Ever meet anyone famous and not realise it?

I'd been working concert security a few years ago in the summertime over in the U.S., and Greenday and Blink 182 came through on tour. i was working the side gates, the one access point for the main area to the back stage area. Just as they were starting to let people come in, Mark from Blink 182 comes up to me, and asks if there was any way he could get one of our security shirts (they were this horrible bright yellow colour). i look at him for a few seconds before I realised it was who I thought it was.


So I take him over to the security office with him, they recognise him as well and give him a shirt. Then, he goes and stands right next to our other guys that are posted right in front of the stage with the shirt on, and puts on a baseball cap which he wore low on his head. He stood there, in front of literally thousands of people who had come there to see him, and it took at least 30 minutes before anyone recognized him!

I met Bono at a wedding about 10 years ago. Before he could ask I gave him my autograph and for once the silly fucker had nothing to say!

Q: What's the difference between Bono and God?
A: God doesn't walk around the streets of Dublin thinking he's Bono!!!

BOOM! BOOM!

To stay on topic, I bumped into Julie Desmodhaulgh (Hayley from Coronation Street) whilst working for a well-known electrical retailer many years ago. I was putting a hi fi system into her car. Two weeks later, she came back and said, "You daft sod! You forgot my bloody turn-table!" Haha! She was just having a laugh about it, but it was a little embarrasing!

She wouldn't let me have a look unfortunately

BTW, I wanted to look out of morbid curiosity, not because I wanted to see some sausage! LOL!

I was in LA a few years ago ossified when I start chatting to some guy who was trying to place my accent after going through every nationality in the book, except the right one he gave up and I told him. Long story short turns out it was Mike Myers on the way to some Sean Connery gig accross the road


Met Glenn Hanserd, in the jacks in Dolans one night, ignorant self centered guy. Youd think he was famous or something.
I got in a fight with Mike Mills (bondy old fella from REM)
Bob Geldoff owes me money from wrecking an amp Id loaned him but he legged it after the show
And got Sonic Youth (band for all the old fellas here, although they are gettin on in years too) to sign Nirvana bootleg tapes and abortion leflets (cant remember whether they were pro or anti)

I've met Russell Watson ('The Voice'), John Thompson (of 'Cold Feet' fame) and Sara Cox (Radio One DJ) whilst working for a well known video game company. All as sound as a pound, very polite and give you the time of day.

I used to like REM before they started being useless mainstream cocksuckers. What happened, what was it over, and who won?
