Who is the most famous person you have seen or met even.

The other day whilst I was waiting outside Earls Court, meeting my son (WWE wrestling event) Shane Warne the Australian cricketer stood right beside me for 10 minutes or so with 3 or 4 other Aussie types, they were waiting for a car to pick them up. I did'nt like to ask for an autograph or take a picture on me phone.

Other than that I have only seen minor celebs.

I went out on the booze with Johann Cruyff in Pisa, Italy whilst on Holiday. He was sat at the table next to me and my friend as we were having dinner and we got chatting. He was with another chap who we now suspect to be another Dutch footballer. It's funny because neither of us had a clue who he was, me not being a football fan and my friend being a girl. It was only when my friend saw him on TV during the world cup we found out he was one of the greatest footballers of all time!

I should of twigged when he said he played football in Holland and that his son played for Man U but we were all absolutely slaughtered by that time Laughing I have his phone number somewhere...

Shook Wayne Hussey by the throat when he tried to pinch my cigs.

Argued with Lisa Stansfield at a petrol station in Sheffield when she tried to to jump the queue. (Fucking cow, go on then, see who gets most pissed off when my old Celica makes contact with your shiny jeep.)

Met a fair few. Seen an awful lot more. Longest I've spent socialising with a "famous" type would be Rolf Harris though, spent an evening with him and a few friends after meeting him post gig. Sound guy.

Aside from that:
Brian May
George Harrison
Michael Heseltine

Aside from those, also met Oliver Reeds' son at a variety of bike rallies (then again, an awful lot of people have. Really nice guy) and spent a memorable evening getting to know someone who I later discovered was David Gilmours' daughter Smile

Desmond Llewelyn (Q from james bond films) lived about 2 minutes away from me. saw him quite frequently. don't know who owns his pwn house now.
met, hugged and got our tickets signed by Claudio Sanchez (lead singer from coheed & cambria) 2 years ago before a gig at londons astoria. then caught the drumstick that was thrown out by coheed. and mai who was a support act.
shortly after on the same day, saw that guy who played bombhead in hollyoaks.

As a kid, we spent weeks and weeks drawing and colouring in Union Jack flags then sticking them to luminous yellow forks. I had no idea why until we marched out and were arranged in a line on the footpath of the main road and a shed load of motorbike police and car police went past.

About 10 minutes of this later, the mayor in his car went past and I assumed this was what we'd made flags for so I started go "wooo!! yeah!!" and waving my flag around by myself.

The a few cars later, the Queen drove past! Shocked Well she wasn't driving, she was driven past! Shocked

That was the time I should have been waving my flag around. Everyone else did, I just stared at her as she went by.

About 10 more minutes of police vehicles later and the excitement was all over.

I've met Niall McKenzie and some other famous racer at the NEC bike show once but I didn't get the other one's signature so I can't remember who he was. Embarassed

I've made it my mission to meet Martin Henderson. I absolutely have to meet him, though I expect if I ever do, I would probably just faint there and then, struck down by his striking good looks and smile! Mr. Green ::swoons::

EDIT: Bollocks, how could I forget? I met all of the Franz Ferdinand guys, got three autographs and a load of pictures. I also knocked one of the guy's beer's over. Neutral Doh! But someone else knocked over Alex's beer so I didn't feel left out.

I've sold T-shirts to Boy George at a Radiohead gig (at CIA in Cardiff) and Jimmy White (snooker) at a Rolling Stones gig in Brixton.

Had a drink with Iron Maiden at one of their gigs in Newport.

I met Luis Guzman in a bar in Puerto Rico. None of us knew his name but knew his face, wouldn't have met him apart from my slightly drunk mate went up to him and said - "'Ello mate, you're famous aren't ya? We then spent the rest of the night drinking rum and smoking cigars Cool . Also been on the piss with Warney and KP and a couple of other members of the Hants cricket team - and they're piss taking bastards, but very funny all the same. Shane Warne can come up with put downs that you cannot respond to and are hugely funny all at the same time.
