I'd been working late at a client in Edinburgh in 2003 or 2004 and got a taxi, asking for a good restaurant. He took me to a place called La Garrigue and the waiter asked if I'd like to sit at the front or the back. I said front so I could pop out for the occasional cigarette...
So I plonk myself down at this rustic wooden bench thing closest to the front door, and in front of me on the next bench/table thing was a couple facing the other way and this massive bloke in the middle about five feet away looking right at me. It was Sean Connery. I nearly spat out my aperitif and necked it in about two seconds flat.
Anyway, I kind of calmed down a bit and after popping out for a ciggie where I was explaining to my wife who was sitting right in front of me I came back in and he heard me talking in French as I was hanging up. He then said "oh, my wife's French too" and I ended up chatting with him and the chap who had had his back to me (who happened to be the chairman of Rangers FC). It was possibly the most surreal two hours of my life.

@bazkie @TheBreadmonkey My daughter worked in a 4-star hotel in a town called Tournus about 10 years ago and rang me telling me there was this lovely old bloke called Arthur Garfunkel staying. Yes, Art Garfunkel. I asked her to get his autograph.
He'd done a show in Geneva, hired a car and just pottered about until he found the hotel (he hates modern technology so didn't use the GPS).
So my daughter lit the fire in the snug for him and came over a bit later with an A4 sheet with a photo of him on it, which he signed. He asked her how she got the photo and she ended up explaining how Google works.
So they just spent the evening chatting by the fire and the next morning he asked for her, which was pretty sweet as he didn't realise she was on evening shift.
Anyway, here's the autograph:
