    This made me laugh out loud haha...

    My brother met Niall Quinn while he was working in Dublin airport...He told him i was a football fan and he gave my brother his sunglasses to give to me:D

    Also Elton John gave him an autograph for my Da!

    He has had pints with Damien Dempsey and Christy Dignam and they are really really sound! Damien Dempsey had great things to say about Bono too.

    As for me the closest thing ive got to seeing a celeb was martin king walking past me on grafton:(

    Gary Neville never gives autogrpahs after matches, príck:mad:

    LOL, I really thought I'd be the only one to say ROG, but obviously I'm not alone. But he can be alright at times.

    Fabien Barthez- A right prick. Outside old trafford as they walk in the squad would stop and sign a few programs. He stood there with two girls and looked at the crowd for about 5 mins then went inside. A right prick.
    Although on the same day David May spent AGES signing autographs. He signed every single one and there was a fair crowd there. Not exactly famous but everyone really appreciated him taking the time. Most players signed 5/6.

    His not signing autographs does not make him a prick, no matter how many autographs David May signed.

    Samantha Mumba, was in Barcode a few years ago (As she'd regularly be) and my female friend noticed her (she was wearing a baseball cap so as "not" to be noticed) but didnt recognise her at once, thought she was "maybe someone i was in school with or something". So my friend went over and said "We know each other don't we? I can't quite put my finger on it". At this point she jestured toward her "security" who ushered my friend away from Miss Mumba. Ridiculous!

    Later that night one of her "security" guys came over to where we were sitting (in one of the booth type things) and said "Miss Mumba and her party would like to sit here, could you please move somewhere else?". HAHAHAHA! That more than made up for the fact she was rude in the first place.

    I too was at the Bernard Dunne fight and also met Gerry. he told me that he's been approached by what he described as an ageing hippy with long greasy hair and spots who claimed to be someone from boards. So taken aback was Gerry and his friends by the smell of BO that he had to turn away to prevent himself and his friends all vomiting from the pungent aroma.

    Thats a wonder, because he does be allways banging on about how he is great friends with that crowd on the radio, even claims that he's show is the number one radio show listened to by them, but hey...thats just probably him bullsh!ting again as usual.

    Do you have a day job at all Cunsiderdis because it seems all you do be doing is browseing the whole the boards looking for anyone that happens to think that the sun does'nt shine out of Gerrys hole & then have a crack at them.

    Ye'd get on mighty id say, if ye dont allready that is....

    Well now you know once food goes down Gerry's cavernous maw he'd be very loathe to bring it back up again..his weight might slip under the 25 stone mark and none of his cheap suits would fit him anymore.

    I hope you didn't move for the bitch! Same thing happened to us years ago in Tamangoes (don't judge me!), she wanted to sit where we were sitting, we told her and her "people" to fcuk off. Where is she now, nowhere!

    Rudest Celeb (if you can call her that) Kathleen Watkins (Gay Byrnes Wife)

    By far the nicest celeb or person I ever met was the late Paul Newman, a perfect gentleman and so down to earth.

    But why would he stand there when everyone else was signing autographs and stare with an arrogant look on his face? Keane didn't sign any either but he just waved and went straight inside.......

    So the guy deserves to be called a prick for not signing an autograph?

    Did he refuse after you or anyone asked?

    Funnily enough I heard a similar story from Billy Connolly about a guy who came up to him in a Dublin pub and said the very same thing to him. In typical forthright language, Billy said the guy was a "squirty little prick who thought he was funny", but, as Billy said, he was just rude and very pleased with himself. So Billy bought him a drink as the easiest way to avoid having to have a conversation with this guy, and get away from him.

    I'd love to know what qualifies someone as a celebrity. naturally, i have subscriptions to VIP, Hello! and OK!, and read them all avidly, and can't work out what makes someone a celebrity, or what the definition of celebrity is.

    These days the term "celebrity" has changed.
    You could have comedian Billy Connolly, Musician David Bowie and celebrity Jade Goody...it seems to be an occupation in itself.

    I can understand people such as Billy Connolly or David Bowie being celebrities, insofar as they have reached the height in their chosen field, and as a consequence have become widely known for their talent pretty much worldwide.

    Jade Goody...I have no idea who she is or what it was she excelled at. having done a google search, it seems neither have they! After appearing in Big brother, Jade was voted by the public as the fourth worst Briton in the British TV station Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons.

    Apart from that, Wikiepedia seems to be at a loss to know what she achieved. And so she appears to be famous for, erm, being a litttle bit famous.

    Exactly, but if you introduced bowie or connolly as a celebrity they would probably be offended as the term is almost exclusively reserved for no talent, fame hungry wannabies nowadays.

    I'm sorry, but as much as i agree with you that people like Jade Goody aren't actually celebrities, there's NO WAY you don't/didn't know who Jade Goody is.

    I know you have internet access, so there's no way you life entirely under a rock!
