At one of our Christmas nights Stephen Hendry turned up. As I handed him his complimentary champagne I told him we'd heard he was coming so dressed up like him in his honour. I don't think he got the joke. Long breeks and shorts? Interesting combo. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlandmac Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Crawford said: Genuinely interested as to why. Me personally, I met Richard Hammond while he was filming an advert for Morrisons at the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge which was pretty random. My favourite celebrity encounter that I know of was my father in law meeting Shakin' Stevens. He was over the moon and asked for an autograph. Gave his name and was misheard as an e was added to the end of his name turning it to the typical female version of his name. My wife was with him so we think he thought it was for her. He was so gutted but too embarrassed to ask for another one. Myself&my pal had been drinking all day.as we staggered out of the QM nirvana,who were playing there that night,were unloading their stuff from a van;grohl then says something like,"oh just leave us alone!" as this was just them on the cusp of getting big&I assume they were getting a whole lot more attention from folk,though not on this occasion.so I told him to f**k off&get over himself as we weren't interested in them&we were just heading to another hostelry I'm a bit pissed off I never saw nirvana at the QM before they were huge;well,except for outside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Speaking of the QMU, Fred Durst of Nu-Metal sensations, Limp Bizkit tried to fire into one of my female friends outside The QMU around 1998. She promptly told him to f**k off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Met Arnold Schwarzenegger at a meet n greet when he was doing “an evening with…”. He’s much shorter than you might expect. I used to work in a bar and met quite a few famous folk due to it. Frankie from the Darkness and John Hartson were complete gents. The singer from Keane was desperate to be recognised. Goldie Lookin Chain we’re just a bunch of [loveable] idiots. James from Biffy is really nice, Ben is less so but loves to talk, Simon is pretty aloof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Didn't realise the threshold was so low as to include thon Doric wifie from River City. She got on the number 3 bus in Torry with some pals in the summer. I passed Michael Gove in the woods in Aberdeen a wee while ago. He was out a wee run. I met Mark Millar at the bar at the Ramshorn. No idea who he was until the next day. It was at the height of his fame. He's a handsome fella. Famous folk you didn't meet for the following pish, but the day after I quit at Greaves Sports in Glasgow Morgan Freeman and Jet Li came in for a wee bit shopping. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
