Did they do a rendition of Snooker Loopy for you? :P :D

When I was in my teens, Phil Oakey from Human league bumped into me in the Hole in the Road. He was being chased by a load of screaming girls and ran into me making his escape. He put his and on my shoulder and said sorry. I nearly fainted as he was my hearthrob at the time!!

Aged 16 I was on "Where there's life" with Dr Miriam Stoppard. It was a programme about education and she said my mad goth hair was the most amazing haircut she had ever seen!!

I have also met Boyzone, Bewitched and Tim Vincent when my daughter won a radio1 competition.

Ooooo! I also had the pleasure of meeting a very large foam Postman Pat when I was about 4 :thumbsup: got sent to the headmistress, with a friend, for goin around and telling all the kids the year below us that Postman Pat didnt exist, and therefore upsetting them all! Whoo Hoo sadist! I still got to meet him tho! and Santa Claus :D

Santa's elves have got very ageist recently, wont let me go into grotto because Im too old! Think you'll find thats discrimination!!! :wink: :wink:

Met a few people, but out of them all I'd have to say the most famous would be Alex Ferguson. He watched me play football as teenager and I got an autograph from him, would have preferred him signing me for Man Utd though.
;)

Very nice, but if you're taking the trouble to put the photo up on your website, you could at least spell her name correctly - it's Kim WILDE :)

Evan Campo last night @ Amplesands Manchester lol. What a weirdo. Probably drowning his sorrows of Bolton loosing to Chelsea even tho Bolton has the most posession.

Aha!

I bet the joke is it was a Vietnamese set-meal with Chicken brit-ni and Prawn kri-stina in a bed of three different flavoured rices.

I'm not bloody daft!


Was it nice?

Bloody hell SM!!!!!

Can't a bloke fantasise any more without some mad professor spoiling it?
:thumbsup:

A few weeks ago I walked into my living room to find that my cousin had brought back the bloke who plays Joe Scully.

Predictably, I told him that I'd seen him on 'Neighbours' earlier in the day and it was remarkable that he'd made it over to England in such a short space of time. Not only that, but he'd managed to get back to Australia in time for the repeat...

He had a cup of coffee and smoked a fag out of the back door. My housemate got the shock of his life when he came down to get a glass of water.

Not an A-list celebrity, admittedly, but it was something a little out of the ordinary in my otherwise banal existence.

That is what I would worry about if I had to meet Maj, I wouldnt be able to curtsy so she probably would have me thrown in the tower. Best not to meet I thought.

Err no it was more of a bumping into her at York Races.

My brother-in-law once stood in front of her maj with a drawn cutlass and she lived! Obviously, he and I don't see eye to eye on all things.

Someone high up in China, I believe...
Odd I know, but then I have contacts in strange places...:D
I was too young to pay much attention and just remember being introduced to Madame someone or other...in my child's ears it sounded like Shanghai Check, lol!
Any ideas? I've often wondered. She was quite old and is most likely dead now.

Nope,

He stayed at our house just the once, for two nights

Of course we had no idea who he was at the time (1975) - he was just another overseas business customer who received the customary hospitality from my Dad's company - i.e. staying and eating with the family.

The business was gun sights and military optics.

We found who it was many years later, courtesy of interpol.

Just thought i,d share this with you,had a great drunken chat with shane lynch last night,(ex boyzone bloke) he was at a friends wedding,although he told me off for being sarcastic we had a great chat,nice bloke as it turns out,
what famous people have you met?
also met phil oakey at another wedding.
Be interesting i think to list famous folk we have met and what you thought of them.

Threads merged.

I met Jon Snow and Charles Kennedy in Sheffield recently.

Ok here we go...and remember I;m only young - there's room still for improvement :(

Charlotte Church at the Oxford Street xmas lights thing - pure accident, we didn't even know it was going on!

Duff, from Guns n Roses, in Manchester. He was drinking a pint of neat Pernod.

Me and my girlfriend sat on the table next to Jo from SClub7 (and 2 friends/minders) in ASK restaurant around the time of a show they did up here.

The MOST famous person I have met was a man called Gildo Pastor. He is the president of the World trade centre of Monaco. He works with the royalty of Monaco. He was a really nice man and took me to the Hotel de paris in Monte carlos for Vodka and oysters.

