How many of you have met famous people and who was they and how did you meet them?

Just a few weeks ago bobby ball came into our shop just before he went into the jungle, a few people found him rather grumpy!!

Today Colleen Nolan came into the shop she looked like she had lost some weight and was lovely very chatty.

What are your claims to fame and who were the people you have met and what did you think of them?
 
Princess Diana-lovely
James Hewitt- horrid.
Bill Clinton- funny.
Mike Tyson-charming.
Paul O'Grady- hilarious but shy one on one.
David Bowie-reserved.
Brian Ferry-flirty.
Ronnie Corbert- hysterical.
The Queen-little and nice.
Ian McKellen-lovely.
Peter Ustinov-caring.
Boy George-mental but nice.
Francois Mitterand- nice.
Rupert Everett-no comment.

There are loads more I've met either through work or socially when I lived in London. It's funny I've just come back from the chiropodist and she was after gossip about who I knew in London. The most shocking tale I can't tell, although Harwood Red got it out of me on Saturday.

My first day at work in London I met Princess Anne, the exiled King of Greece, and Audrey Hepburn. The novelty soon wore off and you realise that famous people are just the same as the rest of us, good, bad or somewhere inbetween.
 
cannon and ball opened up variety video on broadway i met them then i think it was around 1982

met quite a few people but my proudest moment was telling worzel gummage ( john pertwee) to go F*** himself after arrogantly telling my little brother he dosnt give autographs because he cant write when he attended the accy carnival. back in them days no one was allowed to make my little brother cry except me :mad:

You should have just pulled his head off, and made him wear his happy one, then I'm sure old Wurzel would have been as nice as pie.;)

That's very funny for you.

I was half tempted to give you karma, but decided against if for the use of the asterixed f-word.
 
Mmmm, let me see....

I met Lenny Henry at a pantomime in Middleton just before he hit the big time.....I was the kiddie from the audience who had to go on stage with him and his fellow cast member to help them with a magic trick..:D

I met Frank Carson on the prom in Blackpool when I was on a drunken night out with my mate Julie. He stopped for a chat and was lovely.

I have met Celia Imrie (Acorn Antiques) and Phil Cool at work, both lovely and Phil Cool donated several tickets to us so that some of the staff could go to his show.:D
 
Ooooh, forgot to include Peter Shilton who I met in a bar in Leicester when I was out with my cousin. He was ever so slightly drunk but polite...:)
 
Michael LeVell (kevin webster) off Corrie when he opened a xmas fair he was given a red rose by a young girl and said 'I had a row with the girlfriend last night so this should put me in her good books again!

Chastity from Emerdale When she had a go at stockcar racing.
Les Battersby & Kirk when they tried banger racing at Belle Vue
Charity & Dawn again at stockcar racing & Camilla Parker Bowles niece when she raced a rebel at Northampton earlier this year and the Queen in Preston

A few more I remembered, Pat Pheonix gave me a kiss so I'm told when I was 3 We were at Melbourne st bus station Accy
During Niel Kinnocks election campaign I met Gerald Kauffman and to everyones horror I pointed him in the direction of the kitchen when he asked for a cuppa. I also met Jack Straw not much to tell & Richard Wilson who was extremely funny

OK here's my list. it doesn't glitter in quite the same way as G's but, then, I always was a bit of a shrinking violet.

HM The Queen, though I wasn't actually presented, she did smile.

Prince Edward - Dull!
Edward Fox - I nearly knocked him into a hole in the road.
Roy Strong - operatic and ridiculous.
Geoffrey Bernard - lovely, sweet and polite despite being very drunk.
David Hockney - I could not stop laughing.
The late Basil Hume - one of the few Catholic Prelates I have any respect for.
Mel Calman - cartoonist - odd, dry and quite witty.
Rudolph Nureyev - no comment, not now, not ever!
The American chap who did the voice over for the Heineken adverts, name escapes me. Always wore a black stetson hat.
Glennis Kinnock - snootier than the Duchess of Argyl.:eek:
Jonathan Miller - clever but bigoted.
Dennis Norden - sharper than I expected.
Timothy West - likes women with large appendages, apparently.
John Mortimer - prefers his women to be a deal stricter, allegedly.
Kenny Everett - lovely and brilliant.
Freddy Mercury - couldn't stand him, the rest of the band were nice though.

Oh and the very late Violet Carson.

Lol, go on share the Nureyev story as you did with me.;)

Totally agree about the little prick Roy Strong. We had an argument about a Missonni sweater. I won. Expert my arse.
 
Freddie, Kenny? What pubs did you go to in London? Perhaps I've seen you after all. Did you wear full leather?

David Hockney picked me up in Armarni in Milan and took me for tea and things.

We have so much in common why don't we get on better?;)
 
This is my list

Martin Platt walked past in Manchester.

Gail Tilsley in Kendals in Manchester i was buying some makeup and i was star struck - she talks very posh to.

I know David Dunn very well. Not that well though. ha

Max off brookside

Not as good as some peoples.

:mad: Oh jack straw once came into m&s and asked me were the sausages were and he didnt even say thankyou.

Karl foggaty and the policeman off Born and bred he is lovely.:)
 
I met the band Match Box back stage at the Guild Hall in Preston.
We saw Fizz out of Corrie on Preston Market.
Also Vicky Entwistle who plays Janice in the old Mcdonalds.
We didn't speak to her because she looked like she was in a terrible mood.
 
As a child in very early 80's I used to swim with Duncan Goodhew and Sharon Davies but obviously was nowhere near as good.

Had some footy coaching from (now I get mixed up) either Jack or Bobby Charlton in Mid 80's.

Have met various bands, singers etc during my time at KGH but my fave was Robbie Williams who gave me a kiss on the cheek and when I asked did he still moonie at every chance he could get, he answered by duly dropping his pants!!! :o So you could say Robbie Williams dropped his pants for me :D

will add any if they come to mind!!!
 
met the late george best when i was walking down manchester rd. one morning,he pulled up in an E-type jag and asked me if i knew where E J Rileys was- as it was around the corner from our house i said yeh give us a lift down i'll show you, when we were going up meadow st i said drop me at the royal oak- he said i'll come in with you for a quick one which he did and he paid lol found him a great bloke and i never mentioned football once(which was hard for me) also met marc bolan and mickey finn in the ribblesdale in blackburn - but thats another story lol:)
