I bought Andre Joubert (South African rugby full back) a JD & Coke at a seedy Durban nightclub. Awesome. Would have liked to have talked to him but it was too loud, I was three sheets and he seemed more interested in ladies fashions. Oh well...
Also the Wellington Blues rugby team, including the legendary Sean Fitzpatrick, made way for my poorly FIL at the queue for breakfast at the Crown Plaza, also in Durban. Thank you gentlemen.

I was waiting for a flight at Dublin airport, asked little bloke standing around if business class had been called forward yet...then some girls asked him for his autograph. It was Ronan Keating and I never recognised him as he was about 5ft nothing.
Met Queen Mum teetering in her huge platform heeled shoes- miserable old bat she was.
Used to see Richard Harris along the Strand- always used to say hello, as I thought I knew him - and guess he thought he knew me!
Angie Dickinson chatted to me in the ladies loos at a theatre- she definitely wanted to be recognised so I pretended I did not know she was an actress...I am so mean.

Bono once said to me,"If you don't f**k off my minders will break your back"

I've met Sir Trevor McDoughnut and Chris Tarrent when I was 7, Tarrent gave me a kiss and I was so upset, it took me ages to get over it.

I gave the Queen mother flowers, and did a little curtsy I practiced that for hours in front of the mirror![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I followed Angela Rippon as a child until she told us to leave her alone, she was on holiday and trying to be incognito.![Sneaky](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sneaky.gif)
I spoke to Don Johnson on the phone once(blond one from original miami vice series), I told him to get of the phone and let me speak to my cousin, thought it was a joke. Turned out he was mates with my uncle.![Unsure](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/unsure.gif)
oh and my claim to fame I was on the news tele three weeks ago (local news community stuff) but it was the tv.

At a pro-celebrity golf tournament in the 1980s I gave an apple to Terry Wogan and Ronnie Corbett. I also pointed author Leslie Thomas the right way to the bar.
I spoke to Noel Edmonds on the phone (my husband wrote some music for the Crinkly Bottom theme park).
And my brother in law worked with Bernard Hill (Titanic and Lord of the Rings actor) and he got his autograph for me!

You shouldn't be laughing, because he was definitely dream-cheating on you, love - he is excellent in the sack, I can tell you!! But then I was also cheating on him with Robbie, so.....
As for real brushes, we have inadvertently moved into a street where our neighbours-across-the-road-and-down-one has Natalie Imbruglia for a cousin! WooHoo!!
And I was on 15-to-1 so have actually shaken hands with the incomparable William G Stewart. Beat that.

I don't mind sharing David with you
