I ran into Avril Lavigne last night in Bruselles. I was just wondering has anyone else seen any alleged celebrities in any bars around town, excluding Lilles or Renards

LundiMardi · 17-05-2005 10:03AM

what time was she in there at?

shacko · 17-05-2005 10:05AM

It was gone midnight she is tiny

Kernel · 17-05-2005 10:19AM

Seen Gazza, Dean Stockwell (Al from Quantum Leap) and Liam Gallagher in Bruxelles over the years (hey, I been drinking there a long time!).

In town, seen Sinead O'Connor (lovely looking), Samantha Mumba (lovely looking) in my local, the two from Eurovision (Donna loved me) a couple of weeks ago also in the local. U2 in the VIP bar of the Kitchen. Few others, but I cannot remember because I was drinking at the time, and those brain cells are long since departed.

Ahh, **** it, they're only celebrities in fairness. Wouldn't you rather meet someone interesting or someone with something to say. I'd like to have a few beers with Jesus for example, at least he is famous for doing something!

LundiMardi · 17-05-2005 10:22AM

i saw Samantha Mumba in UCI Tallaght. I saw Neil Morressy(sp) a la Men Behaving Badly in Stephens green, he was with some footballer as well but i don't know who it was.

In England i've ended up drinking with a few footballers , just a good laugh.

Last year in Lisbon I was walking past a stadium on the way home after a night out... and bumped into the new guitarist of Limp Bizkit. He was surrounded by a load of teeny boppers and seemed to be loving it. He was telling one girl "go on give me your number and I promise I'll call you". Myself and my friends didn't believe he was in Limp Bizkit as I thought that they had a weird eyed guitarist.... but apparently he left..... so one of the girls there unravelled a poster and pointed at the young fellow in front of us and said "look it is him!!"

Ok!

shacko · 17-05-2005 12:50PM

Has anyone seen anyone in the last couple of days i heared Brian May was in Bruselles Sunday. An Peter O toole is supposed to be propping up bars all over town

AARRRGH · 17-05-2005 12:53PM

Too many to name... Sure Dublin is such a small city it's hard NOT to bump into celebs...

irlirishkev · 17-05-2005 12:56PM

I see Samantha Mumba every now and then in Westwood in Clontarf. I go more than she does though, ergo, I should look fitter. I don't though, I can't figure it out.. I don't think she's particularly attractive though.

I met Michael Stipe in O'Connors Jeans on Grafton St. once. Went up to say hi, and he greeted me with 'sorry I don't give autographs'.. uppity git, I'm not even a fan!

karlh · 17-05-2005 01:16PM

i beat Mondo from Fair City in a game of pool once.

NikNik · 17-05-2005 01:54PM

Aisling O'Neill from Fair City at a session in Stillorgan
Ray from Big Brother near the cinema in Dun Laoghaire
'N Sync and Britney Spears at a roller skating rink in Orlando years ago
Maurice Gibb from the Bee Gees around the same time while working in Ruby Tuesdays in Orlando (left a nice tip)
Saw Freddie Murphy in the car beside us while stopped at a red light in L.A.
A friend of mine was in the toilets in Tonic in Blackrock the other week and apparently Colin Farrell was also there. He asked said mate not to sell anythin to the papers - dont know if he was only talking about the fact that he was even there or the size of his manhood...

I've seen him a good few times in dublin......doesn't he have a house here or something?

Tha Gopher · 17-05-2005 02:37PM

Lets see

John Bruton
Mary McAleese
Former German chancellor Helmut Kohl (he went flyin past in a Merc when i was on the bus once, recognised him when it showed him on tv that night at some EU conference in Dublin)
Daniel O`Donnell (quit laughin

)
Former daytime tv legend Derek Davis (in some hotel he was doin a promotion or whatever.i roared out "mam hes massive" upon sight of his big ass.)
Ray Darcy. Seemed like a nice guy
One of those tv chefs, Rankin or somethin, he was cookin in Dunnes in Blanch
The PM of Canada back in about 1994
I could swear I seen the beardy Attenborough brother standing outside those film studios in Wicklow, Ardmore or something
Ive seen Anne Doyle around town shoppin at least 3 times
Nearly certain I saw Joe Duffy from the top deck of a bus. He was at a wedding at a church, near that mosque around the Stillorgan/Clonskeagh area. If i knew he woulda done such a sh1te homecoming show for the irish squad in 2002 ida taken a shot at him
Saw someone who was the spit of Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royle). Very like him, but anytime ive seen him on tv not acting he is quite well dressed. This guy was dressed exactly like Jim.
Some blonde yoke from Fair City
The guy who does the weather on UTV
Think I seen the baldy slaphead from News 2 on the bus yonks ago.
The guy who played Father Stone in Fr Ted. My mother actually knew him years back from work (they worked in the same factory or something). Gave her a lift a few times, she said he was as quiet and had as little to say as his on screen character

Packie Bonner, talent scouting at a schools soccer match. He didnt even give the crowd a wave when they shouted at him, the prawn sandwich eatin prick.....
Heres a tenacious one, alot of people seem to have seen Paul McGrath whenever these threads appear every few months. Heres a tenacious link- I saw McGraths kids at some hotel about 8 years back. Reason I know it was them is because someone said they seen Paul about the place, and Ireland wasnt as multicultural back then of course.
We looked around but didnt see him, I dunno where he was at, we probably shoulda looked in the bar

So were not allowed to include seeing people at concerts.......well, I saw Robbie Williams tour bus, it cut right infront of us at McDonalds on the Navan Road. Roadhoggin git

Fcuk me my last two are stretching it.

Kingsize · 17-05-2005 03:10PM

morrissey & siobhain fahey - (on seperate occasions) in the welcome inn (parnell st) a few years ago siobhan fahey was drinking with 2 blokes one of whom was in my class in school?? never knew why - i think his dad was a session musician or something.
i used to work in a shop on grafton street years ago i came back from lunch one day & barry manilow was blocking the doorway to the stores area- i had to ask him to move he was wearing sunglasses (to avoid being spotted i think)& was quite tall,his hooter was unmistakable though.
I nearly killed bob geldof when i was cycling down dawson street one day too he just stepped out of a car & didnt look, i think i shouted something like " watch yer arse bob!" although that was about 15years ago..

Cianan2 · 17-05-2005 03:11PM

Lars Ulrich(Metallica drummer) drove past me and my mate as we were leaving their gig last summer. We left just before the crowd,so we could get a bus home and a few cars with tinted windows went by, followed by a sh1tty peugot with himself in the backseat coverin his head with a towel. He waved.

Last September in Zurich I was walking around the FIFA headquaters when a car passed and stopped about 10 metres ahead. Out pops Sept Blatter (FIFA president). He looks at me, I splutter "hello", him "hello" and smiles... I wander off in a daze.

BizzyC · 17-05-2005 03:46PM

I saw Chris Pontius aka Part-Boy! in a chipper in Blackrock, getting a veggie meal.
Saw Joe Dolan!!!!!!! in the mens room at croke park,

had lessons from Dave Hingerty, former frames man,
met Ronnie O Sullivan in Koo in bray,
saw Eamon Dunphy in the back of a taxi in temple bar
