Who have you seen?

[kickstart 1]

An earlier thread got me to thinking, who have you met/seen/talked too thats famous? (Dont want to get a reputation as a serial thread starter, but from time to time some lighthearted banter passes the day and gives everyone a chance to comment!)My claim to fame is meeting ,er ,dare i say..Mr David "cheap as chips" Dickinson , and yes he's just as orange in real life

Do the Hexus staff count?

Saracen from Gladiators handed me my N64 championship Cheque. He was built to the max. But sucked at Soul Caliber.

I've seen Max from hollyoaks (not sure of his real name) he was in york minster when i was working, using his mobile which you aren't aloud to, i didn't dare telling him not to use it inside though. Arthur Smith has also been in - one of the guys from grumpy old men. Apparently Russell Crowe visited early one morning too, but i wasn't working that day.

Mitch Pileggi and Nicholas Lea (aka Skinner and Krycek from The X-Files), Terry Scott and June Whitfield (helped film an episode of Terry & June when I was a kid) and a few others of 1980s TV fame (Bob Carolgees to name but one!)

How cool am I?!?!

My Dad made armour for a lot of famous people (including Jackie Chan) because he (and some of my friends) used to work in films (Bond, Gladiator, A Knight's Tale to name but three) but he would always turn down the chance to meet any of the stars (he's not star-struck in any way.)

A mate of mine used to go to a lot of the pro-celebrity golf tournaments when he was younger so he's met a ton of a-listers and another friend was involved in legal representation in Hollywood and so he met another load of famous types.. he said the nicest guy in Hollywood was Jim (not John) Belushi. The nastiest (in his opinion) was called Jack and had a surname which sounded something like Ikkleson. (Allegedly). He said he was something which sounded like "A compleat grasshole." (Allegedly)

Chris Fountain (Justin from Hollyoaks) was up at Lincoln Uni a few weeks ago doing something at one of the clubs. He got talking with one of my girlfriends flatmates and started walking back to the flat and then started to act like an idiot by dancing and showing off to passers by, in the end Vikki (her flat mate) told him to disappear (using harsher words). Was quite funny.

Also I've met John Kettley He came into a shop I used to work in, saw my badge and complemented on my name (My surname is Wetherman). I then said 'Thanks John Kettle!"....

For the record, Hollyoakers aren't famous.

Anyone met John Tickle? That'd be legendary. The man who walked on Custard.

I used to live in the same town as John Tickle and knew of him rather knew him. I know live a little further away, 2 miles!

I have met and spoken to the Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, woo to me. But in all seriousness I haven't met anyone really famous, I have seen Richard E Grant a Waterloo wearing hippy trousers...all that money and no style.

Wayne Rooney at an Ace Of Clubs night having a boogy to to upfront and funky house music.

Tyrone from Corrie - he knows a few of the lads I see in the pub occasionally so when I've popped in for a swift pint before going out I've said hello etc.

Liz from Corrie - She owns a pub near my mates house.

Fatboy Slim - He was in the VIP tent @ Creamfields 2 years ago when I was in there ligging it up with the drinks

[Tumble]

Nigel Mansell - at Ronaldsway airport here on the Isle of Man, in 1989.


EDIT: Oh!! I forgot.... I met Chesney Hawkes, rock legend at Aberystwyth Uni

[Grm]

I met Roy Walker when i was working at morrisons. Served him his chicken. Didnt know it was him until someone had told me. I also met Roy James (great train robber) He was a friend of my dads.

[Funkstar]

Got speaking to the lead singer of Reef (remember them?) after a gig at the Lemon Tree here in Aberdeen. Seemed like a nice enough guy. Was asking us where was good for night out in the city. I had no idea, think i was 17 at the time and didn't know good pubs etc. Got my ticket stub signed though

[Clunk]

I was a bridesmaid at Molly Sugden's wedding.

[Tom Scott]

I've met Ruud Gullit, and Alan Shearer, I was in the directors box at Newcastle United. Sat next to Estelle Cruyf (Estelle Gullit now) there as well, she was a bit tasty.

Martin Johnson came in to get his phone from me last year. Some other premiership footballers who have got BlackBerrys from me but no names are allowed to be mentioned.

Went to a house party at one of the Kasabian peoples house a while back as well but I was so drunk they may have been there they may have not, who knows!

I once interviewed ASH and then went to a rock 'n roll private party (in fact I took a wee in the sink whilst Tim (lead singer) was washing his hands next to me, I thought it was the urinals (well they looked like troughs). Also met Antony Worral Thompson, Phil Jupitus, Ian Wright and loads of other footballers over the years. I'm sure here's been a number of other rubbish celebs but their names escape me.

My mum's second cousin is Cilla Black. lol
