A list to Z list it (doesn't matter) have you got any good stories to tell?!
I once hosted a weekly pub quiz in my bartender days in south west London . Saskia and Maxwell of Big Brother fame (!) were regulars down the pub. They took part. And they were as dumb as sh!t. Saskia was lovely, really nice but Maxwell was a c!ck basically. Also served the Irish physio bird off Dream Team, she was fecking hot. Served Dara O'Briain, he was doing a comedy gig at the pub next door, decided not to engage in conversation, he'd only shoot me in flames. Best one, was Dean Gaffney, ex of EastEnders. He really is uglier than he looks.
i met the posh guy from tv show benson in cork airport, i was after a few so thought i would go up and have a chat, all went well until i told him "i really thought you were great in different strokes and i also thought you were good in star wars" what i should have said was benson and star trek, lets just say he wasnt impressed and i felt like a right plonker
here is a pic of him

Got autographs off most of latter series of Dream Team cast, had a nice chat with this fella, real down to earth. Also got autograph off the hot Irish wan Pauro mentioned there, Rachel Brady AKA Abi Fletcher.
Oh and got Shane Filan's autograph years ago too:p And a guy from Def Lepperd, Joe Elliot.
Are u sure it wasn't Trappatoni.Quote:

Her first match is Tuesday.

Was walking around Dublin with my younger brother and saw Paul O' Connell. My brother had a broken arm at the time. He was on the phone so we followed him for a good 10 minutes and then got him to sign my brother's cast.
