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

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.

I met Ronnie Wood in a pub in Clane a few months back, just before the story of him and the Russian cocktail waitress broke... Have a really cool pic of me and him on my phone, I'd post it but I've no idea how to get pics from the phone onto the pc... He's TINY... very approachable man, he gave me a big hug for the photo

Met Michael Greco from Eastenders in the Palace on Camden Street a few years back, swarms of young girls around him :rolleyes:

Met the twins from Bewitched too in a traffic jam one day, the person who was driving the car I was in knew them, they chatted with us for a bit.. seem nice enough.. very squeeky voices though..

I saw the entire All Blacks team on grafton Street one day walking towards me, some sight ooooh chi-aaald..

I saw Glenda Gilson in the Blanch Centre a few weeks ago with her friends, she's soooo much smaller than she looks in pictures..

Oh yeah and my dad's a good friend of Brendan Kilkenny :pac:

Knocked "Mondo" from fair city flying in Dakota bar. He was texting and wasn't looking where he was going and unfortunately for him he hopped off me!!

Was in a petrol station in portlaoise when the euro replaced the punt. Was listening to the "cheapskate" arguing with the young guy working there about how the 3 punt carwash was now 5 euros and should have been less than 4 euros with the conversion. He went out after 5mins of twisting, and the young guy says "do you know who that was" - "Jim Corr". Nearly burst my side laughing!!

I met Billy Zane when I was working in America years ago, before the Kelly Brook years, skinheaded and on a tandem bike!!! Nice fella.

Saw Tom Selleck shopping!

I also met Doug Stanhope and had a drink with him, huge celebrity moment for me even though most people probably don't know who he is and don't like him if they do, but I think he's genius, one of the funniest comics alive!! Got a photo and autograph too...yay:):)

Mark Riccadonna - another american comedian, very funny guy, spent the night havin a few with him and his girlfriend and still in contact, he's a lovely fella too.
