Sir Jimmy Saville lives in Roundhay which is a mere few miles from my house. It's in the adjoining postcode actually :owned:

Vic Reeves! Legend! He is from Leeds :P

Also there's various Emmerdale actors in Leeds I think.

Mick Jagger lived in the road we live in when he was young, Keith Richards lived in the flat just along the road. Mick went to school with my neighbour. Every so often we get a coach load (usually oriental people; for some reason) driving down the road and stopping to look at the house Mick lived in. Quite often long lost souls stop and ask me when I'm out washing my mini, which was Mick's house?

Bob Geldof apparently lives in or near Faversham (where Dom lives).

David Baddiel lives in a village about a mile away from me, my sister has been in his house as he used her architecture company for some renovation when he moved in.

I live here, that's famous enough for my liking! :angry:

My GF's brother went to school (just down the road) with Tim Vincent though! :owned:

Ummm, I guess my boss is pretty famous too, kinda.

Aaaaand, Ian Woosnam is a local boy in the town I work in (Oswestry). In fact, I own one of his old golf clubs (if I am to believe the tale told me by the lad I bought the putter off) :P :P

paddy the vet from emmerdale lives across the road from me and eric pollard also from emmerdale lives just down the road from me, always see them to speak to, they are both very easy to get on with,
sylvester stallone used to live just on the hill by mine (never saw him tho), probably because i live in the middle of nowhere its nice for them to come and get away! lol