JK Rowling

David Blunket

My grandad met the beatles tho ;) he got their autograph on a plane.

When I was nine I met Princess Anne - she came to a concert our orchestra did. She was very nice!

I walked past Andrea Corr in Covent Garden a few weeks ago, she's quite small!

Top this then...when I was a kid in the 80's Ian Beale from Eastenders opened our school fair.

I was playing on the bouncy castle and he got in in his horrible 80's silver suit and slip on shoes with white socks combo.

Anyway, I banged into him, he fell off, broke his collar bone, and the script for eastenders had to be rewritten.

My mam was dead proud

I stood and talked to Michael Palin very briefly in the queue to get into Wembley for the Rumbelows Cup Wednesday v Man Utd. I wish I'd had a pen on me so he could sign my programme.

Stood having a wee next to Joe Royle at Hillsborough one night match. Put 2 and 2 together and made 5 as usual.. he didn't take over as manager LOL he was just having a wee.

Rob Halford of Judas Priest stood full on my hand with his big butch biker boots when I was at the front at the City Hall once.

Talked at length to Neil Warnock when I had to put a programme together for SUFC v Frecheville last year. To be fair, he couldn't be nicer.

I have seen quite a few celebrities but the most famous have to be Trevor MacDonald came in College in Preston when I worked there for a Better English Campaign, I was walking towards him on the corridor and he opened the door for me and said good morning.

Also I have met Frank Bruno a couple of times, he signed his autograph for me and I asked him if he liked HP sauce, he said Ey I do love.

I saw Neil Morrissey (off men behaving badly, and those annoying Homebase ads) in the Bath Hotel, just off West Street. And I met Jeremy Irons at a shop I used to work at down south. Chatted a while and said, ' you're the spitting image of yourself, Mr Irons'. At least I didn't get him to do the voice of scar from the lion king.

And I saw Rowan Atkinsons Maclaren F1 shortly after he had wrapped it round a tree. He was long gone, though. Oh, adn I got moved on by his security after accidentally traspassin on his gaffe. Never actually seen the bloke though...

What about Tom Selleck and John Hillerman?

Went with some mates to the British G.P. (motorcycles) at Donnington park. Was peering throught the window of a Ferrari when someone tapped me on the shoulder to ask if he could get into his car and it was George Harrison who was with his mate Barry Sheen who had just won the last race. He talked to me about bikes for a while and even waited for me to go and get a pen to sign my programme, what a great bloke cant believe both he and Barry are gone now. RIP

David Beckham used to live oposite where I work, when he played for Man U, so saw him quite often.

Also met Frank Bruno & Charlie Williams:D

I met David Bowie and his wife Iman.

Iman was carrying out some UNICEF work in Botswana and they rolled into the village where I was helping out.

The village kids were asking me who he was and despite my best efforts to sing them a few Bowie songs they had no idea (which didn't suprise me that much tbh). So I just told them "he also used to play football for England" which I knew would get them excited ;)

He was wondering why they all wanted their footballs signing lol. Nice bloke, so was Iman. I only spoke to them for a few minutes but it was nice enough.

The man who wrote the book on lateral thinking, literally. Have used his "six thinking hats a few times. good way of exploring ideas, if you can get over the seeming gimmick-iness of it.

Even got an assignment back once marked "don't be so red hat"

Ran into Jeff Bridges (literally) at Bear Valley.

http://www.bearvalley.com/

I was embarrassed and apologized, but he was very nice about it. (he's better looking in person!)

About twenty years ago, went with my sister to a mall opening in Concord, Ca. to see the cast of a soap opera she was hooked on. Surprise. John Stamos was one of the cast members. (Pssst. Girls, he's REALLY short)

Saw Donald Sutherland at the Ballena Bay Yacht Club in Alameda, Ca. (apparently, he loves to sail)

Saw Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss come out of a bar, stop, turn around, and go back in. They did this about twelve times. They were filming "Rich Man, Poor Man", a TV miniseries. This was in Oakland, Ca. (I think)

As a teenager, I had a friend whose father owned a painting company in the Bay Area. He told us they were hired to repaint portions of Alcatraz prison to make it look new because Clint Eastwood was filming a movie there. The next day, the painting "crew" had two new workers ride over to Alcatraz on the ferry. We got to see Clint Eastwood, and his then girlfriend Sondra Locke, but were too chicken to actually approach them. The movie was "Escape from Alcatraz". (and yes, my friend's father did make us work!)

