Ha, the sound of the barrel being scraped from the bottom.

Thats some list Degsy, I always feel inadequate in these threads. I sat next to P-p-p-rionsias De Rossa on a flight once. Thats about the height of it for me.

Anybody remember Liam from the last big brother show ? Well i'm sitting at home one night and my son walks in the door with none other then LIAM :eek:, .Very surreal .He had said to me earlier that day that he might bring him to the house but of course i thought he was just taking the piss. Dont ask me how or were he meets them but if he does he will bring them home

Met T.I in best buy in New York! Hes really small and had a hell of alot of security!!

metaoblivia

I met Dean Cain when I was little. He signed a picture for me.
I met Alan Rickman in college. He gave a small lecture on theatre and drama. He was very nice, but kind of intimidating - dressed all in black and rarely smiled.
I shook hands will Bill Clinton when he visited my mother's school back in the 90s.
And I had an awkward moment with Steven Tyler from Aerosmith while going into my gym about a year ago (he was leaving and yelling at someone behind me and then he saw me staring at him like wtf? and apologized).

trailerparkboy

I met woody harrelson and robin williams in alaska drinking in a pub.

Kablam

I met Paul o Connell once buts he's not really a celeb but that's it:(
Is it cos i don't live in Dublin/London that i never bump into anyone famous? Just seems wierd that some people meet loads and others dont meet anyone at all. suppose it's down to where and who you hang out with.

Me too! I won a colouring competition when I was about 6 and he was giving out the prizes

Apart from that a few F1 drivers, Eurosport commentators, a load of professional cyclists, several famous evolutionary biologists (I could name names but don't know if they would be recognised!)

Mia Farrow told me I had a "great mom" - shows what a crackpot she is...

I met Damon Hill on a plane when I was a kid - he was lovely.

I met Rachel Stevens from S Club 7 - she was not lovely.

I sold dvds to Simon Amstell and probably every single person who's ever been in Fair City, Twink and Nicky from Westlife.

I have walked past but not spoken to Mel Gibson, Cillian Murphy, Paddy Considine, Gabriel Byrne, Gay Byrne, Hugh Grant, Ulrika Johnson, Gaz Coombs and Mani from Primal Scream and Brian Dowling.
