I have met numerous world famous people during my long life, but the most notorious has to have been Jimmy savile at an event in the mid 1990s; he was five stunning women and had the patter of an experienced bluffer.

He knew what to say to appeal on a geographical basis, compounded by an assumption about who that person's football hero would be; iny case George Best. But I have zero interest in soccer.

Fundamentally he was a sleazy ingratiator. I spent well over an hour with him, but he did not positively impress me, and he knew it.

He was adulated for decades and was a skilled manipulator; he hoodwinked the entire country, from the highest to the lowest.

From the future monarch to Prime Ministers to millions of young guys and gals. But many people did see through him, but were afraid to speak out.

He threatened hundreds with civil litigation about slander and libel.

His exposure has been a watershed in the exposure of celebrity abusers, paedophiles and paraphiliacs.

Who was the person who impressed you most and why?

What life lessons did you learn that you were able to apply?

Who was the most attractive, or the least attractive?

Who was least impressed by their exalted media image?

My questions are serious ones.

I met most of the members of the Grimaldi family in London; the matriarch, a former beauty queen and movie star was approachable, intelligent and oozed sexuality. Her three children were aghast at my audaciousness in approaching their mother, who was open and honest about her Irish ancestry in County Mayo, before the Gorta Mor.

I was once staying a very plush hotel in Leeds, where a very famous English soccer player was also staying; in the lounge/foyer area crowds of people were swarming around him as he sat on the sofa next to me, and asking him for his autograph and for permission to be photographed with him.

I asked the people whom I was with, who also briefly spoke to him, right next to me, if the person was very famous. They seemed surprised at my query and confirmed that he was.

His name was never mentioned to me, I did not recognise him, but I suppose I could say I briefly met a very famous English soccer player, anonymously!

I have met hundreds of so- called famous people throughout my life including many whose names would recognised internationally.

The nicest people were those who realised their fame was an accident of history, or a result of a special talent that had catapulted them temporarily into public view via the broadcast media.

They were making the most of their fifteen minutes of same, but the majority whom I met did not have lives that were significantly different from mine.

Key to happiness and contentment is not to compare yourself with others, and be grateful for what you have, especially your health.
