    I've had the privilige (or just plain experience) of meeting a few:
    - Rody Molloy, a few days before he resigned - pretty sound chap!
    - Joe Perry - his bodyguards were d1ckheads!
    - Jack Osbourne is a tosser - didn't have the honour of meeting his bodyguards though!

    Private Ryan of Saving Private Ryan fame.

    Also, Buffy, Firefly/Serenity etc.

    No that was Matt Damon. Fillion played the wrong private Ryan. Great Great Movie.

    Don't you hate when you can't remember?! Tommy Tiernan, Hector (I didn't even notice I was serving him in a shop until he settled the argument I was having with my co-worker over a Fr Ted episode!), Billy from Fair City, Bertie.

    Then the more interesting ones, Ben Affleck in Cannes, Julianne Moore and SJP in Montauk. She was teeny tiny.

    I can't remember if I met anyone more famous, but I did shake hands with rob kearney in the harcourt diner on thrus night/fri morn.

    I'd love to meet Pat Kenny in there, I think throwing a kebab in his face would be the best 5 euro I would ever spend. Make that 10 euro if its colm and jim-jim.

    Ugh, Jim-Jim, what a name!
