    I played Tennis one court from Martin Keown in Galway like 10 years ago, I got his autograph and I was going to challenge him to a game of Tennis but I didn't have the balls :D

    Met Gaybo at Galway Oyster Fest a couple of years ago, the man was sound out, bang on. We chatted for a good quarter of an hour. Also saw thierry henry score a hat-trick but then again so did the 38500 other supporters at the match :D:D:D

    Pauline Mcglynn laughed sarcastically at a joke she thought I made when I was about 15, doing work experience. I was going to offer her a cup of tea afterwards but chickened out.

    I also saw M People and Boyzone in the Airport during the height of their respective fames.

    But my biggest claim to lame is seeing Buffalo G, also at the airport!




    edit: I also saw gaybo in Howth train station a few months ago.

    I convinced a few people in a pub once that Gary Lightbody, Mickey Harte and a few other 'celebs' were in the same pub. They weren't but there were some guys there who looked like them. Tried to get non-Mickey Harte to sing that song from Eurovision but he didn't know it.

    Packie Bonner was on the same Air Lingus flight to New York as me. He was very nice to anyone who approached him.

    Mick Galway was signing copies of his book in a phone shop once. You got a free book if you bought a phone, but I didn't want to buy a phone so I ran in with my maths book, asked him to sign it, said 'You rock' and ran out again.

    And my biggest claim to lame: Sinead from that band Six went to the same school as me and I got her autograph when she visited. (In fairness, I tried to sell it to the little girl I was minding that night, thus restoring my street cred...she had no money though so I threw the autograph away.)
