I've met the lass who used to play Violet in Corrie a quite a few times over the years

[t8yman]

[ampersand]

Paolo Nutini,

[jump]

Speaking of girls from soaps by mate went out drinking and he's in a group with a few pretty but f**king boring girls so he goes outside and says "what's with these girls, they're like cupboard cut outs from Hollyoaks" to which he gets the response "4 of them are from Hollyoaks"

[Josie's Cat]

Never really met anyone famous but I'd like to meet Robert Downey Jr and Iggy Pop. And maybe the guy who plays Kenneth from 30 Rock, I'd ask him to show me the Donkey Spell.

Of the list of people others have met I would choose Joan Rivers, she's ace plus she called Russell Crowe a c**t on tv. Bill Clinton close second.

[Steve P]

she is your sister.

(isnt she?)

[ampersand]

Yeah, and calling her famous is stretching it a lot. Awful girl

I've met Andy Cairns (Therapy? guitarist) several times, he's a fantastic bloke.

[Steve P]

have you ever met simon gregson? or jack p shepherd? or jimi off of dev?

or did you never get involved in her work?

[ampersand]

I did go round the set once. Don't drink the ale that comes out of the pumps in the rovers, it tastes almost as bad as real ale. The only other actors from it I met were Tina O'Brien (who really is stunning), Anthony Cotton and Rupert Hill.

[Steve P]

i guessed you'd have met him i don't like him though. who's rupert hill?

[ampersand]

He was Jamie Baldwin. More importantly he's the father of my little niece

I met Simon Amstell outside a Coldplay gig at Earls Court in 2003. He was doing a bit for T4 and had to reshoot it as my mate shouted "look lads, its that curly haired twat from T4", he did not look amused

Also met Serge and Tom from Kasabian at V2004, they played really low down on the second stage and LSF had only just come out. Me and my brother went to watch them and then went to watch someone on the mainstage, walking back to the the second stage and we werent looking where we were going and bumped into two fellas and beer went flying everywhere. Turned out to be Tom and Serge, all soaked we started laughing I told them I really enjoyed the set, Tom then asked if we were there for the full weekend, we said yes to which Tom replied something along the lines of "have a great one and make sure your flying by the end of the night"...Really cool guys back then, bet theyve got some right attitude nowadays.

Anyone on Wiki or Google images could be considered famous in my book.

Her Wikipedia page in particular is an interesting read.

I've met numerous famous folks over the years but the ones who stood out...

I met Bruce Dickenson when I was 15 or something. My pals were around him and he was talking away to them and realised I wasn't saying anything. He must of thought I was star struck or something and said something like 'are you a maiden fan then?' or something and I replied 'yous are alright' to which he looked a bit bemused. My friend loved him so went up and got him a drink, he went up and said 'here man I got you this' and then just walked away cause he was too shy to talk to him!

Backstage at Download two years ago I met the bassist from Fightstar. I was chatting away saying I'd seen them quite a few times and said they were always good live. They had played a gig in Glasgow that I had seen them (XFM winter wonderland with Stereophonics headlining, the crowd weren't into them at all and were just standing still). I brought that gig up and said 'do you remember it', he said 'yeah that was so good, such an awsome gig' and I replied 'nah it wasn't man, the crowd were shit when you guys were on'. I didn't realise how much a prick that made me sound and he just went 'ah I've got to go' and walked away.

One time that didn't end in disaster, we found a backstage pass for CSS in the Barras lying on the ground on the way in. I went up and gave it to the guy from CSS who was behind the tshirt stand. He was so relieved (think it was their pal who lost it) and he gave us free drink, free tshirts and invited us to the aftershow. We didn't buy drinks all night, we got them bought from us from the bassist out of Franz Ferdinand and the guitarist who were well nice guys. Sat next to the two of them, the guy from CSS and some members of the 1990s!
