Who is the most famous person who ever got you a drink

My ex was famous and he bought me many a drink and even dinner once or twice (what's the point if you can't boast about it after? )

I would hope that the point was to have a nice meaningful relationship with someone you love...not someone you can brag about having f'ked anytime they are on tv or whatever

Played golf and had a drink with Mike Costin (the Cos in Cosworth & Technical Director at Lotus during their F1 glory days of the early 60's) a motor sport legend.

Back in the day I had drinks with Noel & Mike from the Cranberries, David Gray & his nutty drummer Clune. I met the gay bloke from thin blue line in a pub in London once but we didn't exchange drinks (or any other fluids)

I was in a mates house and my ma rang me to say they were in the local drinking with 'some actor called will ferrell'. I was like yeah right just some yank taking the piss. She said he wants to talk to you so the guy comes on the phone and said hey its will! I went on a rant at the guy saying he was taking the piss out of my parents told him to f*** off and hung up.

Went in to meet my parents an hour later and they wer drinking with will ferrell, his dad and his brother. I apologised but he thought it was hilarious and we drank with them for the night!

Also was at a house party with the dirty sanchez guys. That was insane!

Bought Bob Dylan a drink in Waterford a few years back, Spoke to him for a few mins and he was genuinely a very nice person. I think I was the only person to have recognised him as everyone was leaving him alone. I heard later that he was refused entry to the disco (rubys or masons not sure)

I met Ronnie Drew in a bar in the late 90's and went up to him and said "Hey Ronnie Im a really big fan,any chance of an autograph" He told me to "**** off and come back and address me as Mr Drew, you dont know me so its Mr Drew" So I went away and came back a few mins later and said "Sorry Mr Drew is there any chance you might sign this for me?" He started laughing and said "my name is Ronnie whats yours" I ended up having a good few drinks that evening and it ended up in a sing song later in the night. Its a night I will never forget. Truely a legend.

Had a pint with Jackie Charlton many years ago, another sound dude.

Through my djing career I've met a few world class djs and had drinks with them,Tiesto,Judge Jules and Carl Cox but none of them would stand a patch on Bob or Ronnie.

Dunno if this counts as famous, but the monk bought me a drink once, cause he knew the guy I was sitting at the bar talking to.

Also JP McManus bought me a couple of drinks, well not just me the whole pub. He knew the owner and there was 10-15 of us in the pub, he bought a few rounds for the whole shop.

Liam Gallagher in Edinburgh about 5 years ago, still have his pint glass!

Alan Quinlan.
Owed a mate of mine a drink and the first time I saw him around to pay back the drink he was in a round with Alan Quinlan so I bought the two of them a drink and then left the bar.
One year to the day I bumped into Alan in a bar and he bought me a drink - remembered after all that time that I'd bought him a drink.
A really sound, down to earth guy!

Now that was smart :eek: :eek: :eek:

Lord Lucan, early in November 1974 as I recall.... bit on edge kept looking over his shoulder all night although..........

does anyone else think half of posts are complete bull****e?

Andy Carroll bought me a jagerbomb in Coppers last Christmas. He was there with Joey Barton and Chiek Tiote on Newcastle's Christmas Party. When I went to return the favour his bouncer drank it instead. Probably because the big man could barely stand up.

Had a beer with Kieren Fallon once.

Tried to give me a 'sneaky finger' too!
