Have you ever met anybody famous?

[Wolfie]

Julia Roberts and Liam Neeson - filming Michael Collins. Didn't speak to them, mind. Their trailers were based in an old Sheriff Street car park while they were filming some city scenes. A few labourer lads kept roaring over "Julia!! - Get Dem off ye".

Had a (sort of) conversation with Eoin Hand in Quinns Pub, Drumcondra in 1993. I was obliterated drunk but was genuinely trying to convey to him that he had been very unlucky as Ireland Manager and that he'd laid the foundation for some of our success. He kept saying "Sorry son?, what you sayin?". I was like a desperate man in quick sand as I tried various ways of articulating this to him. I was in a terrible state. My mates were in fits laughing. Poor auld Eoin thought I was taking the pish. He looked very hurt which makes me sad even thinking about it now. Damn alcohol!!

Brendan Gleeson and Colm Meaney - Kennedy's Pub, Drumcondra. People kept quoting "The Snapper" at them. One bloke kept saying to them "That was A1 Sharon". They finally replied in unison "FECK OFF".

I wish! That picture does not do her justice. Unbelievably foxy in the flesh.

Cool collection of shots.

But am I the only one who looked at all those photos and instead of going "Look, it's Frank Kelly", etc, instead went "Ah! So that's what Réiteoir looks like, he is a lot taller/ shorter/ younger/ older/ etc. than I had thought"?

Yes. I imagine you like this:



That's Magicme you're talking to. Blatantly you're going to rape her.

It's not really meeting someone famous (unless you count a prop buyer for TV famous)
But I printed the Famous "I Shot J.R." t-shirt for that guy in Father Ted. I was working in T-Shirt Print in blanch and was asked to do cover in the St. Stephens Green branch on that particular day when the Prop buyer came in. I though the shirt was unusual and asked the girl what was the story behind it and she told me watch out for it in an episode of father ted. I know it was my one because we were out of I's that day so I cut the cross bar off a T and used that, and the J was made from 2/3 of a letter U

I dropped the singer from Kosheen back to her tour bus because she was ****ed drunk in the pub that i worked in. She came in the next day and put myself & my wife on the guest list and brought us back stage after the gig.

When my mate played for Sunderland I went out a few times with some of the players.

Met the Man Utd team in the players Lounge at Sunderland.

John Aldridge Stayed back for a few pints in bar in Dublin where I worked.

I met Aqua of Barbie Girl Fame

Paddy Cerrand was in the pub I worked in when Man Utd played Sturm Graz in 2000.

Met some of the Irish team when they where on one of their nights out before a match. Remember I was working in the kitchen which had an open front on it and Jason Mc Ateer just picked up one of the meals and started eating it.

Tom Butler (Swansea City) is a mate of mine