Saw quite a few celebrities while working in Reno. Carol Burnett comes to mind because she was very gracious and left me a HUGE tip.

And finally, Carol Channing lives not far from my house.

http://www.modbee.com/life/mondaylife/story/7084164p-8017197c.html We've seen her walking in the neighborhood with her husband, and she always waves and says hello. A sweet woman.

I met and had a 30min long conversation with Edgar Wright (director of spaced and shaun of the dead) then i got really drunk towards the end of the night and jumped on his back outside the club. He didnt seem too impressed. Then i saw him again back stage at leeds 2003 fest. we were both walking to the gents from different directions, kind of made eye contact, asked if he remembered me, he said yes (how could he forget me...) had a little chat. He never did go to the toilet :) just walked the opposite way! I think i scared him that time outside the club.

Other than that... I think i jumped on timmy mallet at some student night in hull. I don't know what it is when im drunk but i always seem to have the urge to jump on celebrities.

I rest my case :heyhey:

I babysat for the daughter of Dave Hemingway (other male singer alongside Paul Heaton in Beautiful South). I was at uni in Leeds at the time and he lived in Kirkstall... I was just looking for some extra cash and used to babysit for his daughter quite often.. he's a lovely guy!

I once saw Terry and June at Loughborough railway station.

screw you buddy! :) hows that incar mp3?! and the script writing. Did you ever take them classes?

Many years ago, too many to mention, well actually early/mid 60s I used to travel every Friday from Luton, where I lived to London, with other Luton Louts for a night in West End. One of these trips we stopped off for a few wets in Pinner, The Red Lion to be exact, directly opposite the tube staion.

There was a guy playing the piano, and we struck up a conversation. After a few weekly visits I said I played and he asked me to stand in for him while he went to the loo. From then on I had a regular spot while the resident player took a break.

I was paid, If I remember correctly 4 shillings for 1/2 hour.

My name is Bruce, his was Reg Dwight

What was Elton doing in the toilet for half an hour??! On second thoughts, I don't want to know. :hihi:

-Drinks with various MP's and Govt. Ministers on the Terrace at HOC (most famous Jack Straw)
-Richard Branson (had champagne breakfast with him at Health Club)
-Michael Portillo (sat next to me on the train from St Pancras to Sheffield a couple of weeks ago)
-Victoria Beckham & David Beckham (whilst shopping in Selfridges)
-James Nesbitt (in same lift at Malmaison, Manchester a couple of years ago)
-Raymond Blanc (trained at his cookery school)
-John Burton Race (when I ate at The New Angel, Dartmouth)
-Damien Hirst (at opening of Shark in Formaldehyde at Saatchi in 1992)
-Lucy-Jo Hudson AKA Katie Harris (came into Vivienne Westwood in Manchester whilst I was buying some shirts)
-Sue Nicholls AKA Audrey Roberts (in menswear at Kendals)

That's about it! :)

I have met a few snooker players, footy players, no one exciting.

Met The Doves last Saturday after a rather excellent gig at the Uni :thumbsup:

I met Meat Loaf in Florida when I was about 11.

Oh and I licked Steve Lamaq's (radio 1) earlobe... :heyhey:

oooh well I used to work for 12 years in hotel so got to meet quite a few famous people. Some very nice. So not so! I hate to think how some of em live at home!

Posh and Becks used to come in on a Sunday afternoon in Manchester when they were just starting to get together. Must say, very nice people.

But loads of other personalities, sporting (Gary Lineker, Ian Woosman virtually every snooker player and more), television (John Motson is as a big an anorak in real life as he is on tv!!), I could put a very long thread!!

Spiffing JJP! All those meetings with Governement Ministers on The Terrace and amongst Commons Chambers..... I see now, the BS that they spout on a daily basis must be rubbing off on yourself! You really ought not keep spouting all this BS, it is jolly funny to read, but really you aren't qualified to do so until you hold a Bulls**t Certificate (aka: a BSc), or is it a BA at the management school?

Did you get to see the Shark amongst all those big tall adults at Saatchi back in 1992, my, you must have been ........ 9yrs old?

