I nearly met Sir Jackie Stewart once. He was standing alone at a function for Stewart Racing back in the late 1990s but I was too slow to go and speak with him. The thing is, he almost certainly knew my dad from the BRM team in the 1960s so it was not as if I didn't have a reason to say hello.
I got my picture taken with Rubens Barrichello that day - a lot shorter than I imagined.
Switching on the telly I just had the shock of seeing a face that I had hoped never to see again... The Planners Are Coming. It seems one of my former colleagues has had a career change and on the back of it become a reality TV star.

I met him in the early seventies along with Emerson Fittipaldi. My hometown hosted the bowling competition for The Superstars and I met a Who's Who of world sporting figures. I still have an autograph book filled with signatures.
I met Mcfly, shame the bomb didnt go off.
I met Paul Gross (the Mounty from Due South, Slings and Arrows, Passendale) at a film festival. He was really nice, funny and very polite to everyone who he met.

I've met a few others Canadian celebs but no one I think you guys would know.
I'm totally straight...but I would.
Then after shagging the Huskey, I'd let Paul Gross have a go.

When we arrived at Glasgow my dad was waiting with me at the the carousel for my bags when Magnus walked by and said ' Have a nice weekend', my dad was so shocked he shouted out 'how the f**k do you know Magnus Magnusson?'.
DAD: How the f**k do you know Magnus Magnusson?
ANGIEBABY: He made three passes at me to join the Mile High Club.
DAD: And did you?
ANGIEBABY: Pass.

He was a lovely man. We had a brief chat and he was just very nice.

I <3 him.
I am jealous. 
I marked Darren Fletcher (Man Utd) and nutmegged him a belter!
I play poker with a few Scots celebs, mainly footballers and actors.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ April 13 2009, 3:48 AM BSTOh and I've also met Matthew Stott, David Bussell and Ben from this forum - they're not famous yet, but they will be.
Good God. It's like the foretelling of the apocalypse.

Awesome!
Quote: Afinkawan @ April 13 2009, 2:07 PM BSTI served Rowan Atkinson with a coffee while he was filming Mr. Bean (I worked in the branch of Allders where he was looking for a frying pan to fit his fish).
Oooooo. Where's that?

Do e-mails count? If so, me too. She is lovely.
Quote: Graham Bandage @ April 13 2009, 10:02 PM BSTI've met Ken Dodd a couple of times (fiercely intelligent, always on)
Aweeeeesome. Got contact details?
Quote: Timbo @ April 14 2009, 12:18 PM BSTI once got ratarsed with Damien McBride, who has suddenly become much more famous than I - or he - ever suspected.
Spill! How much of a c**t is he in real life?

Who's that then?
Some dude off Emmerdale. So un-famous I can't remember his name or even what he looked like? All I remember is he had been shot (to death) in the show and was now doing crappy local news reports.
Simon Mayo, quick, fleeting and didn't even say goodbye. He chased after me, but I got into a taxi and escaped.
My mum knew one of the guys out of Black Lace (the one who died?). I'm sure I met him as a baby?
Scraping the barrel now... nah, not even worth mentioning this one...

I am hoping for salt & vinegar.
I do apologise zooo but they were ready salted. They are the king of crisps
Did you eat them off each other's fingers?

Talk about low standards!
