Once asked the Aga Khan for his pass to the parade ring in Leopardstown (no idea who he was). He seemed a bit confused. One of his very nasty looking bodyguards found it amusing and informed me that his bosses horse had just won the race, here was his and all of their passes and keep up the good work!

Also met the Irish soccer team before the 2002 world cup. Most of them were up their own backsides with the exception of Harte, Kelly and McAteer who just seemed happy to shoot the breeze and take the piss out of Quinn who in fairness was doing photos with anyone who wanted them!
