Who's the most famous person you've met?

[jampot]

I've met Willie Carson when he came to the firm of sols I was working at and used to know a Blues player who bought me a bottle of champagne when I passed my driving test.... no-one interesting though...

what does it explain popsycal?

Also just remembered years ago when had houseshare we would have parties and Simple Minds came once. But I can't remember any of their songs though...

OOhhh..how much do you reckon i'd get...????

allyco - sorry i am being cryptic

don't worry!!
lol

£2.50 and a can of Tennants. 2 cans if you pose topless.

Only kidding

How much do you think kiss 'n' tellers get generally?

I used to work at Harrods so met a few famous (ish) people there:

Ronnie Corbett (food processor)
Jim Davidson (Dualit toaster)
Bryan Adams (lightbulbs)
Jackie Collins (diary)
Pierce Brosnan (he opened the sale and once worked there for the summer)

Also saw the back of Princess Diana's head over the top of about 20 minders

From my actress days, worked on Corrie (only a week) and Emmerdale (about 4-5 months) so met a few, so long ago now they are mostly gone

Never snogged any though! (not in real life anyway, only when acting and believe me, that doesn't count!!!)

That sounds good to me!!!! And i reckon they'd pay me more to keep my top on.........

Actually - also Charlotte Martin from Emmerdale (think she plays Susan)

You're not a member of the Mumsnet Big Knockers club then Womba?

I'm so impressed that Bryan Adams buys his own lightbulbs. Now that's what Mumsnet is for - fascinating trivia I can use over dinner.

I'm not Wilbur no....i could be i suppose..but you know....bf and all that has taken it's toll!!

If i wanted to flash them...i'd have to lift my skirt up....

Hows this for scraping the barrel? - Had lunch on the next table to Richard Hammond from Top Gear on Saturday and stood next to Norman Wisdon at the Motor Show Today.

Not only that Wilbur, but it wasn't long after his "Everything I do, I do it for you" (Robin Hood theme) was in the chart for 47 years, so he was mega famous at the time. We were all fighting to serve him (well apart from me, naturally, I kept my usual calm serenity uppermost ....

saw jeanne moreau in bordeanu years ago actually..
a nd saw mick hicknall and soem bloke from the rolign stones and sam fox at " brwons" on horrible hen do ( my own)

all small in real life

The late great Joe Strummer at a rock against the rich gig in the 80's.

Not brilliant, but I've met:

Let Loose (old pop group) (sat in their tour bus)
Janis Long (radio DJ)
Lenny Henry
Rowan Atkinson
Shugs (from Madness)
Karren Brady (Birmingham city Football Manager) & Her hubby Pesc??
Sat on Barry Fry's knee (ex Birmingham city Manager)

Couple of famous cricketers, but can remember their names, oops

Told Bobby Davro to move out of my seat at a bowling alley in Portugal (tee hee in April 2004)

Cant think of anymore at the moment, but if I do I'll be back to post

did you tell bobby davros to eff off too?

Womba - am soooo jealous! Wossy always came into the bookshop I worked in and was lovely but he never stuck his tongue down my throat (maybe I looked too busy and important??)

Have been in a lift in Harvey Nicks with Liam Gallagher. Used to drink in the same pub as Chris Evans (oh, lucky me). Nicked Mark Lamarr's drink in the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh one drunken Festival. Once drunkenly asked Oz Clark at a launch party for some wine book he'd written what was better, white wine or red wine. Brian Turner (fat chef bloke) waited on me in his restaurant.

Have just realised all mine seem to involve being pissed...

Am sure there are more!

In my late teens I volunteered with the St Andrews ambulance first aid, going to concerts etc. I got a lovely kiss from that singer in Stone Roses as a thank you (it was a concert in a tent in Glasgow Green and we had a portacabin near their dressing, um, cabin.) That was actually a good way to meet bands, unless they played the SECC where they never deigned to cast eyes on us "helpers."

The Rolling Stones were the only ones who paid us.

I also met Eunice Shriver (Arnold Schwarznegger's MIL or JFKs baby sister depending on how you look at thing.)

When I worked at Glasgow Airport I used to check in footie players and would drive then boyfriends insane by not remembering names or details.

Furball - DH and I were trying to figure out how tall/shorty Richard Hammond is in RL. DH reckons 5'7" but I reckon 5'8". What do you reckon ?!

I've met .....

Phil Bennett

• Apparently a MEGA famous Welsh rugby player. It was at a Sportsmans Dinner (my ex was a sound and lighting engineer) and my opening line to him was (wait for it..) "What do you do, then ?" !! My ex and my now H both found/find it totally ludicrous !!!

Nicholas Parsons

• Another Dinner.

Geoff Hurst

• 1966 World Cup bloke. Asked him to carry a plate of vol au vents through to the living room at a party at my ex PIL's house

A few more sportsmen.

My Mum (aged 17) was propositioned by the main bloke from the Buzzcocks in a club toilet in Manchester, she said no. She was also proposed to by Brian Kidd, footie manager, she also said no and went on to marry my pr*ck of a father the abusive alcoholic waste of skin !

Moomin....are you insinuating that i looked unimportant and bored??????

I probably was...but Wossy certainly put a smile back on my face......

Jeffrey & Mary Archer at a wedding - chatted to them

Gareth Southgate
Chris waddle
Stuart Pearce (all footballers)

Chris Bonnington, when I was about 6, and he came for tea at my best friend's house (used to climb with her Dad)

Lee Hurst (comedian)

I've just come back from 2 weeks in Majorca and saw Jasper Carrot coming out of a hotel in Palma.

no, just pathetically trying to justify his complete lack of tongue action in my direction...sigh...