Anyhow, I'm off to whip up some fennel & quails eggs pancakes with truffle jus. A recipe I learnt when I was working as a trained chef in the Ritz.

Ta ta!

met darkness one time when over in dec 04

went fishing with billy connolly when he was over filming for his tv program he used my x neighbours barge (when i use to live on one) he was very nice bloke,even sign her boat and now that for sale if anyone want it lol.

patrick mcguinness at his gig saw him back stage

long time ago i once went to a local bike club that still see in bury and a bloke name peter kay drank in that pub,that was well befor he became famous tho but he was known.

few others i ither seen or met but think billy was the best to met.

Joe Elliott and Rick Savage,
Mike Peters from the Alarm

Dare I admit it,... Gary Glitter.:gag:

I think the most famous people I met are:

Prince Charles
Muhammad Ali

Were they in the ring together, by any chance? :o

Sorry, couldn't resist...... :P

StarSparkle

sally webster from coronation street,met her on holiday about 14yrs ago,sat our daughter on her knee and took her photo,thought leanne might have been impressed when she grew older,and guess what she's not,lol.

Whichever one of Mike and Bernie Winters didn't die first. I saw him opening Dronfield Gala in 1970-something. That really is the best I can do.

I saw John Virgo yesterday in Boots and last week I think I saw Bill Bailey in HaHa's!

I've met quite a few people - but most interesting:

I've had Mr Portillo on his knees...

Mo Mowlem filled my wine glass to over-flowing and she spilled red wine all over Sir **** ***** beige carpet ...

In Los Angeles last week I met and chatted to - Bruce Forsyth ! Oh well ....

Worked at Wakefield Theatre Club for a while so met loads of D list celebs. Got a lift home one night with Paper Lace (you have to be a certain age to remember them)!

I once saw Rod Jane and Freddie (from Rainbow!) in Barnsley of all places! Ive also met some Coronation street characters (Tyrone and Ashley)....but appart from that no one! :(

ME! I'm so famous, everywhere I go I'm there. To be honest, it's becoming a bit of a drag, this being famous lark.

Only this morning, when I woke up, guess who was there? Yes, ME! I went to the loo only to be met by that chap again, ME.

I gets in my car and looks in the rear view mirror. 'I recognise that face' I say to myself, 'It's ME!'

Just as I feel I'm on my own again, I walk into my shop and guess whose reflection I see in the window? You got it!

I'm so famous that this morning I've signed my signature no fewer than seven times (albeit on creditors' cheques).

I'm truly famous - honest. I'm currently writing a book about my fame: It's volume 24, and like its predecessors, it's simply titled: Diary.

For someone so famous, it's a right rivetting read. For anybody who doesn't know me, it's a complete bore. But hey, I don't mind, I'm famous. And believe me, if anyone knows, it's ME!:thumbsup:

Met a man called Pete Best. He was the drummer in a group called The Beatles. Kicked him out in 1962.

Met Una Stubbs in The Brown Bear pub. Had a nice chat then she gave me a kiss, on the lips, OOOER! no tounge lashing though. Nice looking lass.

Beat that if yer can!

Donny Osmond - I held his hand & his dark brown eyes rendered me speachless ...

Tina.

I once sold Les Dennis some black jeans when I worked in Nottingham - he needed a very short leg!

mate of my mrs was a nanny for stings son in the late 70's sadly didnt save her pay cheques with his signiture on or theyd be worth more now in auction than she was probably paid!!!

I read that initially as implying that Tom Baker was reading his own autobiography when you met him :loopy:

I know he's a bit eccentric, but that would be odd!

The Queen came into where I used to work, I said to her "That reminds me I need to buy a stamp"

Graham Norton in Waterstones last year. Short but very funny.

Jimmy Summerville in a local shop, Richard Wilson (looks like victor meldrew, same grumpy expression) coming out of Waitrose, Boy George, also in waitrose with no make up on luvvie! Barry, Auf whats-it- name(can't spell it, not going to try!) Pet, in local pub and that miserable man (now dead) out of A Fine Romance, also can't remember his name, the one with Judy Dench, he was always propping up the bar in our local pub - The Black Lion on West End Lane

I didn't talk to any of them, I'm not a star struck kind of person but I lived in West Hampstead at the time and there are load of 'em around there. I wish I'd stayed around a bit longer, I might have met Richard and Judy! I would have had to have prodded them to see if they were real though!

