Louis Walsh gave me what can only be traumatically described as a flirtatious eye while walking past me in town one Christmas.

I have never met a celebrity. I would be too shy to speak to them.

I saw Ralph Fiennes walking outside trinity once. He looked at me and smiled and I walked away. I was with a guy friend and he said we should get his autograph it just made me walk faster.

True story. Yeaaaaah....

I don't really hang out at the types of places that would be frequented by them.


If I ever see Kate Bush though I will worship her silently on my knees from afar. I'll sweep the floor before her a few yards off so as not to disturb her.

I love that goddess. If female to female conception was possible I would have her babies. But I would never tell her because obviously this is a weird love and it might upset her. That's how much I love her.

I love Kate Bush.

My niece is good friends with Lila Grace Moss and my brother's family were basically vetted by her mother Kate to make sure their house is a safe place for Lila to come to for "play dates".

My brother will not allow the play dates to be reciprocal.

Michael Kinane, Johnny Murtagh, Sadler's Wells, Grand Lodge, Vincent O'Brien.
<--- Diomed was the first winner of the English Derby in 1780.
I like betting.

My brother went on the piss with some of the lads from the Chinese Democracy version of Guns N Roses

Edit: I also met Bill Clinton

Sean Bean was too old to play a 35 year old character....

I was in London in 2009, and we were walking down the street and Damian Lewis with a friend came out of a door, and a bunch of paparazzi came over to them. About 10 seconds later britney spears came out of another door further down (on the same street. All the paparazzi came over to her instead, and Damian Lewis says to us (well to the street in general) '**** OFF THE LOT OF YOU'

Edit - ronan keating lives in my estate, I see around all the time. He's a nob.

I've met all three of them.

Met Brendan O' Carroll, I think he was doing something for that Who Do You Think You Are programme at the time. A gentleman, very unassuming and friendly.

Was on a moving stairs with two of Spandau Ballet back in the 80's. They were being followed by a posse of young ones. Yer man I was with said to one of them "Do ye get this everywhere?" to which yer man replied "Not in Zimbabwe we don't".

Had a sing off with Brian may in a hotel bar in South Africa years ago, he was actually very impressed with my singing voice :cool:

And met Graham Norton in a pub, went on to have a few bottles with him and his entourage because I was irish and on my own, he took pity on me :pac:

EazyD

Met Jimmy Carr after a gig in UK, great laugh. Sammy Hagar from Van Halen stayed in same hotel as us in Italy and we drank in the evenings with him and family for the week, seriously cool guy.

I met Ray D'Arcy once. Ray fücken D'Arcy! Would you ever believe it?! 'Twas some sight… seeing a bald midget riding a bike. I'll never forget the day.

ZeroThreat

you know it's good luck if you rub a midget's head....

Met the space rock group Hawkwind at the entrance to the Glasgow Barrowlands in 1985, suitably stoned, Alan Davies the bassist at the time asked if we wanted some autographs, my mate suggested that he would like his roll up autographed to which Davies signed it and my mate then smoked. I then passed Davies a spliff which he went to sign and I said: "No, thats for smokin man." To which he started smoking it, twas a good night.

I worked in a hotel once that was hosting the darts player Keith Deller for a small tournie, the porter told me that he found him strolling down the hotel floor in his boxers in the middle of the night, and then tried to pay for his room service with a bookie slip that he signed his name on it.

Soft inda Head

I bumped into Patrick Bergin outside the gates of Trinity College one evening. We were both rushing in opposite directions - almost sent me flying. Solid guy and is much taller than he looks on screen.

Yer Aul One

I spilled orange juice over Anna Scott once when I was working in a bookshop in Notting Hill.

She was fair sound about it though, gave me the ride sure...

What a boring thread.

C'mon AH - where's the dirt on these people?

Got chatting to a very drunk Eddie Izzard on the Subway in New York once. Nice chap.

KungPao

I met Isobel Mahon, from Glenroe, the other day in my local shop.

Jealous?

Right Turn Clyde

I was standing outside the Sydney State Theatre last week for the world premiere of Angelina Jolie's new film. She was working the crowd for about an hour. I was enjoying the buzz and energy around the place, but I felt a bit indifferent about her actual presence. However, that changed when I found myself standing a few feet away from her. She is unusually beautiful. Of course she's also very intelligent, eloquent and talented. But my god, she's an absolute belter.

Galwayguy35

Some of Showbands was filmed here so saw Kerry Katona and Liam Cunninghan.

Kerry Katona is very small in real life, not a bad looking woman though.

Played pool with Pat Shorte one Sunday morning in Thurles back in the 90's. I think I won.

I used to hate threads like this when a certain poster was still around...

**** like "I have worked closely with some high profile people indeed, in the political field and the entertainment business. I know more about them than any journalist, but please do not ask me to name names. It would not be wise of me to do so."
