    But, why not just say:

    lucy - etc.?

    Is putting @ more cool?
  • Pete
    @ makes it web 2.0
  • dominic
    John Simm of Life on Mars was in Budgeons a few weeks back. I know it's not really SG but close enough.
  • SimonB
    I saw him in WH Smiths in Brent Cross at Christmas
  • lucky
    just saw simon pegg smoking a fat cigar at the noble.
  • SimonB
    Cool - now he`s been spotted drinking there twice I think we can establish that The Noble is his new local ... let the stalking begin ;)
  • matt
    Hahaha!
  • Emma
    Did everyone see the C4 programme on Sunday night with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg? Simon Pegg was wearing a CROUCH END tshirt. I got really overexcited and now my boyfriend thinks I fancy Simon Pegg.
  • Ewan
    I saw it and have now started watching spaced for possible SG sightings.
  • SimonB
    Spaced was more Tufnel Park IIR
  • matt
    Yep
  • Lucy
    Double Whammy!

    Saw Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in The Noble last night. They managed to sit behind me for over 2 hours without me realising (friend had clocked them but was being "cool") and I only noticed when Simon Pegg came back from the toilet!

    I would have spent longer talking about ACTING in a loud voice if I'd known.
  • David

    I'm a bit concerned at the pedestal Mr Pegg seems to have been put on in this forum. It would probably scare him.

  • matt
    It scares me, and I only look like him (allegedly)
  • Ali
    Neil Morrisey has also been seen hanging out in The Nobel. I also remember sitting next to him and Adrian Dunbar in the White Lion probably about 15 years ago or so. The White Lion was the trendy pub of the area then. Full of Guardian readers and it even featured in the Sunday Observer as being what a pub of the future would be ! had a picture of the big round table that used to be in there. It went down hill when the Irsh pub that is now Nandos closed and Weatherspoons changed it into a post Macdonald architecture !

    For the Nobel you have to thank Weathspoons as they converted in from an Off Licence into Marlers Bar, it used to get absolutely packed, Being the Nobel on Friday night brought back days of nostalgia
  • Ali
    Noticed a newspaper article re Simon Pegg and his family history on Saturday.

    Turns out his real name is Simon John Beckingham and he was born in 1970, his Dad was representative selling musical instruments who had a passion for jazz
  • Ali
    Saw Jo Moore of Labour Party, 9/11 email ("today might be a good day to bury bad news") fame walking down Stroud Green Road near John Jones last night.

    Also apparently we have a Government Minster as well, namely Douglas Alexander, Transport and Scotland Secretary. He lives in Florence Road, maybe he will be against the Parkland Walk cycle super highway!
  • tosscat

    Or perhaps he's pro the Dog Poo Mud Bath Mugging Mayhem Super Parkland Walk hell hole - it's really not very constructive to distill these things down to silly names, is it Ali?

  • andy

    Since when did we need to be constructive?

    I like it that you still added 'super' after Dog Poo Mugging Mayhem.

    Dog Poo Mugging Mayhem sounds like a badly translated Japanese computer game from the 80's

  • tosscat

    We don't, it's purely an observation.

  • SimonB
    Was nearly run over by Rick 'Minty from Eastenders' Peterson driving his silver Porsche Carrera up Mount Pleasant Creasant yesterday
  • lucky
    ok simon pegg in the noble........ i know this is nithing new but the dog he now owns is the cutest dog i have seen ......
    i actually started to talk to him about the dog, only a few months old and threw up all over the floor........ wish i had my camera to take a few pics of simon pegg cleaning up dog spew in his local.........
  • matt

    What type of dog is it?

  • andy

    Terrible!

    Sorry, I thought you asked how did it smell.

  • tosscat

    It can't, it hasn't got a nose.

  • Woody
    Neil Morrissey and Nigel Harman from Eastenders were in a group having dinner at Florian's in Crouch End on Friday. Simon Pegg has also been seen getting a take-away from the excellent curry house (although I can't remember the name) opposite the Queens, also in Crouch End. And a bored looking Dermot Murnaghan being dragged around Woolies by his wife on a Saturday morning.
  • Rory
    Johnny Borrell from Razorlight in The Big Fat Sofa (RIP) - complementing strangers on their hair.
  • Rory
    After an afternoon spent cheerfully mopping up dog-sick in The Noble, Simon Pegg likes nothing more than the short jaunt to Finsbury Park and popping a cap in some goose's ass.

  • Ali
    Just heard that Simon Pegg is to be the new Scottie in the new Startrek film !
  • matt

    Some friends came round to dinner last week, and saw Mr Pegg on Crouch Hill walking down towards The Noble.

  • Ian
    Neil Morrissey in the Noble this evening. Behaving well.
  • andy

    Good spot. Though I hardly ever see Pegg in the Noble anymore.

    Not to be an egomaniac about it, I worry that we scared him off.

  • Ian
    Pegg been in a couple of times recently in the Noble - was in friday before last with his dog.
  • VictorMoses
    My boyfriend has seen Dr Legg TWICE at the Albert Road (not Albert Square) bus stop.
