Ruu_Old

Well have you ever spotted any "famous" people on your travels? Me...not many, i did see Martin McGuiness going through Dublin Airport as well as Michelle Smith. No autographs or anything, they went quickly through the terminal

My bro was on a school tour and there were loads of them just sitting down having a chat with him. He was with Jolie at the time (although she wasn't present). My bro said he was really down to earth and didn't mind chatting away.

My best friends also saw Martin Sheen in Nenagh CO. Tipp

I have a mate who is convinced he always sees famous people in airports. Was in one with him and he "spotted" 3 who looked nothing like who he thought they were, for some reason he is convinced they just hang out in airports.

Got a flight home from Chicago last March, Ronan Keating'd been over there doing some Paddy's Day gig, there was some posh southside girls school on the flight, poor ****er had his heart broken the whole way home with Boyzone songs being murdered (suppose he was guilty of that himself).

Met the Inter Milan squad in Rome a few years back when I was on a school tour, they'd been playing Lazio before flying to Moscow for a European game.

Met The Darkness in Rome last year, shower of ****

The then President of the European Parliment, who was waiting at the wrong gate. I thinlk that's all.

Sharon Ellis (1992 Miss Ireland) She was a stewardess so saw her regularly.
Natasha Richardson (Liam Neeson's wife - we dicussed having seen her naked in her 1981 movie The Comfort of Strangers:) It then turned out that the Captain went to school with her hubby)
Steven Segal

I've had the pleasure of being on the same flight as Daniel O'Donnell and Margo, and Tabby whatever-his-name-was from X-Factor. I've also shared a departure gate and plane with Richard Ashcroft..all the colours of the musical rainbow

December 2004. Went to Singapore and on flight back I had Ant and Dec on the plane. I was amazed at how short in height they actually are!! But really friendly, smiled at everyone despite the early morning hour.

Saw that old runner er.. Eamonn something or other, he was on my plane when I was heading to Ny. Guess he was going there for the marathon that was on that week.

Nirvana at the same carousel as me in Dublin airport waiting for their luggage, also saw Van Morrsion in Heathrow- tiny bloke. And saw John Toshack using a payphone in Cardiff.

Saw Alice Cooper in Heathrow, eating pizza.

I met Kevin Keegan and his family on the way to Orlando couple of years back, funny story about meeting people in airports, few years back.

In 1992 when Micheal Curruth won gold in the medal at the olmypics I went up to see the home coming it was late at night and we parked at the ar*e end of the car park, so my friend put me in a wheelchair just til we got closer to the door cause i walk kind slow, anyway half way through the carpark we met Mick Currutths brother and Wayne McColloughs family, who were all over me for coming up in a wheelchair at like 1 in the morning, I couldnt very well say well actually, i am just using it to get to the door, besides my mate was a huge boxing fan, and this was major for him. So in we go up to the VIP Lounge and me in the wheelchair, thoughest part was the Garda on the door was my friends father who I had been playing football with the day before, his face was priceless but i just looked at him, like I'll explain later.....

Sam Vimes

saw gerry adams walking through town. i ignored him

R0ot

Saw those two that won the 'your a star' thing last year in dublin airport, was tempted to go ask them for their autograph then when they signed it go "Oh wait i thought you were **** " instead

Puff Puff Pass

Well, wait for it........The most famous person I've met is Daniel O Donnel - Is her counted as famous? I think I've brought this tread to a new low with the mention of the above

Trolley dolly!!

I saw Tom Jones in Heathrow and Busted in Stansted. Busted was hilarious, they had had one hit and I didn't know who they were. My sister was reading some stupid pop magazine with their picture in it and she looked over and casually said 'there's Busted'. We got an autograph for the laugh. I'm really unobservant so I've probably seen more people and not realised.

I saw Alan Shearer in Heathrow when I was on my way over to Portugal one time. It was just at the start of the world cup finals in 2002 and England were to play Argentina the next day, so I was surprised to see him going to Portugal and not Korea.

It turned out he was staying in the same resort as we were! As it happens, it's a good resort to see famous footballers, because my ex (whose parents own an apartment there) saw the whole Man U team over there one year including David Beckham.

Heyes

Saw East 17.. :rolleyes:

It was during the whole Take That V East 17 stage, so i was well shocked, seeing as they were just wandering around the airport just like any other jo soap :rolleyes:

He seems a down to earth lad. I'd said he'd be some drinking partner espically if he was bringing Jolie with him!

saw Vernon Kaye talking on his mobile phone in LA international airport... he's lovely looking

kenny cunningham at dublin airport after world cup then when my flight arrived in LA michael douglas was in the terminal beside me with about 20 porters and dozens of suitcases,i thought i was imagining it as i had taken a few sleeping tablets for the long flight but i pinched myself and realised it was really him,then i slapped myself repeatedly for briefly acting like a starstruck fool .
