    Buzz Aldrin. Seemed like a nice chap, in the opinion of an 8 year old girl.

    You didn't address her by her title and show 'nuff respect

    Off with your head!

    My dad had a piss beside Mel Gibson.

    I've had a chat with Ant and Dec before, they were eating in a pub, Ant was sitting on the left and Dec was sitting on the right.

    Bet Mel had a quick peek to see if your Dad was Jewish.

    Ardcroney on the Borrisokane Rd

    He's not from there but he's there often

    Often see him around Nenagh.

    Having a bite to eat in the Abbey Court, never a bit of bother from him

    He drinks in Philly Ryans in Silver Street
    I'm not sure if he's off the drink these days

    Martin sheen held the door open for me in the Nuig library one afternoon. He was walking around for ages trying to get a seat during study week when all seats were taken by 9am! One student got up and gave Martin his seat, Martin was very appreciative and was not going to accept only the guy insisted! Total gentleman as previous poster said.

    Is that being sound or being really, really stupid? Where did the student study then?

    Idol worship is a funny thing...

    If he wasn't Martin Sheen, I can pretty much guarantee nobody would have given up their seat. The library in NUIG around exam time is mental.

    I've met a good number - some repeatedly and have become friends.
    The nicest of all is Nathan Fillion - a sound, funny (without having to try) class great person.
