    Once served Ronan Keating when i worked in a deli/butcher's counter back in the day. Told him we had no chicken fillets left. Poor lad wasn't impressed.

    Also met Gabriel Byrne, Bono, Brendan O'Connor and Dara O'Briain.

    My brother went on the piss with some of the lads from the Chinese Democracy version of Guns N Roses

    Edit: I also met Bill Clinton

    Louis Walsh gave me what can only be traumatically described as a flirtatious eye while walking past me in town one Christmas.

    Louis' brother is actually married to my aunt.

    I was in London in 2009, and we were walking down the street and Damian Lewis with a friend came out of a door, and a bunch of paparazzi came over to them. About 10 seconds later britney spears came out of another door further down (on the same street. All the paparazzi came over to her instead, and Damian Lewis says to us (well to the street in general) '**** OFF THE LOT OF YOU'

    Edit - ronan keating lives in my estate, I see around all the time. He's a nob.

    Met Brendan O' Carroll, I think he was doing something for that Who Do You Think You Are programme at the time. A gentleman, very unassuming and friendly.

    Met the space rock group Hawkwind at the entrance to the Glasgow Barrowlands in 1985, suitably stoned, Alan Davies the bassist at the time asked if we wanted some autographs, my mate suggested that he would like his roll up autographed to which Davies signed it and my mate then smoked. I then passed Davies a spliff which he went to sign and I said: "No, thats for smokin man." To which he started smoking it, twas a good night.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    I worked in a hotel once that was hosting the darts player Keith Deller for a small tournie, the porter told me that he found him strolling down the hotel floor in his boxers in the middle of the night, and then tried to pay for his room service with a bookie slip that he signed his name on it.

    I bumped into Patrick Bergin outside the gates of Trinity College one evening. We were both rushing in opposite directions - almost sent me flying. Solid guy and is much taller than he looks on screen.

    I was standing outside the Sydney State Theatre last week for the world premiere of Angelina Jolie's new film. She was working the crowd for about an hour. I was enjoying the buzz and energy around the place, but I felt a bit indifferent about her actual presence. However, that changed when I found myself standing a few feet away from her. She is unusually beautiful. Of course she's also very intelligent, eloquent and talented. But my god, she's an absolute belter.

    Some of Showbands was filmed here so saw Kerry Katona and Liam Cunninghan.

    Kerry Katona is very small in real life, not a bad looking woman though.

    I used to hate threads like this when a certain poster was still around...

    **** like "I have worked closely with some high profile people indeed, in the political field and the entertainment business. I know more about them than any journalist, but please do not ask me to name names. It would not be wise of me to do so."
