Having a wiki page is hardly famous. But on that Criterion I currently work with Ashish Goyal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - in fact I am writing tools to help him cope with his blindness. Like all decent traders he has left IB and now works for a hedge fund.
I was once a close friend of Matt O'Connor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - though I have only seen him once in 4 years. For the launch of his "queen of the dessert". He came to my wedding and I came to his. Following certain activities with f4j he described me as "the most evil c**t I have ever met" - my favourite quote.Comment

Rolf Harris gave me a box of choccies once.
Bumped into Emelyn Hughes in a pub near Chobham.
Met Boris Johnston at a village fete
Was on one of the lottery quiz programmes with Philip Schofield and chatted to him. (I was number 2)
Rory Underwood was in clientCo's office and walked past my desk.
Was next to Judith Chalmers in a traffic jam on the M25.
Paula Fudge (ex Commonwealth games gold medalist and 5K world record holder) does the same parkrun as me. She's just a bit faster.
Wow, I really am mixing with the rich and famous.Last edited by mudskipper; 2 December 2012, 17:27.Comment

Never met/talked to anyone famous.
Seen:
Gordon Banks, on a train (ok I've seen 100s of football players and the odd musician performing, but that doesn't really count does it?)
Rich Hall, walking around Marylebone
Craig Charles in a hotel bar in Maidstone.Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on TwitterComment
