    Seems to be a fair few threads about arse*hole celebs but are there a few decent ones? Adam Clayton is a nice guy and Terry Phelan (ex-Irish soccer player) is an absolute gent. Anyone met any other sound celebs?

    Sorry if this thread has been done before.:o

    No, I just met them in situations where there was no need for them to be polite to me, and they were not only polite but sound. Especially Terry Phelan who bought me a pint even though I had accidentally weed on his foot in the gents at the urinal.

    Met these guys in person, really sound. Took time to talk to us without having to. They offered me beer aswell, I was 15.

    I'll second that. Knew him as a teenager, lovely guy, haven't seen him in a while though.

    I played golf in Dungarvan a few years ago, and Packie Bonner was in a group ahead of me. Met him in the bar afterwards and chatted briefly with him. An absolute gentleman. Very humble.

    My dad brought me into the jockey's room in Tramore a long time ago, and I got Ted Walsh's autograph. Ted was b*llock-naked. He said to me 'You don't see me like this on TV!'. Nutter :)

    Paul O Connell. Lions Captain. One of the nicest blokes you could possibly meet. Not a nasty bone in his body.

    Tom Araya from Slayer was also a top bloke !

    I met Ronnie Wood in a pub in Kildare not so long ago, he was faily sound.. I have a cool pic of me and him on my old mobile.. can't figure out how to download it onto the pc tho :( very friendly bloke anyway..

    Chatted to Paul O'Connell briefly in Eddie Rockets in Limerick. He was with his girlfriend. Chatted away no bother, very open guy, no heirs and graces. His cousins are my neighbours and they're salt of the earth so its not suprising he's a sound guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,364 ✭✭✭washiskin


    Bill Bailey - totally sound and down to earth.
    Neil Finn from Crowded House - total gent.
    Guy Pratt - Pink Floyds bass player - sound out and hysterically funny too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    I'm told Jay Kay can be a bit of a twat, but he was nice to me. Briefly encountered three of the lads from Arcade Fire and they were really lovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,009 ✭✭✭LimeFruitGum


    Richard Hammond, total sweetheart.

    Jimmy Magee - this was totally fadó fadó. But he was lovely too.
