Kim and Kelley Deal after a Breeders gig in the Ambassador about 9 years ago.

Met some of the lads from Jackass about 9 years ago at a party in Spirit on Abbey St.

Sharon ni Bheolain was a teacher in my secondary school but she only taught my class once. Not a nice lady IMO.

Haven't met anyone remotely well known in a decade.

Sharon ni Bheolain can discipline me any time she wants!!:pac:

My Chemical Romance.
Nice guys.

I know they came out to the front of the ambassador in 05 to fans after the gig and chatted to everyone, I've heard some accounts of them being a little more rushed or disconnected at bigger venues did you just meet in passing kind of thing or end up getting sloshed with them kind of run in? :P

I knew Noel Dempsey when he was a career guidance counsellor in Trim - a complete pr1ck. Met him again when he was a minister (environment, I think) - still a complete pr1ck.

I've met one of my heroines on more than one occassion - Lydia Foy. Eccentric as be damned, great fun at a party, and very very intelligent.

KamiKazeKitten

Ardall O'Hanlon - not a nice guy, quite standoffish and cold. Although it probably didn't help that people started singing my lovely horse to him...

UglyBolloxFace

Met and got a photo with Beram Kayal. The guy is a gent.

LisaLee

Met Ronnie Drew a few years ago, he was an absolute gentleman. Both himself and his wife were very pleasant to chat to, really down to earth.

Duke Special was lovely too, very quiet and mild mannered.

Was queing for their london date last october..heard they were going to have an interview on bbc..so headed over to the studio :P Turns out they were an hour late for their slot but they came out after and signed and stuff (even though they were in a rush to get to the venue + soundcheck)

Pre-concert meet+greet for their show at the o2....:pac:

But they did come out on most of the dates for that tour afterwards (except dublin/glasgow cos they were sick) and only heard good things about meeting them after..their security is very efficient.

Packie Bonner - meh :pac:

One of the most interesting I met was Shane McGowan in the pub lashing back the drink at lunchtime! Mad man!

Jonah42

Don't know how true it is but it gave me a laugh.

This guy works at a shop near Chelsea's training ground. John Terry entered the store one day and placed a big delivery asking if he could get it delivered to his home. The guy said sure and asked him for his name and address.

He got the expected 'do you know who I am' talk, so the guy played dumb for a while before saying "awwww yeah, your the bloke that missed that penalty in the champions league final!"

The House Of Wolves

I don't know if you'd call him a celebrity but I walked headfirst into yer man from the Irish Independent restaurant reviews on the ferry to France.
I also met Mickey Joe Hart and Mary McAleese was beside me when I was having a coffee and she said hello to me and smiled a lot. I dunno.

LaVail

Met Tom Watson and had the pleasure of caddying for him, very nice guy and really down to earth.

Also caddied for Ben Dunne (If he can be classed as famous?)
He's a really nice guy too...Going down the first fairway I pulled out a box of smokes and asked him if he wanted one to which he replied "Jazus no. I have no dirty habits like that" with a massive grin on his face, he was caught with coke a year before hand lol

Met Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan too but they were very up themselves and didn't want to speak to the common folk you know.

I shared a minor poker tournament in Dublin with three others. It was about 4 a.m. so we decided to do a deal. One of the four was Mimi Rogers, actress, and first wife of Tom Cruise. She appeared in Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery as the mother of the female lead, and about 40 other films. Mimi had very cold hands. We shook hands on the deal.

One of the others was Bruce Atkinson, an Elvis impersonator, nickname "Senior Elvis". Bruce is a nice guy.

The real question is has anyone famous met me. Ehh no, met a few B Listers, I could have got to know one of the B Listers intimately but I declined.

I did meet a guy whom I had that type of conversation "I know you from somewhere" he played along winding me up, then after about 10 minutes he said I am Damien Duff, then I felt like an idiot.

Dara Quilty famous? Hmmmm

Met Amy Winehouse in a bar in Camden 18 months ago.

It was surreal. She came into the Dublin Castle on a Sunday Night where we were after being at the Carling Cup final and she went in behind the bar and served away as if she worked there.

She was sober as a judge and the manager told us she did it on a regular basis.

She was honestly so nice and friendly.

Really feel sorry for the way her life turned out after meeting her.

Hope I never meet ya so.
