In your lifetime, which famous individuals have you seen in
person?

The first that comes to mind for me is Robert Moog. He came
to my university last April to give a lecture. He also
showed off his latest Minimoog model.

I've seen loads, but I guess different people have different
ideas of famous.

I think it's probably harder to avoid meeting Bob Geldof.

pierce brosnan. that's the fucker's name. i shook that
bastard's hand and exchanged smalltalk at the theatre once,
this australian play that was on..

the bastard

that's the closest i've come to meeting a celebrity. the
times i've seen bono he's just been on the street (once
filming a bit of a video off grafton st) or driving past in
his chrysler crossfire, the bastard (#2). i want that car.

uhm, simon pegg. aphex twin walked past me at a festival as
i was sat down. i wish i had shouted rich and then started
talking to my mate as that was also the name of my mate sat
next to me. ho ho ho, i saw kris akabusi(what a loser) on a
school trip and on the same day my mate got hit by a custard
pie by barry chuckle. i was very jealous. oh and i saw andy
crane at one of the Future publishing shows years ago. none
of these people are very famous really.

I used to work in this cafe on the Kings Road, so I saw
nimbling and slurping Kate Moss (I got to keep her lighter
(a cheapy 7-11 one, that's real class)), Rob Newman,
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Elle Mcpherson, Marc Almond, Marianne
Faithful, Ringo Starr, Rowan Atkinson (go turned away as we
weren't open), Rory Bremner, one of the Bros twins, Matt I
think, Guy Pierece (nice guy), Joan Armatrading...oh Sian
someone who does the weather, Leslie Ash (pre-lips), Prince
Naseem, Danni fucking Minogue (every day), that northern
bird... Bodington bitter adverts.... ooh fuck whasername?

And shit loads of nobodies, like dj format.

Geez, nobody, just local Celtic-pop stars. Ashley MacIsaac
is pretty (in)famous, Mary Jane Lamond, Natalie MacMaster,
do they ring any bells?

Oh and Chris Murphy and the guys from Sloan. Not massively
famous but they should be, I think they're the best rock
group in the world.

I've been to the player's lounge at Wimbledon several times.
Met a few there. I've met Serena and got Federer's autograph
the day before he won last year.

I also saw Leslie Ash last weekend and Martin Clunes filmed
a sitcom in my street.
