Have you met anyone famous

[notsodimwit]

And felt so let down by them in real life such as were they a arse?

As for Nicola Sturgeon being shy, according to you: HAHAHAHAHA

Well I am enjoying this thread, for the nice and bad stories. If you are not enjoying it too why are you reading it ?! A waste of your time surely?

Nettletheelf....good name btw
Because its my opinion...is that ok with you? The whole thread is about "have you met anyone famous? " I don't bring into everyday conversation.
If you don't like it, you can scroll past...it is not really that difficult. Am sure there may be much more entertaining threads that might suit you.

I live in the same village as Robbie Coltrane. He is quite short tempered and once refused to let my brother borrow his phone to call my mum after he fell off his bike outside RC's house when he was 10. He also routinely parks his car in the only disabled parking spot in the village which riles everybody up.

Robert Plant, twice. First time I was in my early 20s and didn't know who he was. He told me he was in a band called Status Quo. He was flirtatious, I wasn't.
Saw him again a few years later, was pretty rude and impatient with people but he did seem pretty stressed so I've forgiven him.

You do know you dont actually have to read the thread. You are not in charge of what people post so why all the arseyness over it? If you dont like it dont read it. You obviously dont care about anyone famous unless you can slag them off and its annoying you people are actuslly famous and nice at the same time.
Stop picking out posters to attack there are loads of posts with good stories about celebs. Says a lot more about you than the posters you are attacking. Maybe you want to hear all celebs are as intollerant and judgemental as you are?
As someone else said your petulant demands are akin to z listers and your rants arent what op asked for either and as she has been back on thread several times she has had chance to complain but she hasnt. Get over yourself.

Maybe cos some people just like to hear other peoples stories? It doesn't have to be Shakespeare just a snippet of something is fine sometimes.
If you dont like it or you are too
'Intelligent' to want to read something then dont. Its really that simple.

I don't see this as a 'boasting' thread, people are just responding to a question posed by the OP.
Some people can start an argument with themselves!

DP used to work with Sturgeon; said she's lovely.

Tess daly, was absolutely vile to me over the phone, never liked her since and she often pops up in these threads so I don’t think to a one off. Very much a don’t you know who I am kind of person.

Ulrika on the other hand, warm, funny, friendly and when I thanked her for her time and honesty admitted I’d caught her on a good day

I've had lunch with Gloria Hunniford. Absolutely lovely warm lady.

I've also been bought a drink by Lemmy. He was utterly lovely.

Marco Pierre White let a door go in my face. Very rude. His mate apologised for him and held the door open for me charmingly. It was Gordon Ramsay

Austin Healey was one of the rudest people I ever met.

@Teddy1970 I see you felt the same about AH

A few, mainly politicians, most v ordinary but these people stood out
D Milliband - awful
Betty boothroyd - amazing
John Bercow - open minded, down to earth
Alistair Campbell - down to earth
John Snow - arrogant
Boris Johnson - seemed uncomfortable with us plebs on the tube
Mick Hucknall - prick trying to be ‘different’
Salman Rushdie - looks at you like he’s trodden in shit

David Beckham nice but dim and dull

Victoria Beckham quite funny and smarter than her husband I know many question what he sees in her but I wonder how she doesn’t get bored of him

John McCririck was lying on a sunbed far too close to me at a hotel in Vegas on the day he was fired from C4, merrily farting and snoring the afternoon away. Didn't seem to be as devastated as he made out he was to the press (

Tore André Flo - Football player for Chelsea at the time. We took our 6 month old son swimming to the local pool when him & his wife brought their baby boy into the baby pool. We were chatting away like parents of new babies do, as I had no idea who he was. All of a sudden all of the lifeguards were taking an interest & trying to talk to him. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. My DH told me who he was once they had left the pool.

Corey Taylor from Slipknot/Stone Sour is such a lovely bloke too.

Mark Foster got my friend kicked out of a swimming pool once. The elite athletes "studying" at Bath University are allowed to use the sports facilities whenever they want and can do this, apparently.

Martin Amis is so much of an arse it's almost like a parody. He slams doors in people's faces and tries to spark up fags indoors, then complains when he's told not to.

I've never met her, but Diana Rigg is another one whose malice is legendary in the industry I work in.

More workmate chat - Joan Collins is rather dramatic and diva-ish, but not malicious with it.

If you’re memorising other posters’ names in order to cherish grudges against people you’ve never met, Missionit’spossible, I don’t think that an online forum is the best place for you.

For the benefit of everybody who thinks this thread is about ‘tell us about when you bumped into Steve Davis or other minusule celebrities in the street and thought they were marvellous’, the OP is quite clear. It says, ‘Have you ever met anyone famous and felt so let down by them in real life, such as they were an arse’. That’s quite clear, I think.

I am laughing at the statement that I am “annoyed that people can be famous and actually nice at the same time”. No, love, I’m not, because I’m capable of logical thought. But I do think it’s silly when people can’t read an OP and pile into a thread with off-topic stuff when it’s got nothing to do with the question, just because it satisfies their own need to boast and bore people with their irrelevant stories. It’s not nice having that pointed out, though, is it, which is why you have reacted so spitefully.

I don't need to memorise your name, it's plastered over this thread. Do you know how an online forum works?

Anyway, you've derailed this thread enough and I wish to be no part of it.

Yes
Dated a guy in a band,and when we were out girls would come over & chat him up.
They’d pass him their number,try flirt, all brazenly in front of me. Outrageous chancers
to his credit he was a total impervious to it and didn’t act on it at all
He moved away to Ldn and is still a big deal.very talented & charming man

Bore off Nettle, if this thread irritates you so much perhaps take yourself and your pearls off somewhere else.

Met a fair few celebs and not felt "let down" by any of them.

Bruce Foxton was the nicest though.

Eamonn Holmes (yes really) is a thoroughly nice chap, won't have a word said against him.

Bobby Robson - legend. Can't really find the words.

Joan Collins was extremely sweet and appreciative to me for doing something minor for her as part of my job.

I’m glad Bruce Foxton was nice. He always looks slightly uncomfortable, which makes me want to give him a reassuring pat.

I was walking towards my car in a car park when Cherie Blair walked towards me. There was no space for two people to to pass between two cars so her body guard smashed me into the side of a car so she could get past. I was livid as I was already between the cars before she came along. I did shout "rude" at her but she didn't even turn around. Horrible woman.
