Dunboyne & Dublin

Met loads but Mick Flannery would definitely be the nicest person I've met, though very shy.

Weller was as expected.

Keith Wood was a gas and Mick Galway took the piss.

Guy from The Christian's was a dude

Gaby Roslin said No!

Danny Baker is sound.

Walked around Fota golf course for a few holes with Paul Mcgrath following the golf at the 2002 Irish open. He was there on his own and fell into our group.

He was an absolute gentleman and he was pestered by people the whole time.

your imagination

Had a conversation with friends about this a little while ago... Someone I knew was looking for a 'celebrity' to appear at a charity event and looking for ideas/contacts. People were throwing names out as suggestions, and I was sitting there racking my brains trying to think of anyone, until I realised the table had gone quiet and everyone was looking at me... My best mate patiently reminded me of several famous people I know quite well, have worked with in the past, or have at least had enough contact with to be able to ask to make a guest appearance... The event manager thought I was holding out on him, but the truth is, I tend to forget that somebody is 'somebody'... To me they're just x, y or z that I happen to know or have known at some point

So to answer your question OP, I suppose most of them are just pretty decent people, as I can only ever really recall two utter diva experiences... Both were back in the late 80's/early 90's when I recall a certain portly American rockstar/actor being quite demanding, obnoxious and reducing a poor young waitress to tears, and the other incident wasn't actually the famous person himself, but his brother who had tagged along on tour and was prone to throwing his weight about and using the 'do you know who I am?' line to ride his brother's coat tails. I didn't stay in touch with either of these people.

Met Sir Stirling Moss a few years back at a classic F1 event. An absolute gent, incredibly switched on.

Still kicking myself that I was a metre away from Senna, in Silverstone '89 he was chatting to spectators, but we were Mansell fans and at the time, he was the enemy, so I turned my back and wandered off.....

Two people. Norman wisdom in birmingham where I was working in a shop..he was doing panto and asked me for directions to the theatre and was delighted that a young man (I was in late teens back in the early 90s) recognised him. He stood talking about his love for acting and his tv career. Great great man. And the second was sue pollard.. again was in the shop I worked and wanted a roll of 135mm film developing in the 1 hour service. She stood chatting about how film was developed and how she loved working with her friends on hi-de-hi. She was exactly dressed and mad as her character was on the show.
