So... I just served Jedward...

SparkySpitfire

Yes, they do talk like that in real life :P

So what other minor celebs/ actual ones have you come across in your place of work?

My boss served Michael Fassbender about 2 weeks ago, heard he's lovely!

OneArt

Shirley Temple Bar.

Wish he'd ordered a fruit salad but he only had a stupid sandwich that I couldn't laugh at.

Drakares

It's okay folks, I'll take this one.

No one cares.

maximoose

How long have you worked in female hormone therapy?

Fukuyama

Served Louis Walsh.

Nice guy.

Hair is thinning - cant tell on TV. Quite short too.

Cool Maserati as well. Engine like a fcuking tiger.

.Henry Sellers.

Served....ye durty fecker.

P_1

Everybody's the same at the end of the day. No need for any 'airs and graces' if you're just doing your job.

smcelhinney

Served?

I hope it was a fcuking restraining order from the Internet, TV and radio..

BillyMitchel

Loads, most of them were arrogant gimps.

Lots of the cast from Fair City were sound but I don't think I'd call them famous or celebs.

OP they leave a tip?

I didn't even let on I knew who they were. Didn't wanna give them the satisfaction - they annoy the hell out of me in general so I wasn't gonna be a hypocrite.

13spanner

I was talking to the lad Mickey Joe Hart beat to go to the Eurovision in a porta-cabin once.

Nice guy.

I was hoping he served them their own heads on a plate

L.Jenkins

You served them! I hope you threw in a bag of Prozac for good measure.

admiralofthefleet

when i worked in bewleys i met loads, mostly cast members from father ted

ardal o hanlon - sound if a little wired

the priest that played dick byrne - very rude

the priest that spoke like a monkey - sound

pat shortt - sound

sinead o connor - national c*nt

michael mc elhatton - extremely nice bloke

ive met loads more most of them have been sound

Frynge

I served pat short years ago and he made some crack about my hair, I asked him was he some kind of comedian.

Found out later, yes, yes he was.

Boom_Bap

It would be much better if you just served them with a double uppercut.

Or a 25-hit Killer Instinct Combo with finishing move. Each.

Or just served them in some sort of high school dance off.

GoldCobra

served?

D1stant

Everyone was hoping you meant that in a Boris Becker way OP

SunnyDub1

was in café in the airport a couple of weeks ago when I hear this overly loud annoying voice , and stupid loud laugh. Turn around and there is Brian Dowling making his way into the café :rolleyes:

He was only short of saying "I'm Brian dowling, look at me, look at me, look at me" :rolleyes:

This made me laugh :pac:

I wish I could've served them, but alas my stubby legs could not vault over the counter quick enough

I gave them their milk teeth and off they went into the sunset...

Really dislike him...

Minor celebrities seem to be way worse with this than actual ones. It's mad, why would anyone WANT people to take notice of them?

xzanti

Jim Corr came into my office one day.. he tried to walk into a press thinking it led to another room

ashers222

couple of local GAA all stars and few national athletic champs and horsey jockey people who I wouldn't really know

Probably thought it was the secret entrance to the lair of the lizard men.

Clondalphian

I've served The guy that plays Eoin McLove in Father Ted. How I kept a straight face while serving him I'll never know.He was a nice guy in fairness. One of the other guys I worked with served Rhys Ifans. He said he was really sound.

Lapin

So ?

Hold on there. A man in his 50s is a bit thin on top???
O my golly gosh!

Amirani

Michael Martin, Colm Meaney, Bertie Ahern, Dermot O'Leary, Pat Fenlon.

krudler

Brian Kennedy, absolute knobjockey

Pudders

I served Richard Harris in a pub in London in 1990. He paid for a pint of guinness with a £50 note, probably cost only about £2.50, and told me to keep the change. What a man.

Also served loads of other mainly b list celebrities who generally were cocks so I couldn't be arsed listing them.

Jet Black

I served loads but I didn't get an impression of them. Didn't say much. Just got their stuff and left.
I did serve one of the cheeky girls and she was lovely. Looked way better than she did on TV.

Jimmy White (arsehole)

Buzz Aldrin (sound out and a good laugh)

Wendy James (hmmmmmm)

Michael Hutchence (off his face at the time)

Micheal Cane (brilliant laugh)

pickarooney

I was hoping it was a subpoena rather than a sub sandwich.

Jarrod

I sold Ronnie Delaney a lotto ticket once.

MadsL

A waitress in a Prague Irish pub I worked in slammed the door in the face of an American couple as "Sorry, we are closed", manager looks up, goes "Holy ****" runs over, opens the door and says "Good Evening Mr Cruise, Ms Kidman, so sorry about that, do come in".

They were in town filming Mission Impossible, held the wrap party in the pub and left a tip of......















.......nothing. :mad:

greenbicycle

Have met/served/talked to lots of minor celebs, again not all really worth listing

Some notable points however:

Sinead O'Connor is even smaller and scruffier in real life than you would think
Kathryn lynch is very arrogant when she doesnt get what she wants
Cian from westlife is really small
BrendanO'Connor is skinner in real life and he is as rude as one would expect
Ryan Tubridy loves haribo jellies
Ray D'Arcy is a lovely man

hollster2

Brain mc FaTTen when I was into westlife total pig

Louie Walsh he was sound seen him at a westlife concert with Daniel o Donnell lol

Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson came into my local pub couple of years ago they were all lovely!!

Ryan Tubirty in a chipper he was nice

Wattle

What's the best way to serve celebrities? Deep fried? Sauteed? Roasted on a spit? With chips or side salad?

Kerry King, Corey Taylor, The Corminator hahaha, most of the munster team when they were langers drunk, Rob Kearney who was taking the piss out of me for wearing a Munster jersey to an Ireland match in Thomond park. They were all fairly sound! Except Jean De Villiers was avoiding people a lot (wouldn't blame him tbh.)

admiralofthefleet

padraig harrington in harolds cross a few years ago, he was a twat

brian cowen in 2004, was very nice

not really a celeb but saw a supposed model who's daddy sung about a woman in red in a pub a while ago. made it my business to turn my chair to her so i was facing away

HowAreWe

I'm friends with their first cousin.

He ****ing hates them. Says they act like that at family meals etc.

Martyn1989

One of RTEs newsreaders or weathermen or whatever he is, don't know his name, don't want to.

Danny Dyer in a hotel I was working in Wales, the fact that he's famous didn't stop the fat pig of a manager stealing a few chips before his plate went out. No different from any other customer.

The Trailer Park Boys in the bar I'm currently working in Calgary. Seemed decent enough, then the drink got to them, then the coke got to them, then they went a little weird. Tried to bring all the waitresses to their hotel but none of them would have it. Didn't leave a decent tip considering the amount of free stuff they got.

were you calling in the jury when you saw him?

XxMCRxBabyxX

Daniel Day Lewis. He was a regular in a cafe that I worked in. Incredibly nice and you'd barely recognise him or know that he was famous. Just so down to earth.
Was fairly cool holding his credit card too. Imagine the money on that! :-D
