    Prince Edward of the UK or Prince Hashem of Jordan. Not sure who's more famous worldwide. I've said 'hi' to a few more famous people, but I wouldn't count that as 'meeting'

    Its hard to tell who is the most famous person I met, its probably a toss up between Bertie Ahern and Gerry Adams, I would hazard a guess that Adams is perhaps better known globally than Bertie but I could be wrong...then again maybe Daniel O'Donnell is more famous than both of them in which case it would be him :D.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Most of the cast of Buffy and Angel, cast of Firefly/Serenity, some of the cast of Star Trek, Robert Patrick, Armin Shimmerman, Veronica Guerin (RIP), Spice Girls (one still stands out as being a poppus twat), politicans (American and European), Karl Cox, Pete Tong, Boy George, ABC, Meatloaf are a few.
    (Along the way I've met too many cowboy Irish politicians.)

    They're the ones I can name.

    Met a fair few and best of the whole lot is a chappie called "Nathan Fillion", American actor and one really down to earth, naturally very funny guy.

    Barack Obama. But that isn't very special considering how many people must have met him while he was campaigning.

    When I worked in London in my hospital job, I met a football legend but I can't give his name as it would be a breach of confidentiality. But I had absolutely no knowledge or interest in footie I didn't know who he was!
    I went to school with Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh, does that count?

    Who? Whoever he is he can't be as famous as Kevin Hough from the Lyrics Board. I played bowling with him. He was crap and cost me money and spot prizes.