Graham Norton!!!!!!

Six months before Graham (look, it's a carrot that looks like a willy) Norton appeared at Waterstones there was a book signing session with Sir Ranalf Finnes. Finnes had undergone a tripple heart bi-pass a few months earlier and run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. He had also walked to the North and South Pole. How many people were there to see this absolute ledgend?

Me, and that was it.

Fast forward a few months and Graham (look, it's a kebab that looks like Jade Goodies ****) Norton was signing books and he had a queue that went back to the Virgin Megastore.

I couldn't believe it, what sort of society would worship Norton over Finnes.

I blame this whole shallow, celebrity obsesed culture on Blair

If Thatcher made us greedy, then Blair has made us shallow

:clap: :lol: :lol:

i met the cheeky girls in the center of london once
dont ask!!!!! :loopy: my m8 liked em at the time

Paul Heaton from Beautiful South once bought me and my friends a drink in the bar of the Novotel. He was there with the united players the eve before a match. He had to work pretty hard to convince me that he was a Sheffielder, cause i argued that the press said they were from Hull. He chatted away for ages and told us about his new album he was recording at the time. Everyone i know is sick of hearing this tale, i can hear the groans now........

Faye tozer <-- spelt right?
The guy who played "Trigger" in only fools and horses.
Tommy Tynan <---- old plymouth argyle/sheffield wednessday player.

My son had his photo taken with Jayne Middlesmiss (currently in Celebrity Love Island) when the Games was taking place in Sheffield....!

It is a lovely piccy (http://photobucket.com/albums/y144/shieshuk/?action=view&current=Picture165.jpg)

:P

I have pics of my wee bro and my son with Alison from BB :gag:
I met Peter Vaughan on a train, lovely sincere gentleman. And Jeremy Northam in an airport, way more handsome in real life and taller than I thought!! Tony Blair on Princes St while I was queing up for the new slimline PS2 before christmas.

Whats wrong with people preferring Norton over Finnes? Are you saying that everyone has to have the same opinion as you and like the same people that you do??? why not go one stop further and demand that all people think alike too. Its just as well the Germans never won

I've met quite a list of minor celebs, mostly from my days as a bar manager and doing security for gigs in Leeds. Including:

Faithless
Feeder
Beautiful South
Morcheeba
Kaiser Chiefs
Various DJs
Emmerdale cast
Leeds Utd. team

Dan from BB

-PK-

Johnny Cash a true gentleman
Cliff Richard he was the love of my life when I was 15 and he was so nice to this tongue tied girl

I'm so jealous! :)

StarSparkle

Seen loads of people but the most famous was Brian May in a v v v pash car in London in November!

I was one of the many people who helped with the makeover for Heeley City Farm on Challenge Anneka so I met her and she interviewed me while I was eating my dinner, didnt make into the tv programme though :(

I met abit titmuss when i worked on midland mainline - she was going 1st class from manchester to london

Nice lass

Just tell me which famous people you have met!

cliff richard. graham norton, jason priestly,loads footballers and sports people. bradley walsh .....erm, loads more

Most famous would be Keifer Sutherland I think :0) Hes a really nice guy too !!!

Mod: Threads merged. Please use the search facility before starting a new topic! Thanks.

I've met Tony Benn, Billy Bragg, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle. I know Richard Hawley and I met this board's very own Toby Foster once or twice. That's about it really, apart from some minor celebrity visitors to my school (Canon & Ball, Les Dennis and Lenny Henry).

My girlfriend was told to f*** off by John Leslie and interviewed wearing a rubber chicken on her head by the BBC's Hazel Irvine. She's also met some bloke from Taggart, Richard Stilgoe, Toby Anstiss, Pat Sharp (minus mullet), Kirsty Young, went to school with the Fulham footballer Ian Pearce and met Tony Benn at the same time as me. Oh and the actor Douglas Henshall in the 24 hour Spa on Ecclesall Road.

I did once sell a second hand televison to one of the Chuckle Brothers. :suspect:

One of our best friends is an actor who was in the History Boys at the National Theatre recently, and he's met Alan Bennet, Richard Griffiths and Frances De La Tour? Does that count?

