Not much of an anecdote but I bumped into Andy Partridge from XTC in
the supermarket today and had a brief chat with him.  Told him that I
enjoy his records, etc. and he said that it made his day.  I suspect
that it didn't and he really just wanted to do his shopping, but he
seemed very friendly and it certainly brightened up my afternoon.

To which I reply:

Geez Matt, if that's not much of an anecdote in your world, you must 
have a *very* interesting life :-D.

I'd be pleased as punch to run into Mr. Partridge in the Deli section. 
And I'd damn sure have to run out and tell everyone about it soon 
thereafter! I think a U.S. equivalent might be something like "I bumped 
into Lou Reed at the pharmacy today".

Nice story, thanks for sharing it.
