    I spoke to Jon Stewart for about 30 seconds before a recording of the Daily Show. Met Flight of the Conchords before they were famous and went for a beer with them. Other than that I have met a few Irish celebrities (Ardal O'Hanlon, Dylan Moran, Dara O'Briain being the only ones who are famous outside of Ireland).

    I was at the bottom of Grafton street ages ago waiting in line for a pay phone. The guy infront of me was taking forever. After about 10 minutes of waiting I tapped the guy on the shoulder. He turned around and tippped his hat like this...and you'll never guess who it was.
