Claim to lame

Slutmonkey57b

Lamest claim to fame:

I know Regi and Devore from "before" boards.

From my days in a famous hotel in Dublin:

Let Bono in for after hours drinks, he said "Guggi will be round later, will you show him in?" I said "Certainly Sir". Hadn't a ****ing clue who guggi was. All the U2 crowd were well liked there though, nice genuine people.

Let Colin Farrell in for after hours drinks, then slacked off in the restaurant for the rest of the night with my porters. He stuck his head round the door looking for cigarettes. Nice bloke.

Let one of my lads have the night off so he could do a concert with Sinead O'Conner, then he brought her back to the hotel. Nice lady. Unfortunatly they sang Irish ballads in the lounge which was a sacking offence.

One of my lads was threatened by a drunk SF counciller (a serious, proper "SF can have you killed" threat too). He grinned at her and told her he worked with one of their TD's during the election. She went white and shut up quick.

Dealt with hundreds of office workers at all hours of the night. All self-important total **** with a massive superiority complex. Pathetic sad wastrels the lot of them.

Saw Ronan Keating walking through the airport one day. He was trying to keep a low profile with shades and a cap on, that was until he walked into a woman and knocked a whole load of stuff out of her hands. Few seconds later he was surrounded by people:D

Also saw Steve Staunton recently.

Bleh! See him all the time, always have to give a second glance, saw him walking with his wife one time, thought it was a 14yr old with his mother walking the dog! But no no, hes just small!

Forgot about Ronan Keating - played a doubles pool game against him and one of his mates in Renards. He didn't take kindly to losing (nothing to do with me, I'm crap, but my playing partner is sh*t hot).

Brendan gleeson's brother was my maths teacher in secondary.(heard he gave up teaching to act as well , Haven't seen him in anything though.)

Got Stephen Roches autograph in the airport one day.

Danny glover got into the cab i got out of in new york one day.

Went to the same school as brian McFadden (a year behind), started a band with some friends and we practised in the school and all the aul ones on the parents commitee were real excited as westlife were just starting out(including his ma') kept comin' in to us practising and would say are you gona be the next westlife lads. :mad: god no!

Nearly ran over Dana in Galway one day. She's not the safest at crossing roads.

Had 2 pints with Des Bishop (he wasn't drinking though but his mate was). I bought him a diet coke and his mate a pint and he got me a round back. Sound guy.

My ex-gf scored Gordon D'Arcy (or he scored her, dunno which) in Krystle while we were on a break. I don't like him.

Scored an ex of Luke Wilson's in a Vegas nightclub. She said she was his ex so it must be true!! She certainly was hot enough to have been anyways.

Sat beside JP Mcmanus watching Clare/Limerick game a year ago during Summer in a London bar. He was drinking sparkling water and bought his daughter and friends a bottle of champers if I recall correctly. Quiet fella.

Told Jason Byrne he wasn't funny. Told Dave Mcsavage he was a legend. He was a **** though.

Bumped into a couple of z-list celebs in bars, Daithí Ó Sé, Paraic Breathnach, Pat Shortt, Niall Quinn, etc. Nothing major.

I have a few more but I can't think right now...

arybvtcw0eolkf

I snogged Buffy (for real ) in both Fitzsimons (Templebar) and the V.I.P. area of 'The Kitchen' (Old nightclub in Templebar).

Nightwish

I served some guy from Fair City in the shop I worked in. I was also on the RTE broadcast for the 1996 telethon, so I met Blathnaid ni Chofaigh and some other z-listers.

irlirishkev

I chased Liam Gallagher down Francis street some years back, after Oasis' first Irish gig (in the Tivoli).. I was chasing him because he was signing my copy of Definitely Maybe while legging it away from a bunch of screaming girls..

Ah the old Tivoli gigs.. those were the days!

