    About 9 years ago,When I was working in Cannes i used to drink in a little irish pub there. I got chatting to some english writers and they told me that the lads from Oasis were always in there. A few mins later they walked in and i was introduced to Liam gallagher. He was friendly. but was later kicked out for smashing glasses over the balcony.:D So rock and roll!!

    Met several famous soccer players, not just Irish one's. Kevin Kilbane was the soundest.

    Bono - talks the same daft rhetoric in person as he does when there's a microphone on him.

    Eric Clapton - very nice guy.

    A few from Fair City and Alan Stanford from Glenroe - nothing too exciting.

    Gay Byrne - briefly

    Tony Fenton - Really thinks he's "it"!!

    George Murphy - So what?

    Alex Higgins - Freak show!

    The gorgeous blonde one who used to (or still does????) read the news on TV3

    The girls from former girl group Bellefire - Kelly Kilfeather was the only genuine one. The Newell sisters, both up themselves!

    Katherine Thomas in a bar in Carlow - totally trying her best to be noticed!

    DJ Carey - very nice fella.

    Tiger Woods - From a distance outside The Gay, I mean, 'K' Club

    Was on a flight to New York with a famous American actress - But I'm so bad at remembering names I couldn't tell you who it was!

    I'm sure there was more but I can't think!

    I haven't met/spotted any major A-listers or anyone like that, but...

    Met Gerry Ryan when I was small and he was filming an episode of 'School Around The Corner' in a hospital years ago. All I can remember was that he seemed really tall, I shook his hand (my father lifted me up to shake hands with Gerry, which is grand when you're a small child, obv.), and that he smelled nice! :pac:

    Stood a few feet away from Graham Norton in Trafalgar Square in London before. He clocked that I recognised him and sort of shot me a steely look that meant, "Don't approach any further, you b@stard". He seemed to be with a bunch of gay-looking men as well.

    Met Dave Fanning at Heathrow a few years ago and got his autograph. In fairness,he was a very nice bloke. He said he was on his way to New York to interview George Clooney.

    Met the singer Declan O' Rourke after his an in-store Virgin Megastore/Zavvi/whatever they're calling it now gig. Got his autograph and had my photo taken with him. Sound bloke. Poor fella was reeeallly hungover tho. ;)

    Spotted Today FM's Ian Dempsey when I was queuing for the portaloos at Oxegen a couple of years ago. He looked like he was waiting for a friend/colleague to emerge from one of the loos. :D

    Was queuing behind Cork hurler Sean Og O' Hailpin at Heuston Station before. Tall bloke. People recognised him and he was chatting happily away to them. Nice fella.

    Oh, I sat a couple of chairs away from Des Bishop in an internet cafe in Cork a few years ago. He was talking to the staff and seemed friendly, but I had the impression he didn't want to be approached by anyone otherwise.

    Had dinner in a restaurant a few tables away from the singer John Spillane last year. He spent the full hour or so conversing in Irish with his buddy.

    Can't remember who else of note that I've met/spotted...

    Met a certain member of Take That who was the first band member to go solo in the airport in 1998. The most arrogant obnoxious cnut I've ever meet. I was working as a cashier in the Duty Free and he bought a pair of Police sunglasses off me and the credit card machine took slightly longer than usual to authorize and he started fcukin and blinding saying that he had a 'fcuking unlimited limit on the card' A couple of girls asked him for his autograph while he was at the till and he said 'he hadn't the fcuking time and was in a rush to catch a flight', yet he was waiting for the authorization!! A complete a$$hole!

    Blobbie Williams has always seemed like he resides in his own arse permanently, so I'm not surprised he was a saucy f*cking boll1x that (or any other) time, tbh

    Oh I had a day of meeting the superstars the other day. Met Nuala Carey (yes THE Nuala Carey!!) in Donnybrook around lunchtime. She's kinda hot. Then wait for this blockbuster...Joe O'Shea on the bus. Plus he drank a Capri Sun. My God they are almost like us regular folk.

    Didn't see him, but Elton John is in the Mount Falcon Hotel in Ballina for the weekend performing. The whole place is closed for a wedding. Even members of the leisure centre aren't allowed into the grounds.

    I'm not surprised because Elton John is a very private,control-fixated bloke. Still,thats a bit of a stretch for the leisure centre members to be prohibited from entering the grounds. I suppose the profit made from the entire leisure centre's members is tuppence compared 2 what the hotel are gonna make from this lavish wedding.