I once sold a fanzine at Donny Rovers to former footballer Malcolm Allinson and was ignored by Denis Law outside Maine Road in 1985. And I drove to Darlington in former Chelsea and England striker Kerry Dixon's car. The journey back was on the Rovers' team coach. I sat behind Darren Moore, now at West Bromwich Albion.

That's about it I think...when I worked at William Hill I spoke to Mike Atherton on the phone. He's very boring and not particularly nice. Radio Five's Jonathon Legard is very very rude indeed. That's where I met my girlfriend; she got a call from Robbie Fowler and was also bored to death by Athertone's droning on. She worked at a hotel in London and met, wait for it, such legends as Marti Pellow, Gillian Taylforth and someone called Gary Lucy. I don't know who he is.

You can like who you like, and I'll express an opinion on what ever I like.

I thought the situation was a microcostmic reflection of modern society where a celeb who has created his reputation by showing fruit shaped like willys is held in higher regard than than an explorer who ran 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days shortly after a heart by-pass.

Quite a few other people I spoken to about this agree with it's representation. You prefer Norton, that's fine. I'm sure fruit shaped like willys is very funny to you.

Recently met Viggo Mortensen....still recovering!!!

richard and judy!!
i was impressed anyway

You make out as if human beings have no free will! :P

I've met a few famous people
The nicest and least pretentious was Julian Clary.
Lily Savage many times before she became famous.
Village People - had a romantic dance with John the 'leatherman'
Patrick Moore - a very interesting person who's just as passionate about music as he is about astronomy
James Herriet - the author not the actor
to name but a few

Me and my partner were sat next to Mike Baldwin from Corrie on a plane to Washington a month ago.... but he got bumped up to first class before I got the chance to get leathered and embarrass myself.

I've met Richard Whiteley too and Kylie talked to me when I saw her in concert. And The David Sneddon trod on my toe onc and apologised.

I don't believe a PM can be responsible.

Thatcher is often blamed for creating a selfish culture. (don't actually believe)

But for those who do believe she did Blair could be blamed for making us shallow

The other day I swear Kath from the Most Haunted Team drove past me at the end of Brightside Lane.

Well why not, she has to be somewhere! ?

I once had a wee in a urinal next to Ant Mcpartlin in a Service Station near newcastle, I talked to him about Lets Get Ready To Rhumble while we were washing our hands, he hasnt got much of a fasion sense!

Oh yeh, and I met Sheridan Smith, the blonde sexy woman out of two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, and Nigel Wilson, a runner up in BBCs fame Academy, and Ive met Peter Kays agent (shes my aunty's mate)

Met. I have seen many more bands than that.

I once met Albert Higins, nice bloke, he used to live down the cliff, very well known for his collection of milk bottle tops, he now lives in one of those new houses in firthpark, strange how fame can go to a persons head.

Hybrid... both of them :D

A load of losers that i spoke to after a charity football match! - One of the most boring days of my life...

I have probably met more, just cant remember! Not into the whole... 'your of the tv i want to scream thing'.

People i want to meet

Patrick Stewart
Liam Howlett
Scott Bakula
Milla Jovovich... yum!

Ohh, Patrick Stewart, I have never met him but I know where he lives at the moment :D. He rents (I think) a penthouse apartment above one of our offices!

I once sat next to Frank Carson on a flight to Jersey - I was five so I thought this was ace, he was really friendly.

I also met Lionel Ritchie when I was living in London. I was shopping for shoes in Harvey Nics, and he sat next to me, he even complimented my choice!

I put them back when he wasn't looking though. Bad, bad, dress sense that man.....

:loopy:

I met two guys from Neighbours on millenuim eve in Revoultion

One was who played Joel (Was in The Bill) and i cant remember the characters name but played oz footie and lived with Harold.

They were doing a panto here :D

I once met Sean Connery while out in a cardi and slippers, fetching his newspaper. Really stupidly early on a Bank Holiday Monday.
He looked like my Grandad and he needed a shave.
The stars on their days off eh?

I once met Darth Vader and Hordak off He Man in Redgates.

Naah, there not celebrities ,I mean" real" celebrities.
Was in a pokey little night club in town in the early 60s,and two young men were drinking at the bar.After a while they got up, and walked on to this pokey little stage with just two stools there.No band or anything,but one had a guitar.They started singing "Bridge over troubled Waters".I said to my husband "Oh,they are quite good for a place like Sheffield arent they?" He said "I cant see them getting anywhere with a song like that though" They were only Simon & Garfunkal before anyone really knew them in England.!

I was at college and in various orchestras/plays with Matt (the large one) out of G4 and Kim who was in the last 10 of pop idol and I also know author Marina Lewycka, and one of the policewomen featured in Monday nights' Girl cops (BBC1). Wow what a star studded life I lead! I also met the previous Archbishop of York.

I used to live in France and met a few A-listers whilst over there, but no one anybody in the UK would know. My best friend worked in the music biz so it used to happen all the time, dinner parties, shows, etc.

I've met a few, Maude Adams (Bond: Octopussy), Joanna Lumley, Shirley Bassey, all in the line of duty (event organisation). Can't recall them all.

Whilst I was at Warner Bros in London, I met the Haarlem Globe Trotters and... (you ready for this ppn_2204?) Arnold Schwarzenegger and ...

George Clooney. I coulda' lived without meeting Arnie, but George Clooney; thank you very much! Was never a fan 'til I met him,a m not really now and I have this policy of not idolising people who are unattainable (since Donny Osmond turned me down when I was 6, ahem), but I swear to 'some entity somewhere' I nearly swooned. He was so charming, like a little boy lost with that winsome smile... gees. Anyway, enough, this is a family forum, and after all, he's not a yorkshireman ;)

I went to see Tommy Cooper at the Fiesta in 1974 and after the show I bumped into him on my way out and he stopped me to ask if I'd enjoyed the show.

I was gob smacked, he had been so funny that night, and what an enormously tall man he was, I think that's what really struck me most, how big he was when you were stood next to him.

A great performer, a great man.

I only forgot the more obvious one; my friend and I used to organise nightclubs events for Basement Jaxx until they became hot shots, so I know Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton.

I think that's it for now.

I've no clue who Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton are, but I'm sending Lizzmobile metaphorical little hate daggers for having met George Clooney. ::ppn falls over in a fit of foaming jealousy::

I would never be rude to that woman! I think it's nothing short of marvellous the way she still loves nature, in spite of what it did to her!

You little darling! Has someone been using 'quote of the week' toilet paper again? ;)

At 34 sweetheart, I'm hardly chronologically challenged, and besides.... many a good tune has been played on an old fiddle. Not that I'm suggesting for a moment you should play with my fiddle. That would be highly inappropriate!

Yah!

Bob Geldof lives in the small town I grew up in. Our band used to perform at the annual fayre he hosted at his old house, inviting the pop stars and coolsters of the day to wander around, eg Jools Holland, Simon le Bon.

I met Phil King (ex wednesday player) in Pejis Pizza parlour when it opened in Kiveton Park- he bought me and my sis a can of coke.. top bloke.

Also- I used to hand around with Lucy who was in Playboy as Miss September a while back as well when we were both at high school- top lass!

Georgie Best, Diana Dors & AlanLake, Jimmy Savile, stand out among others.
George Best was most unimpressive, we had few bevies in a club in Manchester with him, he was only little and not at all flash.
Alan Lake (Diana's husband) was a real showman and life of the party, a real laugh.
Jimmy savile never seemed to let his public persona slip, and was always playing the part.

George Clooney :love: and Schwarzenegger. And others.

I saw Britney Spears when I was in L.A. By the time I'd realised it was her, and got my camera out she'd got into her car and was starting to be driven away (she was being chased by Paparazzi at the time, who were doing a much better job of taking her picture than me) so I managed to only get a picture of her left hand :). For anyone interested its here (http://public.fotki.com/GElliott/travel/world_tour_2005/usa/2005-05_los_angeles/050513_los_angeles.html)

I met Bobby Nut in a supermarket once too. I also went to the London premier of Terminator 3 so was in the same place as lots of famous people, but didn't really meet any of them.

i met anastacia! yay! my gran works at the Hallamshire Hospital and after gigs at the Hallam arena, people go there to relax and i went to go and get my granmother, and she took me up to a room and sat there was Anastacia and her crew! what a day! she kissed my cheek and hugged me! she is soooooo fit
