WoW! It's like living in hollywood around here! :eek:

I pulled Mary Harney in one of our many trndy, star studded bars before! I was a bit star struck at first, I admit, but she's really down to earth and just like the rest of us!

Been afraid of him since the opening scene in intermission :eek:

I dont move in the same circles as the beautiful people so the only famous people Ive met were Paul Daniels (the magician) and his 'lovely' wife Debbie McGee... Knew them at the time but not something I boast about :rolleyes:

I served some guy from Fair City, Dermot I think his characters name is, in work last summer. Des Bishop has been in the shop a few times when he's in the area. Also some woman from TV3 was in too.

skye

Seamus Heaney - lovely man...

What worries me is that the OP allowed her to sign for her goods rather than use her PIN and didn't bother checking the name on the card, my first thought would be to check that the name on the card matched the gender of the customer... or is that just showing my age?

I think someone better remind all posters the OPs post was

Ever met somone famous......and not know they were famous at the time?

There's been too many "ever met someone famous" threads on AH...

I met that footballer, Vinnie Jones I think is his name, when I was about 8 on a late flight home from England. My sister and I were the only children on the flight and on the shuttlebus from the plane to the main building he did some magic tricks for us involving coins and ears. I didn't know who he was until my mum told me.

Aoibheann

Met Damien Duff on a plane over to London, the day after the France match ;_;. I recognised him of course, but when I turned around to tell my mum she said "Damien Who?". Cue jaw dropping. My mother knows zero about football.

Mate of mine's Uncle spent a flight sitting next to this South African Gentlemen. They made small talk, then my mates uncle brought up his favourite hobby: Golf. The South African Dude turned out to be very interested and talked alot about golf. As the plane landed my mates Uncle realised he didnt know the gentlemens name so he stuck out his hand and said his name. The South African responded "Hi .... I'm Ernie. Ernie Els"

I saw john Torturro (Jesus from big lebowski) in southampton airport once - think he had gotten off a flight from Nice.

Didnt speak to him though I spent about 5 mins thinking about a big lebowski joke then decided that that could end badly. Also sat opposite that astrologer guy (patrick something) from Sky at night once on a tube years ago.

DOH - after re-reading the original post

....and not know they were famous at the time?

What ~I meant to say was No - never did.

Crash and burn... Excellent.

While working in JD Sports (anyone want to make jokes about that one? Its a hole, get over it) I served shoes to Ken Doherty (he was buying astroturf boots for his nephew, I think). I also managed to be (allegedly - according to her) quite rude and unhelpful to (I found out afterwards) Samantha Mumba. Man, she was a minger.

Thats about it.

I was walking the Sheeps Head penninsula down in west Cork last september and was doing a bit of map reading on the side of the road before heading up into the hills when this fancy ass lexus pulled up alongside me. The guy waved me over so I ran to the car and opened the passenger door. He offered me a lift, so I explained that I was walking the whole circuit so he was alright. Besides he was kind of giving me the glad eye. We chatted for a bit and I thanked him for stopping by to offer me a lift.
It was only when he drove off that I realised that it was Christy Moore. I think I didn't recognise him 'cos he wasn't covered in sweat.
Still fair play to him for stoping off.

*grabs a rabbit*

"Would ya look at this one, he looks just like your man, Harvey Keitel"




Ive met/seen/or shook hands with (excluding concerts) Anne Doyle (seen about 3 times round town), Joe Duffy (saw him from top of a bus), Ray Darcy (team won a schools thing, he presented prizes, sound lad), Gerry Fleming from the weather (his son was in the competition Ray presented prizes at. Yer RTE influence got you fcuk all that day Gerry!), John Bruton (at the opening of the Blanch shopping centre, must be 10 years now, shook his hand) Mary McAleese at.....something, former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, the weatherman off UTV weather, Father Stone from Fr Ted, and I could swear I once saw Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royle), if it wasnt him it was his twin brother.

God, it must be 4- 5 years since I saw anyone famous, bar at gigs.

I went for dinner with a few friends once, and with us was the lead singer of Powderfinger. (aussie band). I'd never heard of them at the time. Thats about the height of it for me. HOWEVER a girl I knew in college came in one morning and told us she had been with a guy the night before who was an Irish soccer player. She didn't believe him, and couldn't remember his name (which she assumed was fake anyway - classy girl!). Anyway, one of the lads in the class was reading a paper and she saw the back page and went mental - she saw the guy (for obvious reasons, I'm not saying who it was) and couldn't believe he was who he said he was. If she was lying, she's the best actress I ever met - she was really shocked.

anyway, this thread just reminded me of that
