Drank a pint with Fabien Barthez. He smoked one of my Carroll's. He seemed to enjoy it. Limited English.

I am somehow related to Liam Neeson (I may find out what relation--2nd cousin or something)

I was once on TX-Like The Den, but on Saturday mornings instead.

That's about it really.

My girlfriend was a child actor for HSBC ads in Hong Kong in the early 90s...thats a bit cooler than mine!

safe as houses, he was. He did however raise his arm looking for service and the barman just continued to work.

Beat that Bítches!

I went on the London eye with two of the girls (Jessica and Michelle I think they were called) from Liberty X, back when they were famous.

Shame I was too young to realise how lucky I was

Jesus, they were fit

I've played with a bloke called Sean Cannon, a member of the Dubliners, a few times. Being a huuuuuuge Dubliners fan, every one of those times was just amazing.

My Best:
My picture was in the indo last year once a week for approximately 6 weeks.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Batt" O'Keeffe in person.

My worst:
Being in the same class (5th Year) as Jedward

massdebater · 07-01-2011 01:35PM

I shifted (as it was called back in the day!) Nadine Coyle when I was about 15 in the Oasis Niteclub in Co. Monaghan. She was a year or so older than me at the time I think

summerskin · 07-01-2011 01:42PM

Dangerous Man · 07-01-2011 01:44PM

Best... dunno - I recently met Dick Valentine from Electric Six, which was great - my favourite band ever, probably.

Worst - shaking hands with Bertie Ahern. Or maybe standing beside Ronan O'Gara while he urinated on a public street in Tenerife. Classy.
