I can understand not mentioning the currently working with celeb, but no names on the other two is a bit useless.

It's like saying "I know a very famous celeb personally, but I won't tell you who"

Also, I would have said Jodie Marsh, didn't she do a bit of Dj'ing for a while, among other things?
Or one called Rebekah comes to mind as well, big enough DJ in England etc.

Yeah I'm sorry to do that..a bit pointless.

It's just that it's through work mostly where confidentiality is bible and taking no chances.

I have Gerry Adams autograph on an IRA calendar from about 1983/1984.

The Satanist

I met Leo Varadkar in 2013 at a work event. He is very tall, polite and seems shy. I told him to get on with building Metro North (he was transport minister at the time) . He laughed. I didn't. Still waiting.

the beer revolu

Steve Albini called me a dumb fcuk from the stage. I'd cracked some joke that he misheard/didn't understand. Everyone in the crowd was a bit puzzled at why he singled me out. Great gig, though!

The Palace Brothers (Bonny Prince Billy) slept on my living room floor once.

One of them was a guy you met at a wedding. You said he was sound.
Perhaps he'll sue you.

Here's a mad one,

One day I called unexpectedly to see a friend of mine. He's a (now) retired civil servant. As we werree drinking coffee. I could see him watching the front window now and again but thought nothing of it,

Next thing the doorbell rings and he said "wait til;l you see who's at the door.

It was Johnny Logan, With a photographer and a driver.

My friend had entered into some european civil service draw and won a few quid. Johnny and co. arrived with a cheque and a photographer for the CS magazine.

Once the formalities were over, a bottle of whiskey was opened and we had a great afternon. The driver and photographer lad had great patience.

Good old JLo. A class act.

Living in England in a particular well to do town. There are 7-8 professional footballs clubs all within about 45 mins drive. The town is the place for all the footballers to live so I regularly see footballers in restaurants and out and about.

A legendary ex Irish international lives up the road. Seen him out a few times and even bumped into him in House of Fraser a few years ago...browsing the men's jeans section.

In fact in my line of work I have personally dealt with some famous people. The first one is a well know DJ and was in BB years ago (to be fair more famous in England). I genuinely had no idea who she was and her name meant nothing to me until a colleague told me. I Googled her...big mistake.

She hung around with a lot of footballers, tabloid stuff, topless pics, FHM shoots- you get the pic. keeping a straight face when she was next in with me was hard with those images in my head. She was sound but completely hyper- while she is attractive I wouldn't notice her in a pub. Amazing how hot she looks in pics and mags.

I currently doing some work for a well known footballer (retired) played WC for England, on Sky Sports on a regular basis, won a few league titles- he can hardly write his own name.

Sorry but I am leaving out names.

Grew up and played with plenty of inter county footballers with AI titles but not including them.

I was placed sitting next a footballer at a wedding a few years ago.

To be fair he retired in the early 90s and not really a household name. I had never heard of him- way before my time. But he won an FA cup with Ipswich in 1978, league and European Cup with Villa in 1982. Sound out and chatted to him all night.

He was telling me that Irish young lads who go to England for trials just don't listen and ask too many questions! They think they are a lot better than they are in reality which I can believe.

Works as a scout for the English FA now scouting international teams. His wife kept pestering me for a dance as she loves Irish guys.

We had an actor in with us a few years ago. He has been on Holby City and Eastenders and pops up in a few things every now and then.. We were doing work for his elderly father and he was in helping him. In fact we both had to lift his father out of the building into his wheelchair.

The girls in the office ran down for autographs. He was pretending to be all shy and bashful. Then he actually pulled out postcard sized pics of himself from his manbag and signed them. Cheeky fecker...lol

To be fair he was sound and a smooth fecker. Wouldn't leave him alone with the wife for a second.

They say EURO 88 kick started the Celtic Tiger.


I have always maintained it was Johnny Logan's win in 1987.

James 'The Virginian' Drury at an event when he came back to his ancestoral home in Roscommon a few years ago, a very nice man.

Pele, outside a hotel in New York around 30 years ago, I was awe struck and couldn't string a sentence together but he smiled and shook my hand.

I live in Bath, UK and I've run into various celebrities now. Nearly killed Kris Marshall there a few months back when he stepped into traffic thinking that there was no filter light.

He got knocked down a few years back too. Crossing a road doesn't seem to be his strong point.

Stop moaning ffs

Forgot me LOTR meets.

Viggo Mortensen-really sound. Strange zen energy vibe off him. He’s cool.

Hugo Weaving- was dying to ask him to say Misssster Anderson but I resisted. He was lovely and told me a couple of funny stories.

Ian Holm-living legend and a lovely man.

He's one of these. I've already narrowed it down to just the living men because my powers of deduction are Holmes-esque.
