Ever met any celebs?
 

always interesting to hear stories of people with celebrities.
Nearly everyone has a story like that, what's yours?


When I was seven, I met our Bundespräsident (head of state, like your Queen....ish) Richard von Weizsäcker. He gave a speech at our city and my grandma took me to the stage to shake his hand (didnt want to, lol)
best one so far...

i met you... not sure if i'll ever recover from that...

met eddie irvine, when he was driving for ferrari in F1

Pat Jennings (Ex Arsenal and N Ireland goalkeeper) at Buckingham Palace ... received his OBE the same day my dad was awarded his MBE near enough 30 years ago.

Noddy Holder from Slade in the Tesco that I used to use near Macclesfield.

Morten Harkett (of A-Ha fame) spilt my pint in Harrogate at the "height" of their fame.

There are others "famous" people that I've met that I admire for what they have achieved in their lives but they're not really celebrities as such.

Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards once came into a shop I was working in and tried to get some freebies because he was 'famous' - bearing in mind this was the mid-nineties and he hadn't been even remotely famous for years..

And I once saw Dame Norma Major two checkouts over from me in Tesco in Huntingdon, which is the nearest large-ish town to where she lives just up the road from me.

My hubby once worked with Jeff Banks too..

I forgot .. played a couple of frames of snooker with Bill Werbeniuk once, the game ended one all and we never got to the decider as the snooker clubs owner wanted to shut the place up.

I forgot Scooby!!!! I also met Wellington the Womble but i wasn't impressed i wanted to meet Orinocco!!!

A few years ago we went to Malta on holiday and Status Quo were doing a concert on the island while we were there. The band were staying at the same hotel as us and they stayed for a few days to have a break in the sun with their families.

It was very funny to see Francis Rossi swimming lengths of the pool wearing a swimming cap to protect his hair! And Rick Parfitt was parading about in tiny leopardskin trunks.

I didn't see anyone bothering them. In fact we seemed to be the only ones who approached them to ask if we could take a photo. They were very nice and friendly. I'm not going to post the photos though to spare you all the sight of Francis in swimming cap, Rick in leapordskin trunks and me in bikini :lol:

Donald Trump?????
tell!!

I used to work for the company that was running Real Estate Expos all over the country.

They booked him for 3 appearances each 1/2 hour each one million dollars...and now you know how to make money too...

So...we were working Expo...he was working it too...sort of...he is ok guy...actually we did take time to listen to his 1/2 hour lecture...it was very decent and not at all boring as those things can be...

I actually like him...

Forgot to mention that I also met;
Paul Jones
Alan Price
Jane Torville and Christopher Dean

Sure there are more that have escaped my memory at the moment...

I have met Prince Charles in 1989 when he was opening a factory near by and i was chosen to represent my school. Made some remarke about my parker being nice. lol
Also bumped into Liam Gallagher in Sheffield bar and he started singing in a crappy geordie accent.
Also my favourite was Alan Shearer who was at a local hospital when my mam was there, nice bloke got a few picture's and autograph.
Also Bobby Pattison comes into my work all the time but i guess not many will know who he is.
