I've met quite a few famous people...but as they are all Japanese it's probably not worth me posting their names.

Not exactly met ................... more brushed past. Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings in Buchanan Galleries shopping centre, Glasgow on Saturday. Kids chased after him but didnt have the bottle to ask for autograph.
Hubby got to walk aroung a practice round with VJ Singh a couple of nights before the Scottish Open (Troon) as he had no body guards unlike Tiger who had about 10. Was out cycling to Troon (lots of golf courses in this area) and hubby (golf freak) spotted Fuzzy Zoeller???????? and he spoke to us. Cant think of anything else other than Judith Chalmers whilst she was filming Wish You Were Here in Scarborough and Angela Rippon whilst filming Antiques Roadshow.......I got her autograph(in my defence I was about 8yrs old).
On returning from a trip to Italy with his rugby club in April my son met Walter Smith and Ian Durrant (Glasgow Rangers). He said they were friendly and they both signed about 20 autographs and sat for photos.

when we went to World Cup final in Berlin last year, we met the lanky footballer from the Trinidad/Tobago team ... also plays for a UK club too but I can't remember that neither

He was in Berlin airport with his WAG - what a jumped up **** that was! Prancing around with her Prada bag perched on her arm, looking down on everyone - I was in a foul mood cause we were delayed, the airport was heaving (sardine tin heaving, no joke !!!) and it was soooo hot - I just looked at her, shouted PATHETIC and laughed my head off. She was NOT a happy bunny and marched off hehe.

still can't remember his name! I'll google it lol

OK guys, get it off your chest. Time to brag/ dish the dirt. Shout em out. I`ll start.........................following my bands of the 80`s thread....Paul Young . He was eating at the local Indian in Battle / east sussex . I bumped into him as he was coming out and said the immortal words" Hey your Paul Young"

Whilst I have not many anybody famous we did see Billy Connoly in the indian takeaway in Berwick upon Tweed. At least we think it was him. It was a man that looked like Billy sitting eating alone in the whole restaurant apart from a couple of behemoths in suits standing looking menacing. In case Billy reads this we were the two wallys at the bar trying to look without looking ! But I do not suppose we were the only ones

How did you get to meet so many people?
The ABs came to my school for a training session. Saw the whole squad (except Jonah), but spoke with Cullen for a while.

Met Frank at some sort of festival in Suva, Fiji.

I thought people would be more interested in why I was having breakfast with the woman from ER?!

I was a nanny rather than an au pair to the family who lived next door to Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. Only met him once, but his wife linda was lovely.

Forgot to add, was nanny who lived in Gerrards Cross (posh town in Bucks), so couldn't go shopping without bumping in to somebody famous !!!
Had to queue behind Dave Lee Travis just to collect my JACKIE magazine in the newsagents and queued behind Cilla Black in the butchers !!!

Unfortunately don't recognise any NZ celebrities quite yet !!!
