    Most of the cast of Buffy and Angel, cast of Firefly/Serenity, some of the cast of Star Trek, Robert Patrick, Armin Shimmerman, Veronica Guerin (RIP), Spice Girls (one still stands out as being a poppus twat), politicans (American and European), Karl Cox, Pete Tong, Boy George, ABC, Meatloaf are a few.
    (Along the way I've met too many cowboy Irish politicians.)

    They're the ones I can name.

    Met a fair few and best of the whole lot is a chappie called "Nathan Fillion", American actor and one really down to earth, naturally very funny guy.

    Barack Obama. But that isn't very special considering how many people must have met him while he was campaigning.

    was sitting behind ken doherty on a ryanair flight to malta in february and wales manager john toshack and kevin moran on ryanair flight from manchester a year before that (yes even famous people fly ryanair ;))

    When I worked in London in my hospital job, I met a football legend but I can't give his name as it would be a breach of confidentiality. But I had absolutely no knowledge or interest in footie I didn't know who he was!
    I went to school with Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh, does that count?

    Who? Whoever he is he can't be as famous as Kevin Hough from the Lyrics Board. I played bowling with him. He was crap and cost me money and spot prizes.

    Ive sent another member here I trust, proof. Hopefully they can will vouch for me.

    I've asked them for confidentiality as regards my i.d. but they will be able to say yes or no, if I am telling the truth.
