Eamon Holmes - getting heckled by a pile of drunken irish preston north end supporters well he was wearing man utd shirt and scarf he was heckled all the way from manchester to belfast and we were delayed! It was funny! If though he'd have had a laugh with them and treated it as a joke he wouldnt have got heckled all the way - he stuck his nose up in the air and totally ignored everybody a little kid asked for his autograph and he said no that made the hecklers worse!
John Barnes and Phil Neal also going to Belfast they were going on a training session with some kids. Ted Robbins comes into were i work sometimes. I've met a whole pile of labour mp's over the years. Even got a photo of me shaking tony blairs hand.

Les Dawson – in St Annes when I was about 10 - he was trying to have a quiet night with his family and don't think he appreciated my Grandad telling him jokes!
Ted Robbins - funny and barking mad
Sally Naden - equally barking but lovely
Jim Bowen - equally barking, must be something about working for Radio Lancs
Eamonn Holmes – took part in TV Scrabble (before you laugh I made it to the final but just lost out)
Naomi Cleaver – TV style guru - lovely and down to earth, not like I expected
Have interviewed
Keith Duffy – very charming
Dave Spikey – so funny, I asked one question and he just talked at me for half an hour
Joe Brown - bit grumpy
Marty Wilde - lovely and happy to chat about absolutely anything
Brendan Shine - also very charming - must be the Irish thing!
Anthony Wilson as he now likes to call himself -
Plus, quite a lot of bands around in Manchester during the mid 80s (too many to mention) – part of the Hacienda scene!

lettie said: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...
I was invited to lunch with Peter a fortnight ago but had some inportant work to do, still I'm on the guest list with that company from now on.
I went to school with Vicky Entwistle(same class)
Told Ted Robbins jokes and made him laugh
Met Phyllis from Corrie years ago(Blue rinse!)
Numerous others that esacpe me at the moment.
TBH I find celebs to be in one of two camps, either genuine and nice or stuck up attention seeking prats. I would take no qualms in telling the latter what I thought either
Errrr can someone explain why I would lose karma for saying I swam with Duncan Goodhew??? No name left and to be quite honest quite an offensive message left aswell... so to whoever left it...
GET A GRIP!!!
GET A GRIP!!!
I forgot 1 When I ran a pub in Worsley Ryan Giggs used to park his Aston Martin on our car park every monday morning.
My ex used to drive taxis and he got a call to deliver a take away to ex Manu David May's house, who opened the door?... David Beckham who said keep the change which was about £25

Lol it's catching, because I said Vitty was going to do an article about the low gate at Stanley, and had some deducted for being the w***er of the week.
Unsigned of course. Boo hoo.
Do you think it was a non-swimer, or someone bitter about hair loss?
Who cares Merry Christmas weaklings.
we have been on a few cruises and you sort of meet the artists about the ship.....the nicest chap you could meet was jimmy cricket.. he had everyone in stiches for the whole time he was there (they dont do the full amount of days ,they swop ships in port )a lot of others did what they had to do and couldent be bothered socalising...richard whiteley and his partner kathryn apanavich were very nice too..but we realy got on with iris williams and her partner peter...she seemed to turn up where ever we were ,,,even in the booze dept in safeways in gibralta,,,i dont know who had the most booze, them or us,,we spent 20 minuets discussing which were the best bargains...and just like a normal mum she was concerned about the spending habits at university of her son blake........no change there then .lol
Not really met many celebs. Just trying to think who I have.
Hmmm .... Yes, John Pertwee when it was the carnival.
Vicky Entwistle in ASDA - miserable madame is that!
All the Most Haunted crew, Evette Fielding, (the gorgeous) Karl Beattie, Richard Felix and Derek Ackorah.
Alot of the Man Utd team. Beckham seemed a nice guy. The only one who had me a little star struck was Teddy Sheringham, he's absolutely gorgeous off screen, I was really surprised and Dwight Yorks smile I could have sat and stared at for hours.
Is that it? ........... I think it is! If I've mised anyone they can't have made a good impression.

I dont think people would feel as bad if they left their name i always leave mine good or bad. And would like others to do the same.
Can't think why they would take karma for that though!
I see a lot when I'm travelling, famous people seem to hang around a lot in airports.
The only famous person I've probably met and had a conversation with is Howard Marks, most people probably have never heard of him, but I had and I'd just read his book about a month or so before so I felt like I knew him. If I remember rightly we where both delayed in brussels thanks to that old pants airline that was sabena. I have since met him twice here in moscow at a couple of bars...
I have vague memories of meeting dennis taylor and a few others at a snooker tournament at Hyndburn sports centre..
And there is another one, but my memory is pants so I can't remember the name, some famous american rock bloke headlined at a festival in moscow and he came to my local first and we ended up with tickets to the mosh pit!

Dennis Waterman..briefly.

I get a bit baffled by people who deduct karma. I got some deducted the other day as well!
i have given some back.because when it happened to me i brooded for days,,,,,Gayle said:

Don't mind deductions if they put their name or I have posted something controversial... anyway thanks to all those who have sent me karma, I appreciate it, have pm'd you my thanks except one who didn't leave their name.
Now I think it's best we get back to the original thread before I get my hand smacked for sending you off wandering
I met Jasper Carrot before he became famous, when he was doing the Folk Clubs. I also knew the actor Ian McShane, when we were both children, as my dad was friendly with his dad, the footballer Harry McShane.
Older members may remember a BBC radio sports reporter, in the 1950s, called Tom Naseby who had a wonderful "dark brown" voice. My dad knew him and he came to our house one New Year. I was so disappointed that this man, whose voice made him sound like a film star, was short, fat and balding. He looked a lot like Norris Cole from Corrie - but fatter.
In my job I met a lot of the actors who were in "Brookside" on Channel 4 (Barry Grant was a sweetheart and "Sinbad" became almost a mate) and I was on "Good Morning" terms with Bobby Charlton when he used to live in our village. We have Matthew Corbett (Sooty) here now and he's a nice bloke. I also stood next to Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin) in our post office when he lived here. He's a lot better looking than on the telly, but very short!
My daughter had a brief conversation with Jimmy Tarbuck in the Trafford Centre, when she accidentally elbowed him in the gut, and my son knows Stuart Hall very well. Dennis Taylor used to live 3 doors away from one of my brothers.
My biggest claim to fame is my mother's cousin's cousin. She was the actress Patrice Wymore and was married to Errol Flynn. Unfortunately, I never met her.
