    Robert Arkins (Jimmy Rabbite in The Commitments) has dropped his PC in for repair where I work on at least two occasions. I pretended I didn't know who he was as I'm sure he's probably sick of hearing it at this stage. Other than that I had a conversation with Laura Woods and that's about it.

    Apparently when I was really tiny, like 2 or 3, my mom worked in Hollywood doing hairdressing, and her friend got her into some party and she brought me along, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were there and thought I was an adorable kid and played with me for ages.

    I remember none of this, but there's a picture of it.

    Other than that I can't think of anyone particularly famous who I've seen/met, I don't think Niall Breslin counts, or Rob Strong or anything.

    Davey Lutton (drummer from T-Rex) is a frequent visitor to the library where I work, he knows most of my life story and I his at this stage. My sister in law saw Willie Nelson a few years ago when she moved in a cinema, he was going to see some 2Pac film. :)

    Some others that I can't remember

    I've met Gates, Patrick Steward, Mary McDonnell (she's in BSG and was Donny Darko's mother), James Callis (that's Bridget Jones gay friend Tom to all you non-BSG people) at various SciFi conventions


    Jeremy Clarkson walked past me at the UK Star Trek premiere, I saw James May and I was inches away from Richard Hammond. I heard Jonathan Ross was also there, but I didn't see him. And I've just remembered Lorraine Kelly walked past me on her way out of the cinema

    Oh and before the screening started JJ Abrams, one of the producers, Chris Pine (Spock), Eric Bana (Nero) and Zachary Quinto (Spock (and Sylar for all you Heroes fans)) came into the screen to talk to us for a few minutes

    Met Dwight Yorke when I randomly went into Champion Sports one day, just over 10 years ago. Met Leinster rugby team after the Toulouse match. Some Irish soccer players after Holland game in 2001.

    Favourites have been meeting Eagles of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age though. nd as I say them like that, I mean all the members(bar two). Wonderful times.

    Also, my friend called Brendan O Connor a bollix to his face. No idea why.
    He would go down as a legend in my book for that.

    Aengus McInally.

    When I was younger, about 10, he used to come to a family that lived near us with his family. I gave his son a beating one day before I knew who he was.

    He ran off to get his dad, and low and behold out walks McInally himself and slaps me around the head. I shook off my awe(this was during his heyday) and hit him a box in the balls and ran off shouting "**** you McInally".

    I was a local celebrity around the local kids for ages after that.

    Yeah, I bumped into him one evening when I was a young fella.
    We were both taking a slash in the jacks in Kennedys (I think it was).
    I came up an immensely witty insult to hit him with.

    Me: Well Bertie ya bollix.
    Him: Yeah, take it easy there like a good lad.

    I was shocked to see Bertie exposed like that.
    If I had been an international hitman for hire I could have taken him
    out in a flash.
