Turd Ferguson

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.
None other than Emilio Estavez!! The Mighty Duck man himself.
I was all like "Emilio!!!!!" I swear to God, it was awesome.

That sounds like the opening to a joke.

Outside Old Trafford one particular afternoon on an autograph hunt. Waiting outside near the high powered cars with all of the other fans.
No takers that particular day so a bunch of the fans turned away into the february manchester air. As about 8 of us were walking out through the stadium a lonely figure cut a slow pace coming against us. I had to double talk because of a flash of recognition.
It was David May.
To a man, all the fans kept eyes forward and kept walking.

Another time I was on a flight from the UK to Ireland after a god awful 11 hour flight. I woke up about half way through as this guy brushed past me. I turned to the girl next to me and said "Was that Enrique Iglesias?"
"No!" She said. "It was Colin Farrell ya fool!"

Bitch.

Ann22

The Corrs, lived near them, was pals with Sharon when i was a child.
Pat Kenny, used to not really like him as a presenter but met him at the Late Late in August, very nice to the audience, chatted and had a laugh, lovely man imo.
Jimmy Carr at the same Late Late.
Stephen Staunton, talked sh*te in his ear in a club one night-shame!:o
Gary Kelly, shared a cocktail sausage with him.:oNot at the same time I hasten to add, he gave me one he'd bitten the ends of. Ate it so I could tell people I did.
Phil Babb.
Waved at Jack Charlton, didn't actually meet him, don't know if it counts.

anonymous_joe

Hmmm, don't if it counts actually, but a mate made a tít of himself in front of Gabriel Byrne. I was there to watch and laugh. Good days.
