Had a burger with Paul McGrath, Kevin Moran and Chris Morris...they came out of a bar, into the chippie, chatted for a few mins while eating and back into the bar.

That must have been a bit weird, 4 guys sharing a burger, that's probably only a bite each.

Michael D kicked us out of his (Galway) house for smoking a bong out of his kitchen sink. He came into the kitchen in PJ's and one of those hats... all he was missing was the candle.

I'm not even ashamed to admit this in public, it was fcuking hilarious :pac:

Please let that be true

spurious

For the oldies who would know who I mean, Fiona Spence, a.k.a. Miss Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Bennett from 'Prisoner Cell Block H', later Celia from 'Home' and Away'.

A delightful woman, of Irish extraction, with a real way of telling a funny story. We savaged a couple or three bottles of rosé.

Were you on the Irish Olympic swimming team?

"Well, Limerick is a Jack Bauer kind of town. . .

It is, it is. The Olympics were on, and one of my favourite stories ever happened there. I was sitting next to a guy in a pub, and he had a tracksuit on, from the Olympics, and I said: 'That was pretty fast, that you got that; I didn't think they were selling them yet.'

And he said: 'I'm on the Olympics team'.

I said: 'No, you're not, the Olympics are in Barcelona. . .' or wherever they were at the time.

And he said: 'I am'. The bartender nodded.

So I said, 'What event?'

And he said: 'Swimming', and I looked up at the TV in the pub, and the swimming was on.

I said: 'No you're not -- they're swimming, right now'.

And he went, 'Well, I didn't do well, did I!?'."

Very Good read

Michael Palin at prague airport in 2002. I didnt know him from Monty Python (19yr old girl en route back from a summer in the sun) My leaving cert geography teacher used to stick his '80 days around the world' documentary on and fall asleep/scratch his chalk covered crotch/ stick his keys in his ears, when we should have been learning about erosion and tetonic plates etc. so that's only how I recognised him as Michael Palin at the time.

I was coming home because I was penniless and had a 6hr layover at prague airport. He sat at my table in the outside smoking area, we got chatting about his documentary and my geography teacher and he got me a couple of drinks. Very nice person.

I watched monty python a year or two later and am an avid fan now...still cant believe I said to him 'are you your man from the 80 days around the world documentary?'

I was about 16, I honestly have no reason to make it up.

We ended up in the house because my friend's cousin was in the same year as his son (I won't mention his name). Same lad was well known for the craic.

The best bit was (and i'll never forget this), was the man himself calmly walking through the kitchen door and queerly asking "what's going on in here?" just as one of the lads was about to choke up a lung.

Christ I wish I knew how to describe the out-fit on him.... i'm guessing you know what i'm on about... stripey PJ's, with the hat and the candle.... (minus the candle)

Had a heap of pint bottles of Bulmers with Blackey Connors from Glenroe one christmas which was strange because I don't drink Bulmers.

When working in a bar I served John Mahoney of Frasier's Dad fame on more than one occasion.

I believe that 100%. I was in the same class as his son and we used to get up to all kinds of stuff in his house after a night out.

I used to drink in a local pub where Blackie would be around if he was in Cork (sorry don't know his real name !).

I was pissing away next to him in the jacks doing the usual "HEY BLACKIE", Ignore "HEY BLACKIE" Ignore. "HEY BLACKIE" Cue...."MY NAMES NOT ****ING BLACKIE !".

If anyone knows Tom Barrys in Cork that was there and he turned up at Toms funeral a few years ago. A gent.

He must have been ****e sick of people calling him Blackie !

Other people of note I've seen in Toms was Harry Potter (his gal at the time was in a play in the everyman), Robert Plant (was playing in the Marquee later). Cillian Murphy a few times (hes from the area). Hes shorter than you might think but as a straight male he's gorgeous. If i had to.............Cillian.
