    Back in the 80's and 90's I worked as a dental nurse in London in a number of different practices, worked for the official dentists for the Arsenal team so I got to regularly meet lots of footballers from several teams. Now that was a nice job seeing all those fit males stretched out in front of me in a vunerable position :D

    Also had plenty of people offering me money to "injure" footballers from fans of opposing teams. I could have made a forture ;)

    Also got to meet a lot of celebs, well known people, sports stars, high profile people, astronaut etc.

    Billy Connolly at a relatives wedding. He was sound, drinking a pot of Earl Grey tea!

    Robbie Coltraine on a flight to Glasgow, thought his accent/voice was fab.

    Bono a few years ago, at a work do hosted in the Clarence. We were finished the meal and having a few drinks and he came in to say hello and check if we had all enjoyed meal and hospitality. I kid you not!! Seemed sound but I was a bit pissed at the time..... My then employers were quite lavish when treating the 'staff':D.

    I met Bertie Ahern once in a shopping centre when he was out scrambling for votes in May 2007. I was just comin out of Tesco when I heard all this racket, "Bertie pumps oil for Shell!!" comin from the throats of a hippy-ish lookin throng of assorted people. Then I saw Bertie's head bobbing up admidst the swelling crowd and I decided to edge my way in to get a closer look. Next thing I knew, I'm shaking hands with the bloke and saying hello. He's very rosy cheeked up close and his hands are the size of big spades. Michael Martin was beside him. Spooky thing was.... I remember thinkin at the time, "What a nice bloke (Bertie, not M.M.)"....
    :(
