You can't really say that the Dalai Lama is "...off the telly"
Just remembered another one, which I think I've told on here before. My house was on the market and the agent rang up to say someone wanted to look at it but they couldn't send anyone to do the viewing so would I mind doing it myself. I was quite happy to do that and answered the door to the couple viewing. There was something a bit familiar about the husband but I couldn't quite place it. Then when he saw my son's drumkit in the basement and started talking music to him, I twigged it was Guy Garvey.