I had a pint with him once too, someone asked him for an autograph which he agreed to but forgot what he was doing in the middle of it, and just stared at this lad standing beside him waiting for his scarf back

As for me, i've met the actual Tayto man when I was young, we beat the **** out of the ****er (he was wearing a big suit though so it's ok)

I wonder if there's any "famous" people that use Boards.ie without us knowing ...

Met Jack Charlton at the opening of the local Opel garage, the ole fella pushed us out in front of him and we ended up gettin a photo of me and my brother sitting on his lap. Was about 10 at the time.

Met Daniel O'Donnell in Giants Stadium in NY when Ireland played Norway, picture still hangs in the kitchen....:D

When going home from manchester met David Beckham and Eric Cantona in the airport.

Pigletlover

I stayed in the same hotel as Steve Davis, he was in the lobby when we were checking out, I wanted to get a photo with him but I couldn't pluck up the courage to ask him

I seen Brian Kennedy before, I think Ronan Keating could have been there too.

Don't know if this counts but when I was in New York Nicole Richie was signing books in Virgin Megastore, I didn't queue up or anything but I seen her and she really is TINY. When I was in Macy's they kept announcing that Ashanti was on x floor but I didn't bother going for a look at her.

Oh and I served John Leahy in Dunnes once...

Pighead

Met Suede in Belfast and took part in a quiz against the band for some N. Ireland music programme.

Sang a line from Getting Better at a Shed 7 gig in Whelans a few years back.

Spilt a pint over Jimmy Corkhills onscreen druggy son from Brookside in Bruxelles and DIDN'T apologise. Pighead doesn't do Starstruck.:cool:

spadder

I was kissed on the cheek by Kylie Minogue. when she was on the Pat Ruane presented Saturday morning TV show Scratch Saturday. She was a secret guest (except we were told who it was going to be during the break), then I saw her in reception and she kissed me and several other on the cheek. I think I was about 9 at the time.

Met Bertie several times, once got a kiss off him,

Used to work in a dublin Pub where I got the pleasure of Meeting(serving) Colm Meany, Brian McFadden and Gerry Ryan. Once spilled a pot of Tea over Ollie Byrne the Chairman of Shelbourne in that Job!!

David O'Leary grew up around the corner from Me, I played football with him once. James Murphy substitute Ireland goal keeper grew up on that same road, Keith Duffy from Boyzone actually married his wife who is also from that same estate, Ronan Keatings ex girlfriend, (WHo shamefully did a kiss and tell on him) also lived in that same estate. And a lad out of that same estate is the father of mylene klass's baby ( he is actually keith duffys brother in law.)



Was in the vip in wrights of swords with the Irish football team My mate went home with Shay given, (The dirty fecker).

Saw Eamon Dunphy, Mariah Carey, All the IRish Rugby Team and Liam Neeson in Dublin Airport.

Was having dinner in the coolquay and Samantha Mumba happened to be there.

Was in Lillys while westlife was there. It was a time when Mark was in the closet and Louis had set him up with a girl for the night to keep his secret secret.

Drank out of the Sam!!

Met charles haughey, He was very small and frail.

I can not think of any more sad meetings....

"almost"...unlucky that.

Getting a flight out of Frankfurt and we were delayed for ages on the bus out to the plane. Eventually some tosser turned up whom I later found out was one of the guys that left Westlife, no idea which one or what his name is. He did have a cute chick with him. Can't believe they delayed the flight because of him, anyone else and it would have left! Feckin missed our slot as well so we were very late getting into Dublin.

Brendan Kilkenny once walked past me, dressed up in his usual garb. He dropped a tenner but I was too scared to tell him in case he would then become my friend.

My ultimate claime to lame is that I was on School Around the Corner.

If the man spent more time ruling Iraq and less time firing guns into the air while llaughing and messing around on boards, maybe he'd still be president of Iraq.

Which one?


A friend of my brother's worked in a classy Dublin nightclub and saw Michael Jordan, she said
Her-"wow,your so tall, you must play basketball"
MJ-"Yeah, sometimes"

She found out afterwards who he was and almost died of embaressment.
