    Yes, they do talk like that in real life :P

    So what other minor celebs/ actual ones have you come across in your place of work?

    My boss served Michael Fassbender about 2 weeks ago, heard he's lovely! :)

    Wish he'd ordered a fruit salad but he only had a stupid sandwich that I couldn't laugh at.

    Everybody's the same at the end of the day. No need for any 'airs and graces' if you're just doing your job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭smcelhinney


    Served?

    I hope it was a fcuking restraining order from the Internet, TV and radio..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Loads, most of them were arrogant gimps.

    Lots of the cast from Fair City were sound but I don't think I'd call them famous or celebs.

    OP they leave a tip?

    I didn't even let on I knew who they were. Didn't wanna give them the satisfaction - they annoy the hell out of me in general so I wasn't gonna be a hypocrite.

    I was talking to the lad Mickey Joe Hart beat to go to the Eurovision in a porta-cabin once.

    Nice guy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭Frynge


    I served pat short years ago and he made some crack about my hair, I asked him was he some kind of comedian.

    Found out later, yes, yes he was.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    It would be much better if you just served them with a double uppercut.

    Or a 25-hit Killer Instinct Combo with finishing move. Each.

    Or just served them in some sort of high school dance off.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭D1stant


    Everyone was hoping you meant that in a Boris Becker way OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭SunnyDub1


    was in café in the airport a couple of weeks ago when I hear this overly loud annoying voice , and stupid loud laugh. Turn around and there is Brian Dowling making his way into the café :rolleyes:

    He was only short of saying "I'm Brian dowling, look at me, look at me, look at me" :rolleyes:

    This made me laugh :pac:

    I wish I could've served them, but alas my stubby legs could not vault over the counter quick enough :(

    I gave them their milk teeth and off they went into the sunset... :o

    Really dislike him...

    Minor celebrities seem to be way worse with this than actual ones. It's mad, why would anyone WANT people to take notice of them?

    Probably thought it was the secret entrance to the lair of the lizard men.

    I've served The guy that plays Eoin McLove in Father Ted. How I kept a straight face while serving him I'll never know.He was a nice guy in fairness. One of the other guys I worked with served Rhys Ifans. He said he was really sound.

    Brian Kennedy, absolute knobjockey

    I served Richard Harris in a pub in London in 1990. He paid for a pint of guinness with a £50 note, probably cost only about £2.50, and told me to keep the change. What a man.

    Also served loads of other mainly b list celebrities who generally were cocks so I couldn't be arsed listing them.

    I served loads but I didn't get an impression of them. Didn't say much. Just got their stuff and left.
    I did serve one of the cheeky girls and she was lovely. Looked way better than she did on TV.
