    Seen Craig David in town and seen Josh Homme + His missus in stephens green.

    Met Steve Coogan in Melbourne, checked Woody Harrelson and Beyonce Knowles in when I worked in Dublin airport!

    Fook the celebrity culture though. I only got starstruck with Coogan and Roy Keane because I respect them so much for what they have done!!! The others - meh

    All alone. Why do you ask?

    On topic: I sat near Dwight Yorke on a plane once, back in his prime when he played for Man U. I asked him what it was like to be worth more than the plane he was flying on. He never played well again. I can't help but feel guilty a bit.

    Also, my friend called Brendan O Connor a bollix to his face. No idea why.
