Eamon Coughlan came to my parent's house for dinner once.

Actually, speaking of the old pair. This is getting a bit tenuous but ...my Da knew both Flann O'Brien and Phil Lynott and has a rather low opinion of both of them. "Gurrier" is the term that tends to spring to his lips when either come up in conversation. And George Martin. Though I don't recall him ever referring to GM as a gurrier.

A low opinion of Flann O'Brien? Wha? Please to explain?

Not as a writer. As a person. He worked in the same department of the Civil Service as him for a while .... O'Brien would be coming in pissed all the time, not turning up, the usual stuff. Also he allegedly had a slightly nasty streak to him and treated some of the people around him, many of whom were covering his ass a lot of the time, really really badly. The Da does however, have a lot of respect for his writing ....

the strokes were very nice fellas, except for the lead singer, who was just a dick. i did also see the guy from the darkness with the dodgy tash and a call girl consummating their newly found friendship on a couch at a house party.which was nice.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I imagine that when he worked in the civil service, especially during his latter years there, he was probably rather unpleasant to deal with.

My da's friend Frank is there on the right. Next to the guy in white.

I don't know where to start. Or end.
I know a chick who snogged the singer from Ugly Kid Joe. Remember them?

Meeting your idols is one thing. Having them sick on your shoes is another.

Hmmm i met Kirk Hammett & Scott Ian on o'connell street, Mike Muir in mcgonagles, 2 of kings x outside the SFX, flea & the drummer bloke from the chilli peppers in the baggot inn, members of Sabbat, Acid Reign and a million other late 80's thrash bands in or around mcgonagles at various times. Met the drummer bloke from Snuff in london. Observed members of faith no more in beshoffs & members of danzig in some other fast food place. I've been within 20 feet of Michael Jackson, and i've pissed in guns & roses' (or was it faith no more's?) toilet backstage at slane. oh and i spoke to brian baker from dag nasty, although he was pretending to be in bad religion at the time.

Umm... what else... I high-fived the pope in Rome back in '82, was accosted by members of Sheeba in the lobby of the burlington hotel as a child, and in a previous career I met someone who was about to be charged with 3 nasty murders, some ex-IRA "political prisoners released as part of the peace process", some semi-famous models, and assorted out of work actors.

Oh and the bloke that plays yer man Paul (Brennan?) offa fair city bought me a drink for my 21st (my maaa knows his maaa) in the Waterloo which obviously tops the lot.

If I was married to Robin I'd be having an affair with yer wan in the flat downstairs too. Nagging wench.

Today.... just this very day Jimmy from Fair City WALKED BY ME in Temple Bar. I swooned, of course, but I don't think he noticed, although I'm sure he breathed on me. I'm going to Whelans to have a celbratory pint right now.

Robin is a hideous hag.
Yer wan downstairs is seriously hot.

 

[krystal]

Ben Kingsley - chatted with him in the Ambassador jacks at the premiere of Death And The Maiden

Pierce Brosnan - came into the bank to change US dollars. Around the time of Goldeneye. Old style $100 bills which we had been told as policy to "accept with recourse". No arguments there.

 

[billygannon]

My girlfriend snogged Evan Dando and was chatted up by Jamiroquai

Sadie Outlaw has the best "meeting famous person/s" experience in that she has met Guided By Voices.

 

[billygannon]

Oh! And last year I had a pint with Paul McGrath.
