Eamonn Andrews who used to front This Is Your Life bought me a Club Orange when I was about 10.

A friend of mine met Billy Connolly once in a pub but said he was the meanest cxxt he ever met - Connolly was as tight as a camels arsehole in a sandstorm and carefully avoided putting his hand in his pocket once.

Mine would be the Belfast comedian Jimeoin who has lived in Australia for years and years.

Jimeoin is not from Belfast, he was born in England and grew up near Derry.

Ex TD and Minister Jim McDaid gave me a tip and told me to get myself a drink.

That same night he drove the wrong way up the M7 and got in a bit of bother.

It was a free bar and my job was just to hand out pints to anyone who wanted..

I, in some ways, feel no responsibility whatsoever.

Chris Evans at a wedding... Actually it was a free bar, does it still count?

WooooOOOOOooo! What's your problem? My comment was a joke.

It was shortlived relationship and things ended a bit sourly. Rarely brag or even talk about it. This might be the second time in fact. Everyone whose met me since doesn't know.

Edit: You might have noticed I didn't mention his name...hardly boasting, is it?

Theres no point if you're not going to say who the person is.

No!
And you get severly reprimanded for 'hanging out' with such a ginger wankbag

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)

Worked in Sales & Marketing in a London 5 star back in the Eighties, got call to the office from Bob Dylan in a Sheperd's Bush Market Phone Booth informing me the doorman would not let him in (he was new!), now he and his entourage were in house, I knew that but was sceptical it was really him at the door......5 minutes on and I was shaking hands with Bob!!! Really nice guy and he was not a bit annoyed...said he got turned away all the time and that was just how he liked it. Flowers and champagne arrived in my offce with 4 tickets to the gig!!! Took 8 LA Rams to dinner (Langtons of Mayfair) & dancing (Annabelle's). Shook hands with Diana when she was still HRH, told Jane Asher I had no idea who she was (she asked Not :cool: !!)
Michael Jackson, John Thaw, Elton & Rod to name but a few but my absolute piece de resistance was dragging myself back to an Edinburgh Apartment at 1am after a long Christmas Dinner Dance, I was working, to find Jimmy Sommerville and the Communards playing at a party at our house!! I was better than a shot of adrenalin!!!

The money was ****e in hotels but I had a great time...the gigs, welcome cocktail parties, after show parties you name it I was there....... when I thought about it some more tho, my finest hour was, in fact, sending a drink back to the Mono-browed one around about the time his lady was Dressing in Red!!:cool::cool:
