most famous person you have met

Myles would it have made any difference to you if they'd walked into Larry Reilly's pub instead?

Definition of famous on this thread is a bit too wide, imo. To qualify as famous, Shirley, a sports person has to be recognisable beyond the boundaries of those who are interested in his / her sport. For example, George Best, Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill, Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara, Sonia O'Sullivan are people whose name and face would be known to many who have little interest in football, rugby, athletics or whatever. I've little interest in GAA, so alot of the names of 'famous' people I'm reading on here mean nothing to me. May as well claim that you've met someone from Big Brother 6. Just saying, like.

This site must be useful for you then.

I'm on the non gaa discussion part of the forum - there's a clue there - which I find enjoyable rather than useful.  The political & religious debates and the humour are worth looking in for. JOG - no particular reason why I'm not keen on GAA, I just prefer rugby and soccer. I never liked hurling, I enjoyed playing gaelic football at school, but I was always a soccer player first and foremost. I always took an interest in the international rugby games, but since I got too old to play any sport, I've found that I've enjoyed watching rugby more and more. I'm now at the stage where I prefer watching rugby to soccer and I wouldn't miss an Ulster match at Ravenhill. Drink probably plays a part in that too. 

It's the none Gaa section of a GAA website. I just would have thought most people on this website would have an interest in GAA primarily. If not, would you not be better going to the likes of politics.ie. where some of the primary content is political and religious debate. Not that I'm chasing you or anything. I just find it strange that someone would go to a niche website just to get their general section.
But given it's a GAA website, can you not understand how the definition of famous would include GAA stars, given the posters interests.

The only discussion you get on a politics website is politics, naturally enough, and people can take themselves and their subject a bit too seriously. On a site like this one, you can get political debates, debates on other current affairs matters, discussions about religious matters, plus discussions about other sports. There's also discussions about absolutely nothing at all if you look closely enough  .

I understand why GAA people would figure on this thread, but I think there has to be a spill over into the wider world if someone is to be classed as 'famous'. So, as a non GAA fan, I can say that I would recognise people like Joe Brolly, Jarlath Burns, Brian McEniff and Pat Spillane, but that's because they all have a profile away from the pitch.

Are you a phone sex operator? If so, you've probably spoken to me on several occasions too. Another feather in your cap.

Borris Becker at a hotel bar on Miami. Had a beer with Marcus Latrell-Lone Survivor-at a conference where he was the guest speaker. Got my picture taken with Enda Kenny last year. Used to meet The leader of the Seanad all the time when he and his wife owned a chipper in Castlebar

You're lucky you didn't meet Borris in the broom cupboard Whitey   

Funny you say that....he was keeping odd company that night all right

Dan Falzon and Cameron Stout.  I saw Claire McCollum, Jimmy Nesbitt, Gerry Adams, Bryan McFadden, Lucy Pinder, Adrian Logan and Liz McColgan before, never talked to them though.  I need to get out more.

Sounds like some night you had in Katy Daly's. Had to google Cameron Stout and Dan Falzon!
