Mine are really crap haha:-

I was brought into Stephen Gatelys (from Boyzone) house by his mother when I was about 14 for a cup of tea, we (friends and I) had just knocked on the door (down Seville Place in Dublin) hoping to see Gr. Gately himself! She made his little bother walk us back to the station coz she thought we'd get mugged!

My cousins husband owns/runs hotel in Germany. Tom Cruise & Family stayed there for three months recently when they were shooting some film (a film where Cruise had to march, apparently, as he was practicing the march in recption of hotel alot!) Him & his wife and baby were supposedly really nice to deal with. She was apparently, "really beautiful and tall" but my cousin said she was so scared she'd fall because of the extremely high heels she was always teetering on whilst holding the baby. Very glam. The hotel had to lay new carpets, curtains & furniture before Cruises arrival (at their request) and I think it was worth abotu 3m to the hotel. The wife (forget her name?) wasn't allowed to go anywhere alone.

I'm told I'm a far out relative of Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McGlynn - from father ted) Ah go on.....go on....etc

Had a session with some "celebrities" who were over here for a charity football match thing - they included mainly soap stars from the UK, can't remember all but mostly cornation street (ashley, tyrone....) and The Royles?, and some hospital program, some sexy asian/spaish/itlian? guy tried to hit on me, from that prog, forget his name though....

Had a few sessions with some DJs who are kinda famous in their field, but most of ye wouldn't have heard of...

Got Eric Cantonas Autograph...

OH and had a drink in that Kerry footballers pub years ago - forget his name, he is always on the panel on RTE GAA programs.

memory isn't what it used to be ...just remembered ...

CJ Haughey bought me a pint once ...well ...me and everybody else in Dick Mack's in Dingle at the time...

So did Jürgen Klinsmann ...just not in Dick Mack's, nor in Dingle

Mine's pretty lame. Worked on a fun fair when I as in school for the summer. Put Roy Keane and Denis Irwin through the gost train. They didn't seem too impressed!!

Was on the worst tv show of all time Gridlock (Replacement for Blackboard Jungle) I made a mistake and said bolloxs.

I was on bbj.

I used to work in a large concert venue in Dublin, now closed for being done up.

I met loads of famousers in there.

I pissed beside Ryan Giggs the night before Bex's wedding, Fatboy Slim was playing. I met Phil Neville and called him Gary.

I used to work with Brendan Kilkenny.

Gerry Ryan growled at me once when I held open the door for him at an off license in Clontarf while saying "howya Gerry". Horrible man.

I was at Eamonn Andrews Funeral.

Sir Oxman

I held a bus at a stop on College Green for Nina Persson from The Cardigans - I got a sexy smile and a thank you for that ;-)

Also spotted Blondie walking down Church Street just outside St Michins, gave her a 'howaya' and got a 'good day' and a smile back -

I feel really cheesy now...

Remembered another one. I used to work in a large electrical retailers.

One Sunday, at five past six, we closed at six, I wouldn't let some bint in to make a purchase. I got the "do you know who I am" thing.

Apparently it was Samantha Mumba.

I met Daniel O'Donnell outside Croke Park before the Donegal-Dublin All Ireland Final in 1992, I was 8 at the time and well impressed.
I also met Denis Irwin on a bus at Manchester Airport, met Colm O'Rourke during half time in some match in Croke Park, met Lisbon Lions Tommy Gemmill and Billy McNeill in Dublin last year, and I did a debating course with Rose Dugdale (she was an wealthy English titled aristocrat who joined the Provisional IRA and took part in the raid of Russborough House and the first helicopter bombing in British history) a few years ago.

AlmightyCushion

I was working in Tesco a few years ago and some guy came in that looked exactly like Chris Pontius (the guy from jack ass). I walked by him and said "Jaysus man, you're the spit of Chris Pontius". I found out later that day that it actually was him.

ScumLord

The brother of one of the lads I went to school with was the knitting champion of Ireland and even knitted on a weekend kids tv show on rte 2 (scratch Saturday?). Another friend of mine was on that computer games tv show that was on years ago. He did really badly at sonic.

Doctor DooM

I sold Gerry Adams a shirt a long time ago.

He has a really skinny neck, and much to my amusement he paid in English pounds!

I sold Rodrigo Y Gabriella their mobile phones. She is insanely hot. They have immense roaming charges, as I recall.

I also had a discussion with Des Bishop about people giving him prank calls on his mobile.

I'd be fired now if I still worked there

Doctor DooM

OOOOh, we gave Victoria Smurfit a loan of a charger as well. Total MILF.

I once got scolded by my boss when I worked in Sp*ctra Photo because I held Keith Duffy's £20 up to the light to see was it fake

Are you sure it wasn't northern pounds each country has it's own version and northern pounds are useless in the rest of the kingdom. You shouldn't have accepted them.

I once checked out Martin King's grocery shopping.

I served him several times in the Spar I used to work in. Nice chap. He always used to buy birthday cards.

Also, that guy who was in batchelors walk came in a few times. Ya know, the big guy. I don't know his name.

I once got presented some Irish award (when I was in primary school and actually understood the bloody language) by Miley from Glenroe. The show was still going then. He sat in the bar smoking and drinking all evening and was plastered by the end of it.

During the run up to the last election I nearly ran over Mary Harney. She was canvassing and she stopped outside my driveway to talk to somebody. I wasn't really looking as I backed my car out and she had to jump out of the way.

YOur very lucky, she would've left a huge dent in your car.

Worst claim to lame story. I refused to comp a drink for Daniel O'Donnell's sister (Margo, seemingly she sings too). She actually used the line 'don't you know who i am'.

Margo's his mother, if you believe half the scurrilous rumours you hear

If I had dumped my exgirlfriend better I coud have Emma Watson's bebo and phone number and sell them on Ebay.

On a side note, at the party my ex was at, a guy snuck into Emma Watson's room, stole one of her thongs and sold it on Ebay. She found out too.
Genius.

That is some fantastic entrepreneurship! Although that someone bought it is shameful indeed.

Yeah, my ex went with the guy too, I lolled when she told me that as she was ashamed to have gone out with him. But fair play to him. He showed a good sense of business.

Imagine being Emma Watson and finding out the a guy you knew did that. And that someone bought it on Ebay, and is probably prancing around in it. Or doing other stuff to it.

steveland?

I served Colm Meany in the pub.

Really nice guy

I'd get some very minor celebrities in to legal issues if I fully detailed some of what I've seen (and the guards or the office of tobacco control gave a ****e). But I've shaken hands with and talked to most of the top half of the DJ Mag 100 listing.

I was at a charity table quiz years ago where every team had a "celebrity" at their table. We were told that our's was Colm O'Rourke, who was apparently at the height of his powers at that time. Didn't impress me though because I had to ask who he was. And for a teacher (which I discovered later) I have to say he was feckin' useless.
