Sue Denim.. Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Paul Daniels. A bit of a sad personal hero but he really was great to watch and even did a bit of a magic show for a couple of us in the bar. A true original magician that didn't mind spending hours practicing a magic trick that we'd just go 'Phhhh' to in a moment. And into the bargain I got to see the fabulous Debbie McGee. I also had lunch with Phil Cool.... who turned out to be a right miserable cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Billy Connolly. A few of us snuck into (we were quite underage) a special reception at Stoney Town Hall as part of the folk festival one year as we'd heard a rumour he was there. We sauntered in, casually got a few pints and started chatting to him. Stayed for about 10 minutes before one of our teachers recognised us and we decided to beat a retreat.

Guest idol_wild Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Partying post-show with Broken Social Scene at the Buff Club in Glasgow in February 2006 was pretty special.

Lemonade Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 The most famous person I have met would probably be a toss up between Katie Melua and Bill Bailey. Tho I have met a few more minor celebs, I won't go all Avid Merrion and list them.I did get into a drunken ruck with Mark Little, aka Joe Mangle off of Neighbours once though. I'd like to say it was his fault cos he was being a total dick, but really it was my fault, and I was being a total dick. He's my arch nemesis now. I will get you Mark Little!

Murrr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I met Jonathan Edwards, he did some talk about Christianity in an RE class at school. I don't remember much of it, it was quite a while ago. In one of my dumber moments I managed to miss the chance of meeting a personal hero of mine, Sir Bobby Robson, when he was up promoting his book a couple of years ago .I've also met Duncan Shearer and, err... Steve Tosh... gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Lots through the years but my favourites are Ray Harryhausen, complete with skeleton from Jason and the Argonaughts and Sylvester McCoy who we met whilst filming at the Edinburgh Festival. We were trying to find a pub and as we walked in this guy said I wouldnt go in there it's packed and we said thanks we'ds try and go in anyway, then after about 2 minutes it struck me it was Sylvester McCoy and he was right we didnt egt served so as we left he asked if we wanted to join him for a drink elsewhere so we did, lovely guy, told me he loved it up here having spent many holidays in Peterculter. Met lots of more famous people but these are the best for me.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I facemelted a Holyoaks actor with some smooth jazz guitar at a house party in Tillydrone once.I heard they drunkenly peed on the sofa later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diarmaid Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 ginger wildheartDon't know about famous, cause really unless your a fan you wouldn't really care, but i got to interview ginger wildheart for the au paper last year when he came up with the god damn whores. That was awesome. I'd been told through the grapevine beforehand by soemone who'd worked with him he could be a real prick, thankfully that was not the case.Also tommy burns, who was also a lovely guy, but then again being a celtic fan no doubt helps. Though prpbably most famous person is Nick Cave. Though didn't actually met him, just walked past him, turned to my brother and in unison just went 'that was nick cave; fuck'. The people you se shopping on princes street.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get you Mark Little!My flatmate also met him once. I think it was in Moshulu when he was in town for something or other.Flatmate: "Hi Mark, how's it going?"Mark: "Just fuck off"He must be a cunt generally.

Alan Cynic Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm not going to say any musicians (although my mum possibly met John Lennon), so the most famous are probably Jock Stein, Alex Ferguson (played against him at 5-a-side) and Jean Paul Gaultier (photo with him somewhere).
